Default New mods installed today

Well, spent the better part of the day installing some mods, here is the list.

1. D-Specs (new strut bearings as well.) This seems to have completely taken care of my front end noise, we'll see if it stays gone. I have a feeling it will return. I had these installed. If anybody is from NE Ohio and looking for a great suspension installer, Jack at Terry's Tire Town in Hartville is top notch. Very meticulous. Still having fun playing with different setting combos.
2. BMR street lower control arms and relocation brackets. Love these. It was wet when I drove it after the install. Usually spinning the tires when it was wet caused huge wheel hop, not today, it was great to not get rattled by a little wheel spin.
3. Installed a lower billet grill to match my upper Shelby billet. Looks sharp. Instructions sucked but other than that it wasn't bad.

After installing these parts, the car feels like it should have from the factory. These are by far the best mods yet, with JLT CAI and B a m a chips tunes being a close second.

I've had my d-spec in since March... eliminated the front end clunk and it has not returned...
