Project almost done...
Hi All,
I have a 2006 GT Conv with a Kenne Bell 2.6lc SC, long tubes, x-pipe, hushpowers, spec3, steeda shifter for my drivetrain setup. Not bad 481 rwhp.
I know the suspension was horrible in the car, so a project to just put in springs and shocks turned into the following...
bmr k-member and tubualar a-arms with 1" taller ball joints, 1 piece axle-exchange driveshaft, bmr front loop, bmr rear tunnel brace, umi adjustable front end links, gt500 front sway bar, tokico d-spec adjustables, h&r race springs, upr bump steer kit, upr rear upper control arm, steeda rear lca, steeda panhard rod/brace, steeda rear sway bar-billet end links, bmr a-arm brace, steeda radiator cross member, steeda sway bar braces, rear girdle cover, stainless brake lines, all new purple synthetics in the car.
Getting the car ready to handle a new short block next year and 19 lbs of boost...
Hope I can give and get advice on this forum...

Welcome aboard.
Wish I'd seen that list in the other thread.
How low did it drop and have you done anything about correcting the cambers?

I should drop 1.5" with I believe a 320lb rate front spring.
I am using Maximum Motorsports caster/camber plates.
My garage floor was leveled with lasers so I can do my own alignments. I use Longacre alignment tools...
