Default Installed new suspension parts

Hello all, this past weekend I installed my new parts to include:

BMR LCAs (non-adj)
BMR Panhard Bar (non-adj) and Brace
BMR HD Rear Sway Bar

Total installation took about 5 hours or so including jacking up the car and putting jack stands under the car. Wasn't bad at all, I still have the Steed G-trac brace and a BMR UCA w/mount to install. Wasn't looking forward to lowering the fuel tank. The car does hook much much better now. I had a friend with an 07 GT to help out. He went with me on the test drive, lol, when we got back he said " Man, that was almost as good as sex, I need a cigarette. " But that is b/c he also doesn't have a CAI or Tune yet which he said is now on the way. I'll keep you guys posted with the rest of the installation later on. No pics though of the installation, sorry. But I will take some pics underneath so you guys can see how it looks. And I didn't get the parts painted red, could really care less about color lol.

I've got all those parts sitting in my basement waiting to be installed.Like you...I'm not looking forward tothe UCA mount install. Take pics of that one for sure - I've yet to see a "How To" for the UCA mount (plenty of how-tos for the UCA, but not the mount).

That BMR quality is top notch eh?

Oh, ya, my car rides like a champ now. In fact, about 20min after posting this, it was so nice outside I went out and installed my Steeda "G-trac" brace as well. Lol, took me 15 min, I was just waiting b/c I had to run to autozone and get a 12mm hex for the new bolts steeda supplied for it.
