I bought the springs off a guy on eBay for $100. They are the same springs as the CDC package.

I just got back from a 2 month deployment last night though, so my entire new suspension is sitting out in the garage for when I get a free day to play with my car

I quoting myself because I finally got the stuff installed July 31st seemed like it took forever to get the opportunity to do it. Thanks to a buddy and my son we got a lot of stuff done. So this is what the CDC kit aka left over Foose Stallion stuff looks like. I guess some pictures of the actually stuff might be nice but I forgot to take those. I did forget to bring the rear sway bar so at the moment both bars are stock GT bars. I do notice a little less roll and the balance is very nice. i haven't had a chance to really push it yet. I think I'll do the rear bar first and if I don't have too much over steer leave it like that. With the huge rear tires I am running my thinking is that will balance out nicely. If it does over steer I have the bigger bar from the GT500 I can put in the front.

We installed the struts and springs today on V6. We could not install the sway bar because it comes with no hardware at all. The install went ok, my son drove off when we were done , so I cant say much yet, but we will let you know.

I believe Steeda sells the hardware for the rear sway bar install on the V6.

I got the rear sway bar from the CDC kit installed yesterday just gives it that extra bit of turn in. Maybe it is flatter but not by much ready darn flat but push it just bit through the corner and the line stays tighter. What a deal for the money.

got the rears springs installed today with my LCA + Panhard

went to setup for the fronts and noticed the car sits perfectly level. I'm torn now. I've got GT500 upper strut mounts and the new springs for up front...but she is sitting level.

think I'll wait a week and see if the rear settles out any.

pics below. The car handles like a dream. These springs are more aggressive than stock, but not "in your face". Best $100 I've spent on my car in a long time
