Default New suspension mods

Well, I've been pulling parts together for months, finally going to start tackling the install tomorrow. Going to be doing major suspension mods + installing a TR-6060 6-spd.

Suspension goodies:

H&R OE Sport Springs
H&R Rear Sway Bar
Roush Anti-hop UCA kit
Koni FSD shocks struts (thanks only to Koni's awesome sale last month)
GT500 upper mounts
FRPP Front Control Arms
FRPP/SVT 8.8" 2012/2013 axle assembly w/ 3.73's
FRPP Bump Stop kit

The car already has a recent set of GT500 LCA's. Those will be staying.

A few of the goodies ready to go:









I'll also be throwing fresh rods ends on the existing Fays2 Watts link (they've been on there for several years, figure as long as everything is apart, might as well put new ones in)

And before anyone says it, the very mild drop (actually a rise, because I'll be taking Steeda Ultralites out) and fair amount of rubber in the suspension (vs. urethane, etc) is 100% intentional.

I mostly use the car for short and long distance cruises, with a very rare instance of a track or autocross trip. I'm also moving to an area that's far more rural, and there are a lot more uneven roads and driveways, hence the desire to regain a bit of suspension range and ground clearance.
