I've been meaning to write up a review and build list for my car and now that it's fixed I have the time to do so.
BMR sway bars
BMR cradle lockout
BMR LCA bearing
BMR toe links
BMR vertical links
BMR end links
Ford racing toe bearing
GT350R springs
Steeda Adjustable Camber Arm
Steeda Billet Shock Mounts
JM camber plates
SPL camber bolts
MGW shifter
AP BBK Kit
Ferodo DSUNO pads
Ferodo DS2500 rear pads
Speigler SS brake lines
Torque RT700
Volk Racing TE37 19x10.5
Bridgestone RE71R 305/30/19
Resonator delete
Zl1 tow hooks
Amsoil air intake filter
Amsoil Oil, Trans and Diff Fluid
Ford racing catch cans
Custom Alignment
When I bought this car I did so because it had enough power where the motor didn't need to be touched. However the suspension needed help. The biggest gripe I had was how much the car rolled. The sway bars were too soft and the suspension was too soft as well. Luckily the R springs fit the bill perfectly. They are stiffer, more linear and don't drop the car much if at all.
I set the BMR sways to middle up front and soft out back. Hands down the sway bars and the springs made the biggest difference on this car at the track. The car is very neutral but I can get it to power oversteer on demand.
After my last trackday the alignment was spot on. Even tire temps and even tire wear. Camber on the rear is perfect as well. Which makes me think that I would have been ok with Steedas aluminum non adjustable arms if they were out when I bought the adjustable ones.
Temps have been in check with no signs of overheating at all, even in 105F weather.
Overall the brakes have been my favorite part. While oem were good, aftermarket pads are still sparse, pad changes are awful and dust boots still fry.
With the AP setup I have been able to brake much later and harder without an issue. Pad changes take about 30 seconds and the pad options I have are limitless.
My future plans is to do the front LCA bearing once I see what BMR and Steeda offer. I know Cortex has one but I'm not in a huge rush.
After having my motor snap an intake valve I'm apprehensive to modify this motor at all.
Here are the Steeda arms, they come with Allen bolts that only go into the arm about 6mm or so, so I ended up putting in longer bolts since it's tapped all the way anyway.
Here's a shot of a few of the parts on the rear.
