The fact Roush wants $200 for that plastic baffles me. I mean that is A LOT of money for those... you have to admit. I'd pay that for some aluminum ones for sure. Oh well... look good though, especially when smoothed and painted. Saw a set the other day.

Have you seen how expensive the OEM ones are?

 

[wildcatgoal]

Yes - a lot, especially the ones I have with the super-cool-dude turn signals in them.

And, on that note, I've seen how expensive the front PP splitter (just the black plastic part) is from a Ford parts counter, too (>$500). And that is a mass produced product, relatively. I "may or may not" have had a tire shop park the front of my car over a curb and screw mine up recently... :(

Yeah I ripped the turn signals out and tucked the wire for them in the fender. lol

 

[wildcatgoal]

Sorry but those turn signals are f'ing gay. Excuse my non-PC French. And sorry to the French. But they are. #rantover

Mine is currently in the shop for a worse incident :(. I managed to get a PP splitter and bellypan (since you need both) within the same cost estimate as replacement. Bellypan is ~$200 and PP splitter ~$400 from the best dealers (Tasca, Levittown, Whitebear etc). Headlamps and Foglamps are REALLY expensive.

I hate bad drivers who aren't paying attention that cause me to either crash into them or smash up my front end

I just got one off of eBay for $100 shipped and I have a new bumper with 2 miles on it for $150. I'll put that new bumper on when I finally loose all of my paint on the front bumper from road courses, haha.

As for the fog lamps... who was the genius that came up with the light patter on those?

wow strong numbers for a pretty stock car!

 

[BMR Tech]

It actually made 430 uncorrected.

Its a runner for sure!

 

[wildcatgoal]

Very nice! Congrats.

Testing these "econo" Poly Vertical Links out for a while.

If all goes as planned, these should be a homerun.

I put a little over 5,000 miles of SERIOUS abuse on the Super Pro Links - a quick review will come soon. Great parts!

Also forgot to add. My custom valved Viking Double Adjustable Front Coilovers are in.

I am going to use the following combo.

Viking DA Front Struts (AK valving)
300lb/in Coilover Springs
BMR Custom End Links (pictured)
Stock Front Sway Bar (PP)Rear BMR SP085 980lb/in SpringsViking B358AM Rear Shocks
Stock Rear Sway Bar
BMR ELK014 Rear Bar End Links

Once I get this set up tested - I will move onto sway bars based on what I feel the car needs.

We have a SUPER BADASS new front sway bar coming....and also a revised front sway bar mounting system - so I will likely be showing those off soon. I am thinking thr 35mm front and 25mm rear will be the ticket. But we shall see.

Kelly, I really like those custom end links. Can you tell me the length from mounting stud to mounting stud in its shortest form? I have switched to Airlift which comes with their shorter end links but I'm not a fan and I would like to change them out.

 

[BMR Tech]

Theyre 7.5" as pictured.

Should shorten up to approx 6.5"
