For the last two weeks I've been doing a major suspension upgrade. I'm usually stuck in front of my computer so I've been working on this on the weekends and at night when I can. I finish tomorrow and go to the speed shop for alignment monday AM:

Steeda Delrin Billet Aluminum Vertical Links
Steeda Adjustable Toe Links with Ford Performance Toe Link Bushings
Steeda IRS Bushing Kit
Steeda Progressive Lowering Springs
Steeda Pro Action adjustable shocks/struts
Steeda Front/Rear Sway Bars with Billet mounts
Steeda Sway Bar Adjustable End Links

I already had the Steeda "Stop the Hop" starter kit (IRS spacers, Alignment kit and IRS braces) installed so this completes the total Stop the Hop setup.

I do NOT have the rear camber arms installed, bump steer kit or front control arms. I also didn't replace my rear control arm bushings.

Tomorrow I put the car back on the ground and see if I'm rubbing anywhere and how bad my camber/toe is in the rear.
The Steeda front control arms and bumpsteer kit makes a HUGE difference, i highly recommend it !

Same here. I think the owner of the one in NW Atlants is a forum member on here.

Well the other day. Forgestar CF5 Silver, in 19 x 10 +42 all around with 5m spacer in front. Stock PS4 sizes till these are BALD, kinda expensive tires!.Monster lugs in blue W/blue caps.Dropped a full 6lbs per wheel while going wider! A whole 1/8" clearance to strut in front. I see a wider spacer once I go square setup in a yr or three depending on tire wear.

you should have done the control arms (w/ extended ball joints) instead of stuff like sway bars. makes the biggest difference in handling and steering characteristics

Installed a set of ATAKs on the wife's SN95. Changed the oil in it and the S197. Washed my S550 and drove it around a bit

I'll make that decision once I see how it drives. I had to stop the wallet bleeding somewhere...

It's definitely on the build list tho. So are the camber arms.

Road trip to northeast Ohio to visit family. My 81 year old father is losing his battle with cancer so I had to take the opportunity when it presented itself. These pics are at the beach I swam at in the 60s and 70s and is just 5 miles from where I grew up. This is Craig Beach on Lake Milton, OH.

Loaded the GT theme in my ecoboost, I never knew it existed and how much easier on eyes it is, especially at night, the night mode is fully blacked out, super nice.
