Make the trip to GA, not too far!

Don't tempt me! I'm trying to SAVE money!

So you like those springs huh? I still haven't pulled the trigger on any other suspension parts.. I'm holding off for some reason, but not sure what that reason is exactly. lol I also wouldn't mind swapping in some sway bars at the sametime either.

I bought WORK Wheels. In particular the Emotion CR 2P in 20x10 and 20x11. This is a 2 piece wheel that will have custom offsets front and rear. The offsets are still TBD ATM.

I really like these wheels as well. What offsets did you decide on?

Love the build Todd!

:cheers:

Did you take it on a beat run yet? Get that thing to a Road Atlanta HPDE day already!

I just got back from taking it on a 15 minute shake down run on some back roads near my house. WOW...The car is so freaking planted it is not even funny. I am so, so happy with these parts. What a nice compliment to the car and taking it up a couple of notches for handling performance. The brake dive has been reduced drastically. I hammered them at 60mph and I swear, there was hardly any nose dive. Braked true and straight.

It is an option. It is called the Redline option.

I really do. This is the best of both worlds. I get a tremendous ride and then when I push it, it just begs for more corner speed. More and more, that is not a lie.

We actually finalized the specs today.

+38 up front and +45 out back. This will be with the 'A' disk, AKA the super deep concave disk for both front and back. The front lip will be 2.4" and the rear lip will be 2.6". I will also run a 5mm spacer up front to all the front caps to work without issues.

Cool :cheers:

Always good to read an independent review of aftermarket parts such as the Steeda suspension kit you had installed. Thanks for the write up and pictures. I have always been impressed Steeda's quality. Just seems like a waste to pay for the PP only to uninstall half of it with no intentions of tracking the car. On the street, you'll never, at least legally, realize the full potential of those parts. Why not save the $$ and take your wife on a nice vacation? To each his own, I guess....

The tracking of my car will likely be a once a year at some local track day type. Could be 2 times. I like to have my DD to be a firm and sure footed setup. These suspension upgrades have created a better driving and riding car vs. stock PP. The bouncy ride is gone. Wheel hop has been improved. Money well spent in my eyes.

I didn't buy a 46k car to make it a track car and potentially end up wrecking the car. My car will also see the drag strip once or twice a year, not that this suspension is conducive to that type of racing anyway.

We have 3 vacations booked already this summer. Guess I get to enjoy the best of both worlds, modifying my car and taking the wife/children on vacations:cheers::lol:

Great post Todd. Thank you! Beautiful Car. My plans are very similar. I am a bit confused - did you go with Work Emotion CR 2P wheels or MRR GT350 Replica? Offsets? Weights? And tell me about your interior - what is the red stitching?

Thank you!

I did go with the WORK Emotion CR2P wheels. The final offsets are 20x10 +38 and 20x11 +45. The order was placed yesterday as we did not finalize the offsets until last night.

The red stitching is part of the premier trim package. It comes on the Recaro's and is called Redline.

EDIT - I have fixed my first post now so everything read correct

Great build! Can't wait to see those wheels on the car. Please do some videos of your exhaust! :-) I'm considering adding X-pipe to my Roush AB as well. Wife will hate me for it...worth it? Lol

I've got the ROUSH AB with H-pipe. I love it, not quite as raspy as the X-pipe and it's LOUD! [ame]https://vimeo.com/127416457[/ame]

*sidenote, don't mean to jack your thread. Sorry*

Thanks for posting the videos guys! I don't have one yet of my setup but it sounds just like the first video posted .

It is loud, especially 5k RPM and above.
