Nice! How about the K Member Brace?
I just installed the Steeda (Spicer)Aluminum DS (Thurs night), which was the last piece for underneath the car. Working my way out, the GT350R Brakes, Velgen Wheels and Nitto Tires are going on.
Then, I get more serious about the engine.

Circling back to this thread after close to a year after getting the suspension and chassis right where I've wanted it. Not only does the car sit exactly like I want, it still handles like a dream. No clicks, clunks, thumps, rattles, squeaks or anything undesirable; just pure handling bliss...
Have you measured actual angles and trigged this out? Do you know, by way of actual data, how much of an angle the CV used on the QA1 accommodates? If so, have you compared that to what the standard use "u" joint accommodates? Based on these measurements, what's the total delta (i.e., TIR)?

@Highvolts has already answered your question, but one important thing to note about the front factory clamps is, they're structural (i.e., Torca-type), so no need to replace. I'll be removing my X-Pipe soon to install the Steeda one piece Aluminum drive shaft and interested to inspect the...
I get what youāre saying, but Steeda is not likely to respond while, by all appearances, itās about phallic measuring. Not busting on you, but Iāve spoken to them collaboratively and it has worked out well. Theyāre not here to argue with anyone nor are they obligated to divulge what has taken...
I purposely started a bit tight on mine and after getting a feel for the difference over stock, Iāve started loosening things up. Total turns out is one and quarter, so I started at half that front and rear. Iām down to quarter turn out front and rear and will likely end at full loose in the...
I understand why youād feel that way as Iāve read lots of comments about various troubles, noises, etc., but I did 100% of the work to mine using 100% Steeda parts and did the alignment myself. My car is seriously quiet, rides far superior to stock, handles like a dream and looks incredible. I...
I can say without a single doubt, going to the ProAction Struts and Shocks will make a world of difference with the spring change. I went with the Steeda Dual Rates and held off installing them until the new struts and shocks arrived. I'm incredibly happy with my decision.

I can echo this with the Steeda Dual Rate springs I installed on my '21 GT. The ride quality is far superior to stock and the handling differences are off the charts.
And yes, springs are different than they were even two years ago. Although they appear simple, springs are actually complex in...
I didn't, as I don't like to add stress to components on the other side that I can't monitor to ensure I remain within yield limits. Too many stories about, "I installed XX parts and now I have this weird thing (squeaks, rattles, clunks) going on.
Ideally, I would drop both sides at the same...
No issues with mine at all; the fronts were actually a breeze. However, dropping one side at a time in the rear didn't release the springs, so I had to get a bit creative. I had the old clamps that affixed my camper top to my truck, so used them as compressors for the rear as my actual spring...
This is a very interesting and technically viable approach. I design ground and closed springs frequently for firearms use, but never considered it for automotive applications. Would definitely give this a try.

Ah, gotcha, makes perfect sense. I was in the same place when I thought my car was Magneride. Magneride is pretty awesome, but I was actually happy to discover I donāt have a Magneride car. Youāre correct to be hesitant/skeptical and maybe someone that has messed around with making changes...
