Looks good [MENTION=22305]BigHo[/MENTION]. I recently installed the track springs and shocks and this handles so fine right now. It corners like rails and more comfortable than previously with the Koni shocks. There's an inter county hwy that I frequent and there's a big sweeping corner that's fun to push the car a little bit - I took it up to 110 and the car stayed planted. Even let off the steering wheel a bit at the end and it was no problem. It seems like the more you hit the throttle in this car now the better it grips in corners.

The ride is only worse on bad roads and certain bumps. I love on and off ramps when hooked up with some decent summer tires it is a lot of fun. Firm and not bouncy.

Very glad you're happy with it. I should of have done this package from the very beginning. I have everything from the FRPP track package except the sway bars and toe links. In its place I have BMR bars and toe links.

As I said before in one of my previous threads, the toe knuckle bearing makes a NOTICEABLE difference in throttle through corners. IMO there's a reason why Ford decided to replace that particular bushing. That mod by itself is worth it I think.

I do wonder with the benefits of the toe-knuckle bearing, what added benefit would be seen with upper and lower control arm bearings as well. Boomba Racing sells fully assembled UCAs w/ Teflon-lined bearings but they are expensive. They may have LCAs as well. And I know that BMR sells LCA bearings. Still, I think at least for the street it's not necessary at all.
