Has anyone installed the Whipple with Adaptive Cruise Control? Just the heat exchanger clears the sensors up front? I saw in another thread someone said with their Paxton it didn't.

Yep, I have a Premium fully loaded with Adaptive cruise. Everything works perfectly.

Finally finished my suspension today. Well, as long as my favorite vendors stop making "must have" parts that is....... Here are the parts I chose

DSS Aluminum Driveshaft
FFRP 1/2 Shafts
Steeda F&R Sway Bars
Steeda Billet Sway Bar Mounts
Steeda Subframe Alignment Pins
Steeda Front K Brace
Steeda Adj Toe Links
Steeda Subframe Braces
BMR CB005 But With Stock Arms (To use Steeda Braces)
BMR SP082B Rear Springs (Soon to get their 7/8" front springs)
BMR F&R Sway Bar End Links
BMR Delrin/Bearing Vertical Links

I have BMR's new Diff Lockout Kit sitting on my bench but I have decided (for now) not to install it. I had Steeda Red Diff Inserts for a while and hated the NVH so I took them out and for that reason I don't think I am going to go that route again.

I have BMR's new driveshaft loop on its way as well and will throw that in soon.

I will be installing BMR's 7/8" front springs once I get them AND somebody finally comes out with a good strut option because I really don't want to do the install another two times. I currently am using Steeda Progressive Springs in the front (was using them all around). The drop I got was too low for my taste but it wasn't the springs fault, it was the added weight of the supercharger on progressives that made the drop more pronounced. A friend has Steeda Linear springs and the same Whipple setup as me and his car is at least 1/4" higher.Kelly from BMR sent me the rear springs for now so I could get the rear suspension done all at once.

I have heard Viking may possibly have front struts out in December so I have my fingers crossed for that. Also hoping they can resolve the rear shock rattle so I can get another set of Warriors because they rode unbelievable.

Test drove it today and I am just blown away with how nice it rides. Honestly, I think it rides better now and don't know if its the linear springs, the delrin/bearing vertical link or the combination of both.

Its nice to have finally finished my suspension, especially since come next week I will be starting a major install and adding anther one of my vehicles to the Whipple club :)

Not too bad, pretty straight forward. I used CJ Pony Parts video to start but ended up just removing the last bottom knuckle bolt and completely removing it. It made it so much easier.
