almost forgot.
6. Megan front upper control arms
Already have, super pro steering rack bushings, front & rear sway bar bushings, eibach sportline springs, bilstein sport shocks, megan rear lower control arms, traction rods, top speed 6 piece rear brace kit.
The car handles great, the swaybar bushings took out most of the body roll and tightening up the rear did wonders. I just want to get rid of the last bit of body roll and upgrade braking to have a complete package.
The last batch of parts should be here next week, will update soon as the arrive.

Arizonaperformance.com wildwood 6piston13" 2 piece rotor fronts and braided lines. Andy at Arizona performance was real helpful and knows his brakes. Plus he has a auto sports background so he is not just a sales rep sitting behind a desk pulling parts to sell.<br/> Even his packaging is top shelf. Everything boxed and wrapped individually so nothing had not even a scratch.<br/> For the rear for now just going with upgrades. StopTech drilled & slotted rotors with their braided lines, hawk HPS pads.




Better look at the rotor.

My daughter loves getting packages in the mail. she calls me at work to let me know (We got another box!)
Every delivery is like a present to her she loves unwrapping.

Also the front setup is just a straight Bolt on all the brackets included and are well made with trimming of the dust shield required.

Nice collection of parts to be installed.

What is the size of the Superpro Front Sway bar?

Sweet brake setup. I'm jealous.
Nice selection overall, in fact, that should make it a much more engaging drive.

Thanks. I do a 50mile commute, since I spend so much time in it might as well make it enjoyable.

Round III BC coils installed. Let settle for a few days then reset the ride height again. They settled about a inch. Firmed up the ride and took the last bit of body roll out.
I have them set 9clicks off firm on the front and 17clicks on the rear. This puts me half way between daily Driver and track day settings from Figs recommendations.
