Thanks, I think I'm going to at least try it.

I keep seeing that parnelli jones saleen car int he MotM bar on the side, might as well give it a shot. Worst thing that can happen is that I remove it.

Which **** is the Boss? Is it the same pattern as the GT500? I kinda like the stainless look.

Yeah I thought it was alcantara too? Guess not... Are the GT500s' shiftboot and e-brake boot alcantara?

The front Konis + GT500 mounts (one of my stockers fell apart when I took it out, ball bearings everywhere

)

Can't say enough good things about this setup, a total change of attitude for the car.

I have another thread on this (see the YB section), but some quick shots of the new wheels:

What springs did you use? Love the stance.

The konis are all 4 set to 1 turn for now. Feels perfect. Probably play with them on the trip to Laguna Seca on Thursday

The springs are eibach sportlines
