S/C it is!

Ordered JDM Saleen S/C kit! Stage 1 with Saleen Snorkel, so basically Stage 2 w/o need to lower the engine with solid mounts.

Other mods coming up; suspension kit (haven't decided yet) and probably steeda front shock mounts (that clunking is making me crazy!).

I'll write some more, after I get the S/C kit and the weather gets warmer for installation. GT/CS-S/C, woohoo!

Saleen Suspension

I like the Saleen suspension as well. It settles to a perfect height to still be able to do aggressive street driving with out bottoming out. Erik

what are the steeda parts in your suspension? I assume you have Saleen Springs/Shocks/Struts?

Saleen/Steeda suspension parts

Saleen springs, shocks,struts, front sway bar.
I have the Steeda:
rear swaybar + HD blue braces
adj panhard bar and brace
g-track bar(lower strut support)
front sway bar braces(additional anti-sway compliance)
billit rear lower control arms.
Above are in order of priority items I'd say clearly transform the suspension to an amazing level for street. Below are just added for little technical additions that I wanted, but are not needed for street.

Shock tower brace(welded)
triangulated dual polychrome chasis support framing(welded)
adjustable rear upper control arm
front lower control arm relocation kit(welded)
rear lower control arm relocation brackets
bump steer kit
X-5 ball joint change out(machined to spec)
street end links front

red chip engine mounts

Borla cat-back exhaust

In summation, I love it. I still like the confort of the ride, and it drives like a 100,000.00 car. Cornering and steering compliance from stock is night and day. Truly a race car suspension, with out being so low as to bottom out is real street situations. Brakes are next. Erik
