Finally drove #LS337 home today. Sweet sweet car. There's definitely a noticeable difference in the chassis/suspensions between the two Boss's.

I would say I hate you but that is too mild of a word
Well at least you you don't have a Ford GT(40) ... or do ya?

Are you going to get them on track for a true side by side? I too noticed the suspension was a little firmer on track, but with the track wheels, tires, rotors, pads, SS lines and add'l camber, I was a few seconds faster in my regular Boss. Would be nice to run them stock to stock with the same tires for a truer comparison.

Nice! I can't believe there aren't more people looking to do this, am very interested to hear how it affects the handling. Please post on that when you get a chance.

Had my first lapping session in the Boss tonight. It's been a few years since I've been on the track so I was expecting to spend some time clearing out the cobwebs, which is what happened. Wasn't expecting to have difficulties being consistent turning into the slow corners because I was so distracted listing to the sweet, sweet music of aggressive blipping and downshifting. I lost my freaking mind every single time. :-)

Until someone goes by me in a Boss with after-market suspension, I'm leaving it. If I get passed though, I will be ready to order whatever sorted out package they put together.

springs
I dont have any plans on road racing the car, lowered it purley for looks, not to try and improve the way the car drives, love the way it drives stock, I dont like a big gap between wheelwell and tire, as long as it does not have a big affect on handeling I will leave it like that, plus a rear spring swap takes maybe a 1/2 hour, can always put the stock springs back in if I was going to track it, but will post honestly my opinion on it when I get it out, lowered my SVO and it killed how it handeled
