Went to the drag strip for the first time ever and ran a 14.75. Not too shabby

Got the springs in today and man I just love how they feel and handle. I will be taking it to the shop to have is aligned. A buddy of mine has these springs and he didn't need bolts or a bar. He races often. Check out the install pics. Took 2 hours flat I'll have so before and after pics in about a week or so once the springs settle

Alright so it's been just shy of a week of my springs being on. I'm pretty sure the springs won't settle much more than this

Ok so I got my car aligned with the Eibachs all settled in, and the only thing that was off was the toe. I did not need any camber bolts or a panhard bar. I repeat. I DID NOT need camber bolts or a panhard bar. I took my car to Goodyear. I took them there because they guarantee their work for 6 months/6,000 miles. I will be taking the car back in a month or so to make sure the alignment is still within spec

Awesome stance. Not too low. It surprised me how often I used to catch the from lip in my V6. I don't seem to do it as much in my GT. That would be my only worry about springs, but that looks perfect. You move the sticker? Also, says you got a black deck lid. Don't see it in the pics. Hows it look on the red?

Thanks. The deck lid panel and axle back exhaust are in the mail. They should be here by weds.

What do you mean by move the sticker?

A buddy of mine who owns a 2010 Race Red GT was kind enough to donate his stock spoiler to me.Look forward to seeing an installation and pics of this in the next few weeks

FYI 2010 was Torch Red, not Race Red. Torch was darker and not as red-orangish...

We all parked our Race Reds together two days ago, the 'donor's' car (2010 GT) was, indeed, Race Red, and it matched.

Well you guys know how I love to tell you about the little deals I find. Well I found another one. A few weeks ago a buddy of mine bought some HID for his Camaro SS for $32.00 on ebay. They look amazing! And so far he has had ZERO problems with them. So i went ahead and ordered my self a pair. They should be ariving withing the next couple of days, around the same time as my Roush Axleback and decklid. Looks like ill be plenty busy for a while with this car this weekend. Im going to have 3 Projects. Spoiler, Exhaust, and HID's. Stay tuned!

Oh and btw here is the link if you guys wanna order a set. Its almost stupid not too at these prices

So unfortunately the HIDs did not fit the car. I need a xenon HID kit. On a brighter note my exhaust has been installed and I have videos! The videos do not do justice for this exhaust. Will be testing it tonight on the highway tonight. The test drive video is with the windows down.

Mufflers removed

Mid pipe removed

Roush axle back with AIRAID CAI

Test drve
