HAha little competition here huh.
A buddy of mine got The Steedas. What seems to be the most popular choice?
And all this after I told myself I was only going to do hood struts and a boss splitter up until the AM car show in August. LOL

If I ever get springs I'd probably go steeda as well. But I'm waiting for a new Shelby. I really want to see the difference between a stock Shelby and one with the svt package with adjustable shocks.
Can't wait for this Saturday to ride in your car John...I'm stoked!

I'm going to Firestone Saturday. Are there specific alignment specs I need to find for my set up or just have them align to stock? I thought I read somewhere there were specifics, but none of my gear came with instructions.

Ok cool. No plates, but I got bolts. Didn't end up using them but I'll bring them with just in case. I just hope they can fit my car on the rack, the front is really low.
