Just pulled the trigger

I just bought a set of Whiteline relo brackets, Whiteline LCA's, Whiteline PHB and brace, FRPP P springs and GT500 hats. Once I do the install I know I will need a realignment, does anyone know of a good place in MD to get the job done? I was thinking of going to At Speed because they do a lot of race stuff, just wanted to know of any other place.

I am hoping it is. I also hope to get it on before the 9th of March so I can test it out at Summit Point.

I just got off the phone with Jay from Hypermotive, I had to order the Whiteline Relo brackets from him as it seems he has a corner on market. Unfortunately I wasn't able to buy the other Whiteline products from Hypermotive, the other items finally shipped from the vendor. I think from now on I will be going through Hypermotive for my products.

Finished my install, about 8 hours of struggle but it was worth it. Thanks again to Jay from Hypermotive for getting the relo brackets to me so quickly. Whiteline makes an amazing product that fits excellently.

The lowering springs on the front probably took the longest, having to compress 4 springs and figuring out how to tighten the strut rod nut without an impact was a chore. The rear took almost as much time but that included realigning the rear and installing all the other goodies. I am extremely pleased with the whiteline products, they are extremely well made, and their install instructions are idiot proof. Including all of the torque specs took a lot of the scouring for info out of the equation. Once I get back from my two day track weekend I will be able to say definitively that the suspension improved and by how much.

I have already noticed that the suspension is stiffer over bumps but the car doesn't jar and the rear end doesn't deflect so I know what the rear is going to do.
