Just ordered the rest of my suspension parts and looking forward to the results....and all for under a grand!

I think im gonna have to go with a different strut mount....even if I install the GT500 mounts "arrows in" I think Im gonna be off on the camber. These springs are roughly the same as the K-springs, and I have never heard of anyone installing k's without needing camber adjustment!

 

How on earth do you add them to your shopping cart??? I'm trying to order on my phone and it's def not letting me.

 

Fml...out of stock. New price is 1400 when they are back in stock. You got a good deal man!

 

WOW.....Just to think, I was hours away from a Koni STR.t / Ultralite Setup instead. Ready to buy and Timing is everything I guess!?

 

Yep. They said they were sitting on overstock they needed to clear out, that's why the price was so low. They also said something about the new batch being 2011+ specific?

 

Just got off the phone with Tokico and they told me the following:

Front spring is Linear at 240lbs (Which I thought was pretty high!?)
Rear spring is progressive but the only number he had was 200 so I am not sure if that is the lower number range (Im guessing so) or the higher number!?

 

Im getting ready to install FRPP K springs/struts with GT 500 mounts pointed in this weekend .. Ive heard the same thing it will only buy you .5 camber back. If it gets within 1-1.5 negative camber...thinking I can live with that. Regardless Ill post up on findings from getting it aligned

 

Well it all showed up today:
Great looking setup too I think!



(What's not in the picture is my Cervinis CobraR hood...it's at the paint show getting sprayed!)

 

Got the rear stuff installed...went well. Had a chance to get some suspension parts WEIGHTs while I was at it:



The rest is going on tomorrow Morn.

 

All done...front & rear installed. Went well, I decided to install the strut mounts with the Arrows IN to gain back some of the camber. I get it aligned on Tuesday, so I will report back what the results are.

Car drives great, like its on Rails LOL! Very solid but not harsh....I have the struts set at -3 front & -5 rear. I will adjust it once I see how it rides more.

 

Looking sharp man, curious to what you end up with -camber. As for the weight savings during the suspension mods, Id say the front strut bar swap was the most significant followed by the LCA.

 

what STB do you have?
Since I was not replacing that I forgot to weigh that piece.....what did yours weigh?

 

I went with the Steeda high rise double bar. The oem weighs approx 9 lbs, but I should of used the fish scale like you did. Didnt weigh the Steeda bar or the billet LCA but its noticably lighter.

 

Thanks for posting the weights. Stance looks good.

 

A little upset about the alignment shop.....they didnt give me a printout. The guy said, "I THINK your camber was at like 1.5...we used an old school gauge instead of a machine" and this was a FORD dealer!!
I think the front has settled a little in the last few days! Im gonna install my Urethane Rear Isolators and re measure too!

Anyways...here is what the measurements are:

 

Looks great!
