Parts are starting to roll in ... :-)
A few days ago I ordered new Koni Sport (yellow) adjustable struts/shocks, GT500 mounts, Steeda Sport springs, BMR LCA relocation brackets, a J&M panhard bar, and a DSS 1-piece aluminum driveshaft.
Jay @ Hypermotive was awesome to deal with, both times I called him, first time for the Konis and the GT500 mounts, second time being for the driveshaft order (the springs, brackets, and the panhard bar are coming from American Muscle since I couldn't pass up their prices and 6% forum-discount pricing)
Can't wait for the pile o' parts to grow a little so I can make that all-important appointment to have everything installed

Similar project coming up here too. Koni STR.T, Steeda Ultra-lites, GT500 Strut Mounts, Steeda Adjustable UCA, Steeda Adjustable Panhard Bar and Brace, Whiteline LCA Relocation Brackets, UMI Rear LCA, Eibach Adjustable Camber Bolts. Now I just need this crappy Michigan weather to break so I can put it all on.

Lol. No install date set yet, but the Steeda springs arrived today, I just haven't had a chance to pick them up from the rental office where UPS left them off.
Will grab them tomorrow and if they look good I'll call my shop and set a date.
I'm hoping they can take me this Thursday ... LMAO

You must be ready to get on with it, I would be very impatient at this point knowing all those parts are just waiting to be used!!
Hope the install goes well and have fun!

So .... it turns out that I wanna do at least SOME of this stuff myself ... I have ramps and can easily procure a good floor jack.
Don't wanna do it on jack stands ... but I want to minimize how much the shop will have to do.
I think I'm definitely gonna have them do the driveshaft and the front struts/springs/mounts, but I may just be able to do the rear shocks/springs and the panhard bar myself.
Any thoughts on this?

You'll need jack stands for the rear, however it is super easy, if you don't mind getting a little dirty. The front is also very easy if you're willing to be patient. No reason you can do most of it and then get an alignment and the DS done someplace else.
