Looks like you have it covered. Should be able to dial the suspension in nice with all the adj. parts. How much boost do you plan on running?

make sure you have all the spacers in the right spot on the brackets.

for belt lenght, you want the tensioner almost topped out, if you top it out completely, it will snap belts

thanks to beefcake for the deal on the darkstars! great guy to deal with and talk to. new belt is on. seems one the of the lower bolts thats holds the headunit wasnt tight possibly allowing enough movement for the belt to eat a rib. we will see in the next few days when we start wot tuning. for now all i can say is that bringing this up on the 2step at 5k sounded gnarly!

Who is tuning your car? Are you running at Gateway next week? If so, what day? Shoot me a PM if you like, I go over and watch from time to time.

15x10 wheels with 28x10.5 stiff wall et drag slicks. car is at midcoast performance in st charles(right by fastlane) where i work and kurt borton is going to tune it. i have to wait for an updated blower bracket from vortech though now since mine was eating belts. so it will be another week or so.
