Just ordered my suspension and looking forward to the results....and all for under a grand! :banana:
I will post up pics and measurements when I get done! Did I miss anything that I needed or should have gotten instead?

Where did you order the GT500 mounts from?

Tasca Ford Parts has the pair for $81.xx minus shipping...

But that's pretty much the components I was going to be ordering in the coming months (except the Tokicos)

 

[Nocturnal'14]

They are deffinetly cheaper at Tasca...but I was ordering a bunch of parts from AM so I just did it all in one shot with the 6% discount.

 

[dirtyd88]

Gotcha. Just curious.

Definitely interested to see how everything goes!

 

[Mr. Phace]

Is that 1.4" drop in the front or back, not sure if I missed it but what kind of springs are they?

 

[Nocturnal'14]

Is that 1.4" drop in the front or back, not sure if I missed it but what kind of springs are they?

1.4" front & 1.5" rear according to the details I have seen....they are "Tokico" brand springs but I am sure they are re-labeled springs from another company. They are red so I am guessing Eibach but it could really be any number of spring companies out there. Not sure if the spring rates are tokico specific, I will try calling them to find out what the spring rates are.

Phace: Whats the specs on your car...looks good!

Get yourself an upper control arm with a new mounting bracket... Worst part f the rear end imo

 

[Nocturnal'14]

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!?

 

[Nocturnal'14]

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!)

Looks good, can't beat the price. I am curious how it will ride, let us know.

 

[Nocturnal'14]

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.

 

[maniak87]

looks pretty sweet. let us know how it performs.

what do the brackets do?

 

[Nocturnal'14]

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.

 

[Ill_W1N]

Looks good!

 

[dirtyd88]

Perfect stance for me! Looks great man!

 

[PushingSpokes]

Looks good! What did you set your Tokico's at? I got mine at 5 turns counter clockwise for daily driving.

-3 Front -5 Rear....gonna try that as a starting point and adjust as needed.
Getting my new hood put on Wed, then after that Im moving onto a front brake kit!

Black Calipers or Red!? hmmmmm.....

 

[Strpperpolef150]

Does the car hook any better or worse?

 

[curemystangitis]

Nice work man. Looks great and sounds like it handles. Wish I could afford to start suspension work, but I gotta get her breathing right first.

Looks sexy!
