I just ordered MM non-adjustable lower control arms and Americanmuscle's SR Performance Sway Bars. I'm excited to have new stuff to put on.

Hopefully the car will handle a little better with these. Also hoping it will eliminate some front end dive under braking.

Let me tell you a little tale about 18.9" Rovos Pretoria front wheels with 275/35/18 tires. These wheels and tires stick out past the front fender between and eighth and quarter inch. If the front end dives or leans to much, they WIll rub the underside of the front fenders. It sounds awful. Doesn't happen a lot but if you get froggy in some turns on the backroads, they may bite.

However these wheels look so good that I haven't given up on making the suspension work with them. Fingers crossed I can get the front end strong enough that it holds up. If not, probably going to change wheels down the road.
