Broke down with the sales going on and bought myself an early Christmas present. Already done with the shopping for the wife and daughter so figured why not. And I already have lca's and brackets, just need to decide on shocks/struts.

I'm still doing a little research on it, don't know if I want to switch to coilovers or not. Looks like plenty of guys are getting reasonable 60's with good shocks/struts.

I'm sure you've posted it somewhere before but what are the 60 ft times with that setup? And IIRC, you have 4.10's right?

Luke, Yes on the 4.10s. My car is an auto with a stock converter so my 60ft isn't what it could be compared to a manual but my best is a 1.77 in good weather this year

That's strong for an auto with a stock converter! Although, with 4.10s and a 4.17 1st gear, that's also a lot of mechanical leverage. Just curious, what tire is that? I'm assuming a 275/60 radial.

So when's the converter coming? I keep holding myself back from buying a 4C, the bug to go faster is an expensive bitch.

Longtubes and Driveshaft hopefully within a month and then a converter with around 4200 stall hopefully during the summer sometime. Have a friend who had gone 11.71 (just a hair slower than me with similar setup) and just installed a 5C (4200 stall) and went down to 11.15 instantly with a few more tweaks to the tune

I've considered the 5C as well, when the time comes I'll give him a call and get his recommendation. I picked up a D/S on an SVT group buy, it's actually getting sent back soon. Driving down the road I got a horrible vibration and it got so bad that even riding the brake the car would shake. Had to put the stock shaft back in til they check it out and send me a replacement.

BMR SP009 springs
GT500 strut mounts
Eibach 1° camber bolts

Next on the list will be LCAs or relo brackets.
