When are you going to start pulling wheels off the ground?

According to the starter at Ennis, they got off the ground during the last trip. Here's a link to the video the starter took:

Once the converter goes in there will be much more air

I just took everything out, I wanted to feel that nice old-school Caddilac ride, so that every time I hit a bump the car would launch a foot into the air and bounce for 10 days. No one rides on air like mine does!

I see this is kind of an old thread, but I thought I'd contribute anyway.

FRPP- K springs, sway bars, adj. shocks/ struts, bump stops, adj. panhard bar, GT500 front lower control arms, FR500C rear lower control arms, Boss 302S rear lca relocation brackets, Boss 302S adj. tie rod ends/ bumpsteer kit, stock Bullitt strut tower brace

Shelby- caster/ camber plates, tubular radiator support, tubular k-member w/ 1/2" engine drop, k-member support plates, a-arm brace, subframe connectors, rear shock tower brace, adj. front sway bar end links, adj. poly rear upper control arm and bracket, panhard support, panhard relocation bracket.

Steeda- X5 balljoints

Prothane- front lca bushings

Eibach- camber bolts (not installed)

Caster is 6.9, camber is -1.7, toe is 0. Rear axle weights removed.

All aspects of the handling are better. The chassis is WAY stiff, and the car feels much more solid. Pretty much all of the interior creaks and rattles are gone. Cornering is way flatter than stock, and turn in is pretty quick. The steering feels smoother and more precise/ controlled. The car actually brakes better too, as the nose dive is drastically reduced. Wheel hop is completely gone, and although I'm set up for corner carving, she pulls hella hard from a dig. I catch a lot of higher hp cars off guard with that. The ride quality is much firmer than stock, but not harsh at all. She is louder and there's more vibration, but I also have cams and long tubes, so it's whatevers. This is my daily driver, and it's totally fine.

I still need to have the rear shock tower brace welded in, so it will actually do something besides look cool in my trunk. I'd also like to switch to a set of mono tube coilovers with much higher spring rates than the FRPP K's (228#/ 199.5#).

I like the username. And that suspension setup sounds insane.

Thanks. Vaughn kills it in a 'Stang. I'm a fan.

It's is hella fun to drive now, and in corners it feels a lot smaller than it is.

Man your Bullitt looks killer. Nice job.

My suspension mods are pretty weak right now. Installed are FRPP P-Springs. Stock shocks and struts. Like the comfort for now. Just received BMR rear LCAs and Relocation brackets yesterday. Will be getting them installed as soon as possible.

I was told by Kelly at BMR for maximum traction, the bottom hole should be used. I did some research on my own as well and to me it makes sense that the bottom hole should be used to increase traction. Of course I don't have the extensive amount of mods you do so, just wondering why you are choosing the top hole?
