I have a plan, and I feel pretty good about it.

[QUOTE="Bad Company, post: 15922992, member: 141815"] Stay away from the Kenny Brown K-Member and front control arms. They're junk in my opinion as the front K-Member is known to bend under hard braking. I had the Kenny Brown parts and removed them to reinstall the stock pieces after seeing a campaigned American Iron car fold up the Kenny Brown parts. I installed the Maximum Motorsports K-Member recently with the stock front control arms and bushings. I installed BMR Adjustable Motor Mounts to lower the engine 1/2". These surprisingly didn't add a lot of NVH from the engine. In fact I have the solid aluminum pieces from BMR to make a solid mount and if the bushing of the current mounts show any degradation from heat they'll go in place of the poly. My car is very similar to your build list CorteX Racing Watts Link, Torque Arm, Relocation Brackets with the lower control arms in the rear with all spherical bearings, Ford M-5300-L springs, stock Bilstein adjustable dampers, MM Camber Caster plates, MM Bump Steer kit, Eibach adjustable front sway bar, stock rear sway bar. I've thought about going with the FRPP bushing kit for the front control arms, but haven't made up my mind about this yet. The car handles with a very light feel and no understeer with this combo of parts. The MM K-Member made a significant difference in how light the car feels compared to the stock one. I don't think you'll be disappointed with this combo [/QUOTE]
