The first Spring drive is always fun. I love the stance and wheel. Nice power and awesome torque!

How does the car feel? I'm dropping mine off Friday, doing FTBR full kit, shocks struts, springs, rack bushings, steering shaft, and CC platesFTBR kit installed along with their deluxe bumpsteer kit
Pinion seal replaced
Fuel filter
MM steering rack bushings
Got her home
"Installed" new trunk lid struts. Took all of about 12 seconds and boy is she snug now
Still gotta swap out the Tri-ax for a new MGW. That said, the Steeda piece will be up for grabs if anyone's interested. I leave this afternoon, but will be back early next week.
Need new rear skins, alignment, and typical spring/summer prep and she'll be ready to terrorize the streets again.

That's good to hear. I also am going with the b8s and race springs, subframe connectors, and sway bars.I didn't really get a chance to put her through her paces due to traffic and cold pavement. I will say, however, that the rear definitely has a more solid feel both in general and when going over bumps. It almost reminds me of my RS in normal mode; maybe not quite as firm, but still sharp and confidence inspiring. I already had race springs, CC plates, and B8s so you'll likely feel an even greater difference doing it all at one time. I added the beefier front diff brace as well. I can't tell if it's my imagination or what but I feel like the rear fender gap is reduced slightly. Maybe it's fantasy since the car's been under a cover for months. Maybe it really does sit a touch lower. Either way, it looks perfect in my opinion.
I do have a fair amount more gear whine from the trans and/or diff than I had before. Partially what finally nudged me to swap out the Tri-ax for an MGW. I've also got a bunch of leftover Dynamat that I plan to stick down in there to see if I can quiet her down a tad. If not, well, race car problems. lol
The steering is certainly tighter. Not razor sharp like modern electric steering in a performance car, but the bushings removed some of the slop in the wheel; it seems to react sooner. Once the weather improves and I can throw her around a bit I'm sure I'll have more to report. I've never had a wheel hop issue, but I'm interested to see how she hangs on in a straight line now.
Not today but yesterday; checked fluids, washed and brought her out of hibernation for her first drive. Went to pick up the kiddo from daycare, apparently she went nuts when she heard me parking. Forgot how loud my Cobra was, I missed driving this thing lol.
