Default New pretty parts.
I've been collecting parts over the winter and today I through some of it on. I'll finish up tomorrow.

-UMI F&R sway bars
-UMI on-car adjustable LCAs
-UMI on-car adjustable panhard bar
-Koni double adjustable shocks- used
-Strano springs already put on the car
-C6Z06 deep dish wheels 18x8.5 & 10.5
-315/30/18 Toyo R888s... wide tires!
-Kinetic Drilled & slotted rotors with Evolution pads from Brakemotive!
-I also bought myself a used set of WS6 wheels just because I LOVE how they look. They came with tires with 40% tread. Paid 250. Awesome deal I think!

Not pictures is my new exhaust system...
-Flowmaster merge 3-3.5
-DMH 3.5" electric cutout
-Hooker catback
-Corsa clones

I'll post more pics tomorrow when it's all installed. I'll post another set of pics probably Wednesday of the new wheels and tires on the car.

Curious why you are going to run r-comps on the back versus drag radials?

I can't take any turns like I want to with a drag radial. Not doing a whole lot of drag racing this year so I went with this tire. Not a lot of companies make a nice 315/30/18 tire so I went with these for this summer. I hear a lot of good things about them over on the cobra forums.

Its in the first post

Nice setup, I wish someone local to me had konis so I could feel how it rides, but you should be happy with the setup
