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 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...

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.
