Interesting.... *grabs popcorn, pulls up a chair*

Interesting choice of parts Ken, sadly some of those are verboten in the AWD application I have (The X brace for one)

Already new rotors and pads? :blink: were the stockers cooked already? Unless you're already figuring that the stockers will not handle what you have planned for the car :D

Well Ken, you don't waste any time or money. You and Dan are going to be neck and neck in the modding race. What are you going to do for reverse lights? You are still coming out on Mondays right? I am going to have to check this out.

Well I've got my first track day coming up in April and I wanted to at least get all the mechanical mods done before then ... and brakes - meh, I'm uber picky and I've got the slightest bit of vibration right now and so decided to go ahead and change them up. I'm considering two options for the reverse lights - install a second bulb in the existing fixture (it's quite big) or installing new lamps as part of the trailer hitch.

LOL hard to call it a race - - - Daniel's car and mine couldn't be much more different considering they're both Fusions - I'm really looking forward to seeing his new rims and the body kit. I plan on coming out to as many Monday nights as I can, so Fusionation will be well represented.

According to Eibach the drop is 1.6 / 1.6 and Nik I'm doing 4 BMW track events and 1 SVTOA this year - all 5 are on the long track at Mosport.

Well the installation marathon went as planned today - - went to the shop at 8 this morning and left at 2:30 ... turned out excellent - sounds and handles exactly the way I wanted it to - lots of research and planning FTW ... here's what went on:

New Eibach lowering springs, new Ford sport struts, EBC rotors and Green Stuff pads, F2 s.s. flex lines, Steeda rear sway bar (3 times the thickness of the stock!!) Magnaflow resonator, muffler and tip, Steeda throttle body spacer, Steeda strut tower brace, and Steeda x-brace, Steeda 91 octane tune for X-Cal2 for exhaust and t.b. spacer.
