    looks like you spent enough cash to have earned it.. so, why just brag with pictures when you can gloat a little too?

    How's it drive and handle now? Details.. details.

    The steering response is unbelievable with the new rack n pinion, No more pulling to the right with the new 11 in front disk brakes, and it stops on a dime. The ride is a little stiff but I'm going to adjust the shocks a click or two tomorrow. I'm extremely happy. Love the R&C 107 kit. The alignment guy at the Ford dealer was very impressed with it quality of the kit. And said I did a good job aligning it. The thrust angle between the front and rear is only .01 deg

    It's a R&C-107 without the 2 in drop spindles. I have the wheel well height set to 26.75 in. What kind of photos do you want?

    Very nice. I can see that the engine is running in one pic lol.. I would consider a shroud or elect fan when the green starts to grow back in the wallet.

    so have you driven it much yet? Am wondering about the comparison to the stock suspension, how it handles the bumps in the road? I have a cavalier rack on all my junk, and the cars turn and go down the road excellent, but the factory control arms and struts leave a lot to be desired, so was it worth the moolah?
