Too noisy for the street, lol, that's funny considering how loud my 3" exhaust is. I occasionally hear clicks from the heim joints in the adjustable rear sway bar, but not often. Presently I'm installing another upgraded front suspension. ReSpeed's big brake kit, camber plates, Mazda Comp's adjustable LCAs and tension rods, along with 15X9 front wheels. Later this year when I install the matching big brake kit for the rear, the only upgrades left that I can do are the pan hard bar, tri-link and coil overs.

The entire set up is a bit extreme for basically a street car, but then so is the widebody kit. It's all in good fun to build the car up. Once this is all done, it will eventually receive a TII swap. With the planned TII swap and and a hp target of 350-400, I'm undecided on what eventual mods the rear end and suspension will get. I plan on running the stock lsd GSL rear end for a bit, but if I tear it up at the drag strip, then I will be time to build an 8.8 and decide if I want a drag set up or compromise with a dual drag and cornering/road race set up. That should be an interesting project in itself.

Seems like the older I get, the more extreme the toy becomes, and people wonder why I refuse to grow up.

Cool

Amen brother, I turn 44 in 2 days and I can't get enough of the slideways in my car. -se 13b in the my shop and -se rear end in the very close future. Panhard and s4 steering rack on the shortlist. I like Montana Kids panhard setup myself.
Kid has skillz.
