I've done a fair amount of searching but with working 80+ hours a week and my other commitments I don't have a large amount of time to be weeding through info. I know my way around cars fairly well but there are always the small details that you need to learn, job-by-job car-by-car and I'd like to check into a few things before I take time off work to get my car up again. This wave of modifications are is where I am most clueless. I have a very limited knowledge of suspension. My car is an 87 Turbo II
Here is the current list of parts to be installed:
RB springs
KYB AGX struts
RB swaybars
shortshifter/bushings/shifterspring
koyo rad
blackmagic efan
haltech e6x (possibly stupid to try on my own I know, but I've the faith that if I get stuck I can figure it out with a little help)
front/rear strut bars
I'd like to install an engine brace but i'm not sure where you guys are getting them
diff and tranny competition mounts
wheel bearings
mustang gt 17x8s
battery relocation
a few gauges

Any bits of experienced wisdom would be greatly appreciated but besides what me volunteered my questions are thus:

Due to the ecu I'll have to tap a larger sensor hole in the radiator correct?

With a 1" drop and the 17x8s I would think I would wind up with a different camber value. Should I buy a set of camber plates or would that be handled with alignment at the wheel shop? What are the advantages of the pillowball mounts being sold on corksport? Any clarification or suggestion about suspension would be great.

I have an fd alternator, what issues (if any) will this cause when I wire up the e6x?

I've heard replacing the wheel bearings is a real bear. I've read a how to on it, any bits of wisdom from the pros?

Of the 4 solenoids attatched to the block itself one of mine broke previously. This seems to have been countered by the vacuum lines from the broken solenoid being run through an adjacent free solenoid (from emissions deletion) and the harness has been swapped as well. I'd assume this has no real ill affects since the car has been running but in any case I'd like to hear of any options that you guys have done. What are you guys doing with your stock solenoids: moving them, replacing them, or leaving them be?

Any other tips about the parts i've mentioned or even things not mentioned (since there is much more to be installed on this car after this phase) I'd love to hear your advice. I'm sorry for placing the burden on ya'll, but what takes me hours to find and longer to understand you can recite off the top of your head, and if you're anything like me... you want to talk about cars as much as you can anyways. Thanks.

Are you asking if you have to have a bigger hole for the temp sensor? IIRC, the haltech system uses a GM style sensor, why would mount it in the radiator though? Put it before the thermostat, on the neck leading to the upper radiator hose from the water pump.

Yes, your camber will change. If the camber isn't too out of spec from the drop, you won't need any plates or kits, just an alignment.

You won't have issues with the FD alternator, as long as you do the swap properly.

As for the wheel bearing, follow the FSM, and be patient!
