Summit handling package

MMFF did an article a few months ago on their Recession Special Project. They installed spring/damper kit from Summit. It includes Ford Performance springs and Strange adjustable dampers, and caster/camber plates. The point is that u can adjust the dampers for street, drag, or road racing depending on ur needs. I think the kit goes for around $700. Something to consider.

4 lug rims are for hondas, do a 5 lug swap, will be much cheaper for good brakes

when you pull the parts grab everything for the brakes front and rear(spindles etc.) and also get the brackets for the rear brakes, you can modify those to work with stock length fox axles and save yourself from running wider rear axles
