On another note, I have since turned my car down close to stock and sold the old parts. Alot of reasons made me get rid of the old stuff and plan for the new and better.

the x2c upper and lower control arms suck. The upper control arms have to much play in them and you can literally twist the control arms when you tighten them. The polyurethane bushings are noisy and garbage.

My FRPP trac-lok got noisy as hell and sometimes was a one wheel bandit only after a day at the track.

The moser axles were strong, but the driver side axle was sized wrong and caused my caliper to scrape the rotor and grinding on the caliper and caliper bracket was required on that side

Most of the bolt ons didn't amount to much hp at all. I gained 26-30 rwhp from that and with the price of all the bolt ons added up wasn't worth it.

The skinny 26inch et streets i ran on, could barely hold my car. And with the ****ty prepped track i ran on, i needed wider.
