Sorry no pics but not much physical difference.
Been driving with the new setup for about 3 weeks steady now. Rides ok,not much difference in handling cause i went with the "street" springs but i have taken about 75 pounds right off the nose of the car with the suspension and battery change.

Granatelli Motorsports tubular k-member,tubular a-arms,poly bushings,coil overs with 300lb springs

Steeda caster/camber plates

Double adjustable rear upper control arms,poly bushed

Odyssey PC680 battery with homemade mount

Soon to go in:some racing buckets,just to see if i can stand them for day to day use.

My only issue is the rear control arms are adjusted slightly to lower the pinion angle from where it was(which is good cause it was basically level before) but now i have a bit of vibration under light acceleration. I know that's a driveshaft angle issue but i've been living with it because i wanted to see if my traction was better than last year. As far as i can tell it's not any better. I don't have a practical way to lift the car up,make it level,and keep the suspension loaded,in my garage,so i can check the driveshaft angle. I'd be curious if anybody has any thoughts,like have i gone to far down? or maybe i've gone the wrong way but with the car lowered i know the p/a was already to high.

Meh,the fun of adjustable suspension. Maybe it's just time to invest in some new rear tires.She will spin the tires easily from a roll in second gear,without nitrous.

Nice setup. Hopefully it will help you pick up a tenth or two at the track .
