Had the suspension installed today and car re-aligned, noticable difference during acceleration and stopping with the car staying much more level, not dipping wildly during heavy braking or mildly hard cornering (stock front and no rear sway at this time). I took back roads home in order to dodge the rush hour traffic and to run a couple curvy stretches of road I know. I entered the curves cautiously at about 10mph over the suggested speed and came out of the corner an additional 10-15 mph faster than entering as I accelerated through the corners with the car feeling confidently planted. Nice thing it's also a comfortable ride I really didn't notice and discernable change in the seat of my pants as far as comfort was concerned over the stock setup. Really the best of both worlds with the increased handling and keeping a comfortable ride. I have before Pics, need to take the afters weather permitting and will post when I get them.

Thanks again to Steve at Tousley I now own an SVT Spoiler and it looks as though both the spoiler and my FS lip will be painted next weekend. Me happy boy! :D
