Getting ready to install Steeda tension links and roll center correction arms.

So what the hell are these? I just looked at Steeda's website and don't see them anywhere.

RIP - You will be missed

They look like front suspension links for an S550, where it takes both lateral links and tension links to create what's basically virtual control arms.

As far as I know, the only efforts made toward correcting the roll center height on a lowered car involve the front suspension. The arms that do not correct the roll center are the ones costing about $125-ish.

Whether the rear suspension could benefit enough by a similar sort of mod or if it's even realistically possible without costing an arm and a leg would be separate questions.

Well, the next phase is done. :) Just lowered it in my drive way. New struts/shocks, springs, bumpsteer, PH bar, PH bar brace, gt 500 mounts, and LCA relo brackets. Surprised by the ride also. Still my daily for now. She dirty right now. No judging. lolLowered.png Lowered 2.png

Installed my own tune using SCT PRP. I should have bought this when I got the car running.

What wheels are those? I need them in my life except in gunmetal.

They are rovos cape town. Their options are satin black with gloss lip, silver satin with gloss chrome lip, and these, satin bronze with gloss bronze lip. Not to say you couldn't custom finish them.

Those look totally different from the craptastic pics American Muscle uses. I never gave them a 2nd glance until I saw them on your ride.

Any reason you didn't go with HP? I thought that was the software to have for these cars.

I've been using SCT since 2006 so I'm not a hater. Just curious.

Apparently I don't know how to use those windshield repair kits worth a damn. Watched a Youtube video where a guy used 1 to repair a long ass crack. Worked great for him. Me not so much. Had to give it a shot though.

I ordered a transmission jack adapter (for my floor jack) and slide hammer puller yesterday (all with the ebay bucks I got from buying my driveshaft and a couple other things)...so now all I need to buy is a clutch kit and flywheel. Looking at the Luk "repset" and Luk flywheel because I really don't need an aftermarket clutch and the Luk set is a really good deal.
