That garage…that car… sure does remind me of an old long lost friend of this forum, that lost his way.

I’d be speaking of the sterility of the place of course. You don’t happen to take your shoes off and where socks on your hands by any chance when you in there, do ya?

LMAO, my place is far from the shrine that Darren calls his garage.
Hell, I've got salamander in there every now and then!
I actually had to pull out the wife's Shelby and the riding mower to have the room to jack it up safely.
Yes, I think I need a bigger garage, haha.

It's usually much more crowded in there ...

Finally got around to getting the front end realigned this morning at my local Ford dealership after the FR M-3075-E FLCA kit installed some 3 yrs ago & OEM Bullitt springs installed a few months back (noticed that a 1/4" wide wear line appeared on the outer edge of the inner tread shoulder on both front tires.....indicating front end had excessive neg camber from the FR M-3075-E FLCA's (slightly longer from inner bushings center to center of ball joint than the '09 OEM units I replaced......will make note of this going forward for future references as I assumed that this length was std across the S197 chassis. I have the FR Caster\Camber bolts installed & had already marked cam alignments prior both installs so had set all back to alignment marks, so I figured all was in spec. Car drove fine so all was good.........NOT!). The tech told me that all else was good except camber was too far neg.......then I got chewed out for over tightening the cam bolts causing him to have to pull both front tires off & remove both calipers out the way to break them loose to set camber (so now I know my HF EarthQuake 1\2" Hi TQ Cordless Impact has no problem setting the 166+ ft-lb TQ spec for these bolts, which is what I used to tighten them then checked w\ my TQ wrench to ensure they met proper TQ specs.....hella easier than trying to get enough leverage using my TQ wrench while holding the cam bolt on alignment marks to tighten them. Yeah, I'm that well known there.)

Car now tracks straight as an arrow but is still very responsive to steering inputs so she's ready for the road now.

Did brake swap all around yesterday. 4 piston Brembos and rear calipers powder coated Illusion Spanish Fly. In the shade it’s Bronze, in direct light it’s Gold. Matching Centric black hat rotors and 104 series brake pads all around. Eibach 5mm spacers all around. Boss 302 brake lines.

Purdy....so, did you take them apart; powdercoat and rebuild them yourself or buy it that way?
