[QUOTE="2slo95fiveoh, post: 1136066, member: 8966"] UPDATE! I got a lot of small odds and ends done this afternoon. My list of 'to-dos' is getting smaller and smaller each time I work on it, the anticipation is starting to build. What I did: -When I originally installed my coilovers a few months back, I didn't screw the bottom spring perch up that much (4x4 stance FTL), not thinking about the dynamics of the springs in relation to the low ride height I want. Today I screwed them up (compressing the spring) as much as I could with my hands, but I think a spanner wrench is going to be necessary for me to get the ride height I want. I'm kind of annoyed that the Maximum Motorsports kit didn't come with one, but I can still buy one from them for $10, so perhaps I will just do that. -I used the 'zip-tie spark plug wire loom' trick on my drivers side, which I think cleans it up nicer than the regular wire loom.. regular loom: [IMG]http://i444.photobucket.com/albums/qq163/Mustang1619/Mobile%20Uploads/20130314_175532_zps21a3d00d.jpg[/IMG] Zip ties: [IMG]http://i444.photobucket.com/albums/qq163/Mustang1619/Mobile%20Uploads/20130325_174040_zpsb5ff8063.jpg[/IMG] -I continued the zip-tie kick and secured a bunch of wiring loom, connectors, etc. This is the only picture I snapped, but I did it in multiple locations on the front end: [IMG]http://i444.photobucket.com/albums/qq163/Mustang1619/Mobile%20Uploads/20130325_182242_zps1949f841.jpg[/IMG] -Then I directed my attention towards my line lock wiring.
