My hair was matted and tangled after writhing around on the ground for 10 hours. We did the CC plate install, 4-wheel coilover conversion, replaced the A-arms, replaced front sway bar, added a 4-point k-member brace, steering rack bushings, and subframe connectors. We left the steering shaft for another day. I was too whooped after day 1. Ride height after install and 500 miles.[ATTACH=full]26514[/ATTACH]Day one halfway through. [ATTACH=full]26515[/ATTACH]Magnaflow exhaust doesn't seem to fit really awesomely. I'd not been aware of this until I started the suspension work. Will be speaking with Magnaflow about this. The cat-back isn't much of an issue but the mid-pipe is hitting the passenger side frame rail and hangs really low. You can see a subframe connector in the background.[ATTACH=full]26516[/ATTACH]Rear IRS coil over with bilstein shock[ATTACH=full]26517[/ATTACH]CC plates. After 350 miles I popped the hood to inspect and found the strut shaft wasn't snugged to the spacer. It'd settled about 1.5mm. Saw a guy in the parking lot of the gas station with an electric impact working on the front end of a car behind a trailer. Asked him if I could borrow a 22mm socket and his impact for a second. Zipped the strut shaft bolts down and back on the road.[ATTACH=full]26518[/ATTACH]EBC Yellow pads on new rotors with the CO and sway bar.  [ATTACH=full]26519[/ATTACH]Those that have done CO conversions know what kind of a difference it makes. Steering is precise, oversteer is able to be induced and predicted and controlled instead of a total surprise. Wheel hop in the rear is much reduced and the rear is a lot easier to push loose in a corner. Brakes are absolute tooth chippers. Chassis rigidity is something I notice especially around driveways. One wheel or the other of the rear get unloaded and spin a bit particularly on dirt. I need to mess with the ride height a bit to make it the same on both sides, it's out about 5mm on the passenger side.One Maximum Cobra, delivered as ordered.</blockquote>
