Great! Waiting on the pics. Glad to see someone moddin' their car. No, I didn't make it to the Huntsville show. Had to work Sunday so I took the family out Sat. for Mother's day. I'm definately going to H'ville next year. I'm probably going to be in P'cola In July for the Blue Angel's (I think the 10th) maybe you could bring the 'stang over and we could have a cold one

it puts more weight back on the rear tires ,,when you lower the car the rear end is pushed up ,so the relocation brackets put the rear lower control arms back to stock level.

Good to know!!! I haven't even tried a hard launch since I put the 285's on the rear. Guess I'll wait until I finish my suspension mods.
