I have quite a list of parts to install before spring, all of them sitting in my office. So far I have 18" SSR GT1s , M7 springs (installed) , Alta adjustable control arms and end links, Wilwood 12.5 front and rear brake kits, Invidia Exhaust, and ????? I am going to re-install my back seats and sell my rear-seat delete kit.So I have one un-mod on the list.
I am thinking I should go for a sway bar since I will have the back end appart. Anything else I should consider adding to the list? I do all of my own installs so the time is on me.. I would like some input because I hate saying later on "I should have done....."

 

A rear sway bar would be my advice to you.

 

Why are you removing/selling the rear set delete?

 

Wilwood "rear" ?
The Alta rear control arms are a good thing, if you are doing all four.
The drop links are not really nesasary unless you have adjustable coilovers.
Yea, get a good rear bar. It should have been your first suspension mod anyway.
Have you done the pulley yet? This is a must, then a good CAI.

 

I had removed the rear seats the day I picked up my car and built a nice two door platform. I rmoved this setup and put the back seats in when I got my Sport Trac suv . Then I removed my rear seat again and installed rear seat delete panel . Well I miss the seats again and this set-up is not nearly as nice as my old hinged door set-up. Going to marketplace soon

 

My car is a JCW and I have an Alta CAI in the car along with some other stuff. The Wilwood rear is the TCE setup with Wilwood hats, slotted and cross drilled rotors and re-location brackets. What bar would you recommend for this set-up? I am also considering going with coilovers....

 

Ok, figured it was the TCE rear kit, which actually is nothing Wilwood. Good setup.
At the moment I believe that the Bilstien PSS9s are the best street setup.
Personally I feel that the H-sport rear comp bar is the best.

I know see your mods listed.

 

The hats are Wilwood and the rotors used in my set up are not the ones listed on his site.I will pm you the details if you like, we did something new lets say

 

Track maybe, certainly not street unless you like a hard ride. No matter how adjustable coilovers are, it's an either/or proposition. Either cornering or ride quality (which may not ever even be a good as standard). Of course, most people won't spend the money it they can't see the result, as in a lowered car. That's too bad for them 'cause they're missing out. Now if you're talking track cars, that's a bit different.

 

I've heard from a number of sources that the PSS9 set-up is incredibly comfortable - sources I trust - Onasled is one. A great deal of comfort, I suspect, comes from the progressive rate springs. FYI

 

Where can I find these? I wouldn't mind looking into them.

I think that depends on how you have them set up. Great shocks no doubt, and if lowering is just something you're compelled to do, then that or the Koni coilover are 2 great choices. How unfortunate though, that once mounted, you can't see them anymore.

At some point, some smart MINI spring manufacturer is going to make a lowering spring specifically for the FSDs and clean up (one that lowers to the maximum capable and works with the dampening rates). M7, Alta, here's your opportunity...

 

Rear sway bar and adjustable control arms.

 

I ordered a Hsport rear bar last night from Webb motorsports (also a Pilo coil and Nology wires due to free shipping offer this weekend) and I have the adjustable control arms. I hope this rounds out my mods.....for now. I am going to need an install crew for this mod day. Thanks for your help everyone.
