Default My revamped, overhauled, bulletproof front end

Just got done installing all my new front end parts today. It went smooth and Fastbrakes makes one hell of a kit. The fitment is perfect and its good high quality ****! Now I need an alignment from hell.

List of mods:
Polyurethane LCA bushings
Omni 12k coilovers
New Honda upper arms
New lower ball joints
Fastbrakes drag kit

on to the pics

Looks good. No tie rod assistance from the front?

the wilwoods come with the fastbrakes kit. all fastbrakes does is make a bracket to mount the caliper and stainless lines.

worry about getting your car moving first, then worry about stopping it.

yeah but you'll need a wheel spacer. i have 13" welds and i checked the clearance and the wheel just barely nicks the top corner of the caliper.
