Got my package from Steve last week and after a bunch of searching for the correct tools (mine are gone ? !! The D does that sometimes) rentals that were over priced and a Friend with a shop . I elected for the "installed by the friend" .
Nothing all that fancy but a decidedly big improvement in ride and looks !
06+ FRPP suspension and alignment .

Thanks for the comments. :) Nope, it was the whole kit - awesome dealio from Steve ! Yes the handling is a night and day difference from stock (*even* at the speeds I drive...but I did get a bit nostalgic on the 85 mp.:shock:..err 45 mph cloverleaf :shock: )Stuck in the groove like a slot car. Had the local Goodyear set the front toe to zero°+/- .001!! and rear toe to .12° total - brought the camber frt/rear to minimum oe specs with no additional tweaking .
Yup ,06+ FRPP suspension is a good'n !

I have been thinkin about that for mine but I am worried about tire clearance with my RS wheels
but from the pics u posted it looks like I will have enough room for the wheels to fit without rubbin.

Miles , There is about an 1.25" wheel gap in the front / 1.5" gap in the rear.that is with 15's though. The RS wheels , are they 18's ? 17's will fit without a doubt.Tire selection would be more of an issue I think.

As for whats next? I'm thinking lightweight wheels/tires and a decent rear sway set up.
When the air filter box begins to plug up , I'll have a FocusSport cai ready. I know it's not a fuel economy friendly mod - but it is more wallet friendly- I think I can make it work for mpg's too. Best of both worlds , kinda.
