    I would run Mobil 93 for street use and try different mixes for racing until you hear no pinging. Probably take quite a few runs before your satisfied. Good luck.

    PLEASE ADVISE vibration in 5th gear

    Why do I only feel it in 5th gear. If it was the the d/s or u-joints wouldn't it continue vibrating when put into 4th gear. It completely stops. This sort of lead me to think it probably wasn't the d/s or joints, even though there would be an improvement with the FRPP aluminum d/s.

    Upper/Lower control arms

    Consider how much additional road noise you want to handle. Nutcase is correct about the binding issue if its a daily driver. I bought Steeda uppers for $99 cause they improved on Ford design. Thicker material w welded plate to min twisting. They have poly on axle and higher durometer rubber on...

    Shock & Strut Combo for Steeda Springs

    I think the best bang for the buck are the Tokicos. I have the non adj blues but the aluminas are resonably prices compared to Koni or Bilstien. I've never heard a bad thing about them. Also heard very good things about Monroe GP's but know nothing about them
