Nice Speed3 Ian. Looks like your installing mods along the same lines as I did. Yes, the car handles like it's on rails w/ the full suspension kit and extra 6" of width the widebody allows for. Future plans are to maybe install a set of coilovers instead of just the COBB springs. Just a bit too much squat for me and already hard to keep the power on the ground. Mad props for your Speed 5*****s
