Finally received all parts ordered from SC&C ( 2.5 months, not recommended at all, should of just used Summit Racing) and got the front end put together and aligned. It consists of SPC uppers and lwrs, ATS spindles, DSE springs, Baer brakes, and VariShocks. The parts are great, vendor not so much.

Few things on making this stuff fit.
- SPC lwrs have a bolt in spring seat, you will have to cut the spring to index in the subframe and lwr control arm.
- The SPC adjustable ride height kit is $80 and the holes do not match the control arm. Lame.
-Flipping the leading arm on the upper control arms for more wheel clearance requires some grinding to the mounts.
-Tru Turn steering arms need to be spaced 3/8" from the spindle, and the lwr corner of the caliper needed to be rounded off for clearance. This is only necessary with this type of caliper, 6 pots would be narrower.
-5 inch adjusters are needed to get 5.5 degrees of caster on the leading arms of the upper control arms.

Its also worth mentioning that Baer brakes are without a doubt a top shelf operation. The calipers showed up blank, asked Baer about it and they sent a shipping label immediately. Logos machined and custom coated in about a week. Seriously the best customer service I have dealt with this entire build.

Also received the new hood from Anvil. The fit is a little better, but still has a noticeable hill in it. Ended up installing Aerocatches to flatten it out. I think it turned out OK.

Final upgrades were a Dynotech drive shaft and some LED head lights. The lights work incredibly well. That is it for now.

They are made by Keep it Clean Wiring.Bought from Summit Racing. They are inexpensive and probably not too durable, but we will see.
