Wow, this is great to see. You are moving fast! Not criticizing but can I ask why you chose to leave the suspension stock instead of upgrading? Seems like the perfect time and you are adding more hp! Just curious, not trying to rag on you. You've done awesome work!

I don't have a good answer. Just to keep it simple for now, perhaps. My main goal is to get the car back on the road in good condition. Suspension will probably be the first thing I will change once everything is together.

You could always "hitch" a ride in a friend's/car-club member's car with the upgraded rear suspension to see/feel the difference, and whether it needs to be on your Mods-To-Do list.

I don't have any plans for those gears yet. As long as I'm happy with the 3:70's I'll probably get rid of them. I'm not one to keep things I don't need or am not using laying around.
