New To Me 4.6is

Update 4/18/23
So I've had a bit of time getting some of the parts installed. After installing the square rear 87's it was time to move on from lowering springs w/ Bilsteins to coilovers.

I installed KW Vw coilovers and WOW! I cannot believe how wonderful this system is. The spring rates are PERFECT for this truck and soaking up bumps and road imperfections is a night and day difference. I install superpro adjustable sway bar end links as well. The truck is much, much lower than it was before. Adjustment wise, the front still has 1/3 room to go down and the rear still has 1/2. No riding bump stops at a very low ride height. I have some bump steer to deal with but more than likely is just adjusting the end links & alignment. I have put coilovers on my past 5 cars (Audi S6, F80 m3, S2000, Golf R, E90 m3) and I can confidently say this was the largest difference for the better I have felt. At this same time I installed the new OEM front LeMans fender flares to help with the poke of the massive front wheels.

I installed the dinan mufflers that I have had sitting around but didn't have time to install the new tips for them so that will be in the next few weeks.

I was able to score something I have been searching for for a while now. A Full Mtex interior popped up in Long Island so I ran out there to grab it. I have an upholstery shop that my company deals with who will pick it up, clean it up, and recondition some of the wear to the bolsters.

I think I have collected everything I really wanted for this truck to make it perfect. Now I just need to finish installing it all & getting some of the not so fun maintenance things dealt with. For those of you that go to Mpact at Pocono raceway, my shop is the headline sponsor there & my truck, as with years past is always hidden behind the booth as our support vehicle. I'm excited for everything to be complete before the event.

I'll post some pictures once it's all cleaned up, the rain this weekend and driving to Long island and CT dirtied it up a bit.
