Make sure you do the brake master brace as well,makes a big difference in braking.
Simple 5 minute install.

Second video is a little shaky but you'll get the idea.

I used the adjustable rear stabilizer bar which may serve you well switching from road to track. if your shocks are gettin on in years maybe look at some adjustable koni shocks. the primo ones are expensive though. the ones you have are good for the f body at a reasonable price. you will see when you get on stano site.

Installed the Strano MC brace this morning before flushing the brake fluid and loading her up with ATE super blue. Brakes feel fantastic!

if you dont already have them, put the stainless braided brake lines on at the calipers and you'll have it all except the upgrade on the calipers and rotors to a larger size.

What size are the rotors and calipers on an SS? These rotors are drilled and slotted and the calipers are quite large. Check out the pic of the front wheel setup (ignore the fact the calipers need to be repainted)

They feel more than adequate for now. I had to reschedule my track day unfortunately so I won't get to really test them until August. I'm changing out the 160 degree thermostat this weekend and planning to enjoy every bit of this thing over the summer.
