Well I finally got the the new Bat Handling Kit installed in the ride. Gives it about a 1 inche drop and it may go lower in about a weeks time till they settle. It really makes the tour look alot better and got rid of the problem I was having of to much wheel spin in 1st gear. Handling is also greatly improved in the turns and over all I am very satisfied with them. I will post some pics soon when I wash up the tour really well.

I'm thinking about getting the Euro struts as well when it comes time. I would get the euro handling kit, except I don't the drop. I get into enough trouble as it is; another 1" and my skirts will end up getting knocked off on day.
I'd be interested in the effects of new suspension hardware though...

I plan on getting the BAT kit at the end of the month (Have to get HMS' DMD installed first  ) Sounds like the BAT setup works well for you......By the way does anyone go to the River City (Marion) dragstrip much?

I got them installed at Pro-tech where I got a very good deal of $185.00 where it had pretty much had taken them all day to put them on because they had trouble getting the stock springs off. But now I can't really appreciate them because my car is not turning on correctly. I think it is the spark plugs or wires because sometimes when i try to turn it on it makes a loud screeching noise and the car won't turn on. Any ideas anybody? Does anybody know from experince a good reliable plug? Thanxs everyone.

Sequin it is....SVTLAY, I think I met you...Were you there two friday's ago, when they had the Import Shootout. If so I'm the guy with the black CSVT that stop to say "Hi".
Tomorrow is Mustang vs. Camaro night. Are you going?

A loud "Screeching" sound.....Might be your starter grinding on the flywheel....If so, it could be a symptom of a couple of things (i.e. battery going dead/not charging, starter mounting bolts lose)
If you get a chance, get under the car, grab the starter and see if it moves. If so, the torque of the starter spinning my be knocking it off alignment with the flywheel....I'm no expert, but I've had it happen to me before.

Ya that was me at the track the other day when they had that import shoot out. Me and my friend almost won it. This friday I won't be able to go (stupid work) but my friends may go. MY friend with the silver SVT and a mustang GT running Nas. Also thanks for the tips and will check the starter. But seeing that I don't know all that much about cars were exactly is it?
