Springs and bushings
Eibach Pro Kit springs and urethane bushings on the LCA's. Car is solid, tight, and no clunking. No clearance problem entering the driveway. The tires do scrape on fender in an extreme turn, but I'm not making those turns at any but parking speed. Used sc300 Eibach's on my sc400, so the front may be a tiny bit lower and causing scrape. New alignment was in specs

Installed the clutch pedal bracket, clutch pedal assembly (that spring was a ***** but only took about ten minutes to get it to line up for the bolt - bench vise and railroad experience for the win!) and clutch master cylinder for my auto-to-manual conversion. I have a braided stainless clutch line for the master to slave, so I'm pretty much done with the a2m conversion now. That was the part of the project I was dreading the most. Now just have to finish changing the clutch and seals for the trans and I can bolt it back up to the GTE.
Also lined up my 12x3x31" bar-and-plate intercooler and cut the holes for the 3" pipes in the plastic front bumper mounting plates. Gave the AC pressure tank a gentle shove aft to clear the piping. Think I'm gonna run my cold-side pipes behind the headlight for ease of install, but I'm not definite yet.
