I pulled the trigger on some suspension and handling upgrades. I figured my car makes pretty decent power, now its time to do my due diligence by purchasing parts to manage and handle that power more effectively.
I ended up purchasing the following upgrades to improve handling and performance:
Pedders Street XA Package
Pfadt Rear Control Arms (Trailing Arms & Toe Rods)
Nitto NT05r 285 18 inch Drag Radials
G8 ready for surgery...

Drag Radials ready to be mounted:

Nothing like brand new rubbers!

The Pedders Street XA kit has not arrived yet, but I'll be expecting that early next week. I plan on installing the Pfadt arms tonight in the garage, and meanwhile the Tires are already at Discount Tire getting mounted on my stock 18 inch OEM wheels.
Very excited to see how this boat handles after these much needed upgrades!
