I was expecting to have to change the lowers as well as the stock ones are pretty flimsy looking but the UCA did fix it for me. I am still running the stock Goodyears and I am not a fan of them. I think they are garbage. They are noisy and traction is terrible.

Even I can say the traction is not all that great say a 4/10 but really what is going to hold 500-550hp un-modded

I'm not too sure but if you are really easy on them there probably isn't much point in having them.

All I did was a shorty antenna and I got a template from JLT which spaced out the Shelby letters accross the trunk instead of just on the left side. One of my favorite things I did to the car actually. I also added a Clarion CD/DVD and mounted a backup camera where the trunk lock cylinder goes. Also did the Ford Racing push button start.

Ahh I see, well with how much you drive I'm sure you would get 10 years out of them.
