Ya if you are using stock cams then the sto k springs will be good. If you are going to use an aggressive cam then upgrade the springs.

I'll probably end up upgrading them. Cost adds up quick even when doing a budget build haha.

I had a chance after work to fab up a bit of my intake adaptor, so far so good, i still have a bit of engineering to do to make it more usable and to clear the oil filter.

Considering the price of some of the big brake kits for the foci or Mazda 3, I may start making them on request. Depending on bolt pattern and rotor size choice.

Got my prototype caliper brackets done. 1" thick cast aluminum. Thicker than the knuckles the calipers came from, should be strong plenty.

After a 34 day work week and a 4 day weekend, I have some time off to at least fit the rear end and get more swap parts made up.
I got a pair of solid IRS subframe mounts made:
Made up a block go adapt an external slave cylinder to the t5 bellhousing:
