i know i'm going to get some flack for this, but i'm a stickler for how cars sit.

i'd like to see you either raise the rear a little, or lower the front a little. i know that the suspension is even right now and it's just a trick of the eye, but even tricks of the eye bother me. any chance you had those thoughts, too? otherwise i love it being nice and low. it's how cars are meant to sit.

Yep, I hear ya bio. I'm actually going to raise it today. When I swapped the rear springs over, I kept the adjusters all the way down. N it seems to have settled a little throughout the couple of days too, which I was surprised. But you can tell from the first pics I had taken the day of. I may rake it a little or at least take the rear n make em just on top of the fenders, no need for being that low n driving it daily rn. Just wanted to see how low it could all really go too for the time being before I made the final adjustments, I need to find the sweet spot n get an alignment lol.

i always enjoy having the front ever so slightly lower than the rear, even if it's just a touch.

Super rake it!!! Do it it will look tits!

Lol no stuper rake. But ya i like it that way too. The thing that messes with this set of rims too, is that the rear tires are smaller than they should be. They're 235 35 18, but theyre blizzaks, n they have good tread still. So that's another thing. But I just raised em 1/2-3/4 of an inch n it looks better now. I was gonna throw the tenzo's on but I want the potholes n roads to clear up a little first lol.

i'm still waiting for a little more rain and the street sweepers to come out before i get my bikes back on the road, so i know how you feel. no summer wheels for me this year, though.

Yup I hear ya, n check for vossens on clist if you want them. There has been a couple around me for sale throughout the last year or so. N since they're so expensive, people sometimes take care of em n you can snag em for pretty cheap compared to new.

Got off work early today n worked on the car a bit. I found some zzp polished dog bones off Facebook, n put my zzpoop wires on. No misfires so far lol. These are the 10.5s tho so I heard these were best n revised.

I went to Lowes today no luck finding that aluminum bar.

Ya, usually if it's not on the website, it isn't there. I bought this here, http://www.ebay.com/itm/360698804471...84.m1497.l2649

or this would prob be enough, but for 2-3 more bucks, you get another 2"x12" with the first one.

You need to paint the pieces that attach to the core support the same color as your blower, stb and cross braces so it ties it all together. They look out of place being black.

All of those are gunmetal like my blower, just the angles are showing em kinda black. The cross braces, strut bar, n fuse box are all gunmetal. Lol. They just aren't a solid piece n rounded so probably reflects more.

I think he means these

haha gotcha, now that I reread it, it makes sense.
reguardless, everything needs repainting.

Thanks blown....I was in class and trying to type fast. I'm still not sure if you could route the ic hoses differently, I'm not a big fan of seeing bright green hoses under the hood. They look out of place, but I drive a cavalier so my opinions are invalid.

Carry on.

Eventually I will be routing the hoses different like you said, I think I'm gonna go from the back n up around the fuse box. I seen one like that before n it looked good. Also I have red hose for it now, but may go with black, what color you think? I also don't really wanna put em by the coil packs cuz it seems like a cluster fvck there already lol.

Dem tips.

Dat lows.

yes.

black

I love those hoses i think they look sick yout engine bay puts a lot of ideas in my head haha
