Looking forward to that also. Looks like, bit by bit, everything is coming together.

Yes, I'm taking it slow. Too little time for things like the car. I just got about a dozen vinyl samples for the wood wrapping I want to do while I have everything apart for the audio overhaul. Thinking black semi-glossy fiber looks best for the black interior. At first I wanted to go with some brushed metal in silver or gunmetal. But it looks a bit fake. Still considering the brushed titanium one.

Ok, I adjusted the stiffness on the fronts. It was turned all the way so I turned it all other way. Took it for a test drive and it feels much better. Still stiff but not much more then it was with the stock suspension. The rear I believe is on the softest setting. So far I'm a happy camper. the car also looks much better from the front lowered like this. Much more aggressive

Looks really good dude, going to be a nice build when you're all done.

Looks amazing. Have you measured what your gap is from hub to fender? The back looks dumped

PS, are you on 18's or 19s?

cool thanks, I know the pre measurements but did not measure the after, I will try to measure today if I remember and post it here.

The wheels are

Monarch EURO 63 RS
19x8.5 32mm offset - 3mm spacers = 29mm
19x9.5 35mm offset

tires

225/35/19 Toyo FZ4
255/35/19 Bridgestone Potenza RE050

I'm waiting on 10mm spacers for the rear. Should be here any day. If it fits the rear will look much better from the sides.
