My Tsunami body kit is on its way and will be installed by the end of the month along with new rims and a drop once I get the cash.

This summer shall be spent driving to golf courses mostly...maybe 2/3 times a week.

What I will do is alternate between the two cars that I have...a '95 Nissan Maxima SE and an '04 ES330, such that I won't hopefully pile-up too much mileage on either (...the Maxima has 104,000+, the Lexus has less than 3,000 miles).
I don't know...is this a silly plan (?)
Anyway, back to you for now...

Cool

I hurl @ HID over 6000K. If you get projectors built for HID then you only need but 4100K... That's what creates the purple...

My goal is to save enough money to either make the jump to an A4 like Eric did, or:
1)
a) Finish this ECU piggyback I'm programming
b) Make the ACIS valve open earlier using it
2) Fix CV Joint
3) Finally get this 3vz-fe ported & polished (we gain 30hp/20tq <pbbbbl> to the 1mz!)
4) See if someone can make me some good headers, namely see if the Downey headers for the 3vzf-e fit in our bay.

I think gato mentioned that he wanted close to or at least a 2-2.5" drop all around. He was trying to sell his H&R kit a while ago, but I'm not sure if he's already sold it. The only springs I know that would achieve the larger drop are probably the Intrax brand (what sk8er251cc has in his 2000 ES Platinum).

yes, I have them also! Drop hasn't reached 2 inches yet, but maybe after a few more months of settling it will be.

How long have you had your springs? Yeah, I've been debating the same thing, to cut some of the coil up front... but I opted to wait for more settling of the springs.

i'm glad somebody here sais something about cutting a coil.

The real reason I havn't got the intrax springs like frank White is because I simply do not think it is low enough. I found those dropzone springs on ebay for 100 bucks and it lowers it 1.8 all around,but to me I think it should be at least 2 in front and 1.7 in back so the real delay is my procrastination in going to have my springs cut, the dude is waiting on me he wants 80 bucks. the guy seems to be pretty reputable cause he did my friends mercedes and a golf, looks great
