Default 90% done!!! or is it??? (Updated)

Hi guys,

It's been more than a year since i post here at this forum.

Here is a little update of what i have done to my car

-Removed Sprint Booster and installed TOM's LTS which is better cos i can switch off and On it when i need it
-Change espiler active low down to TOM's fully adjustable coilover
-Change to 4pots AP Racing BBK for the rear
-Change all tires from pirelli to yokohama advan due to side wall bubble
-Removed K&N Drop in filter, too much hassle to maintain

here are some photos

Thanks. These are Toms racing coils not advox.
It's definitely better ride than just replacing the springs (Espelir Active Low Down). ride is more comfy with because of more compression distance. the car only bounces once on rolling through humps. That's all i can say cos i cant remember how the original suspension feels.. Sorry....
