We ran into a rough spot with some tough bolts. Half of the suspension is swapped over to the new car, and the old half is back on the gold SC. It will be finished by tomorrow morning!

P.S. The front of the red SC is lowered and has the new rims on it and OMG it's hot

All done!













It actually rides a bit softer than when I had them on the gold SC. I am very happy

Eh, the "splash guards" are kinda growing on me but I might take them off just to see. I am loving the wingless look though.

I've been busy getting all of the maintenance caught up. Did a tuneup (plugs, wires, cap, rotor, oil, tranny fluid) including seafoam and she is running good as ever. I still can't believe how border-line perfect she is. I just bought a Pioneer F700bt headunit to go with some JL audio speakers I am getting. Once the sound "situation" is squared away, I'll be saving for some nice wheels, then boost. I still need to get the paint professionally detailed so I can take her for a real photoshoot!

Great find and she's a beauty!
I just got mine with 145K but can't complain

That tokico/esperil is really growing on me. I need to change the stock stuff anyway and I'm debating between this or the gixxer_drew setup. The second one seems way better but I'm so experienced in doing this stuff that I'll probably end up with a lot of mess in my garage and no driving SC

And again. Great looking baby you have!

Troy,really starting to come together looks great. no spoilers for her,just a 97+ upgrade without the spoiler,wheels,and let us not forget turbo.if you can live with the mud guards,keep them on it will protect your paint from rock chips.
