Default Slammed my ride yesterday!!! WoooHooo!!!

UPDATE ON PAGE 3!!


Well, Yesterday a friend and I worked on the SC to install the Megan EZ's Coilovers and Rotors/Pads. I have been waiting a month to have the the time to do this install. Finally done and I love these coilovers... They are very smooth and ride well for the street. The stance you can get with coilovers on an SC is just sweet. Anyway, I have new SS brakelines, Rotors and pads. The braking is improved as well. So I am feeling good about the car. Oh one other thing is I traded my IS300 wheels for a set of L-Tune replica 18x8 Chrome wheels with new tires on them. I think it is a nice improvement also. Makes my calipers stand out.

Here is what it looked like previous to install:





Then we did the calipers:





Then we installed the coilovers:

I agree totally on the spacers, but these wheels cost me nothing and I also have a set of G35 wheels that have a better offset for later. So these will work for now and I may throw spacers on there in a little while.

I also plan on hitting up the FMIC I need to help my 1JZ chill! and Exhaust that is 3" to 2.5" dual all the way back.

Looks awesome! Love the color combo you have. Red with the gold package and gold calipers. Nice man!

Looks good though, it definitely needs some spacers. Should look sick when the G35's get put on!

I'm curious as to why you took the upper control arm out, and how hard it was to take out, because I am pretty sure this is not necessary to remove and install struts...

Looks damn good though!

Looks good. You may consider pulling out fender liners or trimming them, and relocating the wiring harness in the DS fender.

And before you run out and buy spacers remember you'll need to install longer wheel studs to match the increase in thickness of the spacers. And make sure they are hub centric.

That's a pretty big drop. It looks good.

Like Ifrers said, relocate the wiring harness in the front driver side fender. If you rub a lot, it'll get chewed up pretty quick if you don't relocate it.
