Well I waited until I got something to update my thread and I did. I treated my self to some coilovers and went with Ksport Kontrol Pro's. I had a buddy that had them on his s13 and it road very well and he beats the hell out of his car and still no problems over a year and maybe one other guy I know that has them. So I researched some other coils and this one just caught my eye and since I only daily my car, I think it will be okay until maybe next year if i decide to go a different route.

Over all the car drives very nice I still have lots to go lower but I will wait until I get some wheels to see how fitment is. I have the settings at 15 all the way around and when it sets I will re-adjust.

Some pics, I will update with some more later on.

Thank you Fed ex



Coils on



and on the ground



oh and I hit 200k WOO!

So I bought these, I really wanted them so I had to get them. Sizes arent crazy but spacers will be my friend to make them sit flush. Once they come in I will take close pictures of them and on the car. Couple other things coming in.

Every time I almost talk myself out of dying the carpet, somebody posts how nice it looks.

Nice find! Love the black carpet. That is one of the first things I want to do to my interior.

Yeh but now I am kicking myself cause I didnt leave it out long enough for the dye to really soak in, but I bought some SEM paint which was recommended on other post, so it look good now. If you guys only seen it before I dyed it ha it was terrible this was a major upgrade and I got to clean under the carpet.

Well I get my extended lug studs in today, so I will be putting up a spacer just to bring out the rim a tad bit. Hopefully get it aligned this week, and also get my new grip royal steering wheel too

Good job, brother- restoring a fine piece of machinery to her former glory. I'd say both of you made out well in that bargain, you for finding a hidden gem at an awesome price and the former owner for sending her to someone who'll clearly appreciate her.

You've done great initially, we look forward to future updates. I can't tell you how good that carpet looks, and truly ties the car together well...
