I agree with bluelex, raise the rear up a little bit. If anything, make sure the rear ride height matches the fronts ride height.
From personal experience, I used to have the rear tucked compared to the front and when I floored it, it felt like a spaceship launching. After I raised the rear, the car felt leveled.

So you decide to go with the Wise kit? where did you find the Wise front bumper ? Did TTurbo decide to sell his. If youhave not found any one with the sides and rear ( other tnan Steve G.) Try Bozzperformance.They can get the whole kit for almost $2K less than Steve. That was at least a year ago, but it takes for ever to get it 5-6months.

thanks guys going to get prices on chroming them
8/6 setup thats way too crazy for street use but for show use i could see it
those calipers must be huge
im definitley going to raise the rear
and as far as the WISe stuff a member contacted me saying he had some pieces
but right now all i could was the front ...still waiting on a member for the sides
i call and leave messages for the past 2 weks but no good ...so if anyone has Lsport sides
to sell let me know
thanks
johnny

Japanese brakes for a Japanese car lol
well they have a great reputation
i knew i was eventually going to FI so i wanted 6 pot brakes
and their blue
i looked at Brembos.Stoptech,Rotora ,and Wilwood
i heard that rotoras were cheaper made versions of stoptech and im not looking for cheap version of anything having to due with brakes
wilwood i heard werent that great either
and the brembos well whenever i think of them i think of red and it just wouldnt look right
on a blue car

I was a little nervous in getting a fiber glass front bumper. I've had them on other cars in the past and it seems like no matter how carefull I am , murphy's law always finds me. I felt that at $1450 for the bumper one mistake would not be good . I've thought about maybe getting the front bumper and taking that chance lately.
I think that kit would be awsome on your Blue Lex. But as you know, a lot of members don't really care for it . Just my $.02
