Default New photos of the car after coilover install (lots of pics...sorry!)

Got bored this evening, figured I'd head out with the camera to see what I could find....sorry for the heavy photoshoped ones, but I think they look kinda cool

These were taken at a local machine shop that has been in town as long as I can remember. You'd never guess by looking at it















Ok, thats it...I'm done......for now
(yes, the orange marker lights and bumperetts REALLY need to go!)

Looks great! Is it on RS ride height?

Did you darken the MY02s or stock colour? Works either way.

Wow, great pics. So... monochrome. Industrial. Utilitarian.
The car looks sweet!

From what I can tell, yes right about RS height, maybe a tad higher. The wheels are all stock except for a refinish to fix curbing from the guy I got them from. I used the Einzette silver and a DIY here on the forums and the color matched the OEM silver perfect.

Very nice....the front looks lower than the rear on the first few shots? Or were you carrying a couple of cases of Corona in the trunk?

Yep, that’s a tough call to make at first glance.


Your pics are tight. I would have never thought of using those backgrounds. Very creative and front cover quality.

Car looks great Justin, this mod is definitely on my to do list.

You will be amazed how much better your car will look with clear corners.

A friend and I did the install last weekend. We used Jeff's DIY guide and all came out well. Wasn't really that bad to do, other than me dropping one of the four top shock bolts down into the black abyss of the engine bay. Never found it, had to get a replacement
