I'm on a budget and the listing also advertises functional driving imporvements. just because they go low as hell doesnt mean that they have to be that low. Theyre at a good right height with stiff dampening and spring preloads. Dont be turned off by coilovers because the advert say "slam your car."

And The fluid reservoir will remain unpainted for now. I had my friends make a little decal that says "WASHER FLUID"

Nice. I've always contemplated what clear markers would look like on my solar.

I finally got some new tires (Continental ExtremeContact DWS all-seasons). I managed to eek 20,780 miles out of my factory Potenzas before the front left tire started to de-laminate and bulge on the inside wall of the tire. I feel lucky that I caught it before it exploded.

I'm having one wheel repaired for curb rash, the tires are getting mounted and balanced at a good shop and I'm picking up them up on Saturday. While my car's on jack stands, I'm changing out my diff fluid, my MTF, my rear brake pads, and I'm putting in a SS-braided clutch line that goes from the slave to the master cylinder. I'm also going to replace the clutch fluid with some German DOT-4 product to see if that helps with the pedal bottoming out when I launch.

Then I get to spend all day Sunday working on my sister-in-law's Kia Rondo (hack!)

Finishing up my PPE header install , got my front bumpers in, starting to drill holes and mount them , suspension adjustments , off jack stands and finally get to drive it again.

Then back on stands and build a splitter

Never ends

BTW, extreme dimensions bumpers, very nice.
