MFW I can't decide what direction I want to go with my exterior so I just keep spending money on suspension.

Sitting on the cash until we finish expanding the business. Then, who knows? I'm keeping my eyes wide open though.

I remember that feeling^^^ Mine was 34 months since I ran into issues with my RX8 at the time.. Oh well...... ContgratZ!

and me:

I got her out of storage!!! Well, that was last Sunday. I had recently put on BC coils that I picked up cheap to replace the blown stock struts. I guessed on the ride height during the install and came up a little low for my tastes... Still had to take some "slammed" pictures though. Already got the fronts raised 1/2" or so and plan to reinstall the rears after work this morning. Then its CRUISE TIME.............. to the car wash :P

How have you felt about those compression bushings? Any opinions on the drivability / driving characteristics?

No joke, they're some of the best things I've done. The diff bushings were immediately noticeable. No more wheel hop or anything. Very little added noise. Made the drivetrain feel completely new. Compression arm bushings are quiet as can be... for now. Whole front end feels so much tighter than before. Turn in has improved and the car doesn't wander so much anymore. I can take my hand off the wheel at 70 and it drives perfectly straight.

SPL. Found the full set of diff bushings in the marketplace for $110 shipped I think. Well worth it.

I'm trying to decide if I should go with NISMO V3 front, carbon sideskirts (maybe bottomlines) and TS Style rear diffuser? Hmmm
