Thanks! As soon as I finish the track z that I have I will start doing some small mods to this one, just to make it a bit more of a fun daily. Suspension / diff / motor.. Keeping the car completely stock looking on the outside.

^^^ It wasn't perfectly modded in my opinion...The cusco's that were on the car only went so low. I was maxed out in the rear and wasn't happy how high it sat in the rear. With how low I wanted to be, the coilovers sucked as far as ride quality/handling. These coilovers (especially with these springs), and needed camber/toe adjustment, will handle and ride A LOT better.

I bought the car because it was a good deal regardless of what mods it had. Yes it had some stuff done to it, but I am slowly making it my own. Cusco coilovers (OEM style) would not have been my first choice in coilovers...so I went with these...

Thanks!

I guess my main gripe is why not have the cusco's re-valved and use universal swift springs....probably would still been cheaper.

Like I said before, the cusco's rear springs were maxing out. They handled great if I had a 2 inch gap, but once lowered, they didnt do so good. Also, I sold my cuscos for $1500, and bought the new coilovers for $800 shipped, toe arms for 250$ shipped, and swift springs for 250$ shipped. So, I actually came out on top.
