Every time I really think about doing that, I think of everything else I would be losing... it basically means no more washing, cleaning, or working on the car in the driveway.

Dan you're my hero for posting that picture of you getting into your driveway. I tried pulling in forwards tonight, cut the wheel super hard and got in without any problem! Rolled it back down to the critical spot and pulled the ebrake and got out to look, and I had probably 3 inches of clearance. Coilovers here I come!

Nice!! Thats what I like to hear! I knew you could gain some clearance from going at it another way. If you have 3 inches of clearance you will probably be able to go much lower than me. I'm going to get a pic hopefully tomorrow that will make you feel a lot better about your driveway too. I'll show you where the lip gets closest to the slope.

You ended up with the BC Racing coils right? What are you impressions? Good ride quality?

Yea, BC Racing BR Series and a SPC rear camber kit. The BC Racing BR is an OEM type coilover. We set the dampening more towards to the softer side for daily driving purposes. The car rides very smooth its a little bit stiffer than stock but I'm happy with it. It still is a comfortable ride. For the money you can't go wrong.

I'm on the lookout for Bride Zeta or Gias seats. As well as Recaro Pole Positions. Preferably red but I wouldn't mind black. I just wanted to put this out there in hopes that anyone knows someone who is selling them before I buy them new. I've already joined s2ki, nasioc, etc. to search for seats haha. Any tips are much appreciated.

My friend Mark's s2000. Lets be honest, who doesn't enjoy some AP1 goodness?







Few random pics of my car in my neighborhood...






Here are the promised driveway pics. After taking these pictures I realize I could go a bit lower in the front if I wanted to (while still being able get in my driveway/garage).







As always, thanks for looking .

Nice man congrats on the purchase! Classic wheels will always be classic, I might be biased to the LMGT4's though .

I know what you mean about the s2000. When we first got in the car, we had trouble fitting the pink slip in the glove box with the top down. There really isn't too much space to put things in the interior of that car. In the s2000 its basically only the trunk that you can store stuff in. I'm still jelly of his car when the nice weather comes around and he can throw the top down.

Haha, I think I am going to scrape myself most times too, but luckily I haven't, just have to hope for the best.

Thanks, I'd like a Project Mu Brakes but I'm leaning towards a set of Brides or an upgraded LSD, i've been actively searching for a set for a while before I order them new. I have time since a lot of the seats are backordered. Can't wait to see your updated pics with your new D2 brakes.
