Please come! I wish I could park my G near yours! haha, but it's in the body shop right now.

I love the red and white setup, that's what I was leaning towards but I went with gold.

Loving the build, keep at it!!! And I'm definately interested in what coilover kit you're going get!

Sold the Volks, ordered some custom CCW's...

Got my fenders rolled for my 11 inch wide rears...

Also got Sikky solid aluminum subframe bushings and a bunch of other stuff. Suspension build coming soon.

Bump.

CCW's are on the car, got the SPL midlinks so I have everything for my suspension minus some bushings and the biggest part: the coils. Funds have been going to some of my other projects so it's been a little slow going but there will be lots of progress as tax return season is just around the corner.

Some pics.







And one photoshoped lowered. The real thing is coming soon.

They were cheap and I'm driving way to many street miles right now for anything stickier. They will get replaced by better ones once I'm not driving it so much. Don't know about coils yet. Probably some KW Clubsports but who knows.

iirc KW clubsports are True-style coils.. Go with KW V2/V3 since you got the Midlinks, which is setup for oem-style coils.

I was wondering about your fender roll.. was any part cut at all? tact welded? i see the paint was stripped away, did you repaint? if not any rust issues? where'd you get it done?

Sorry for the multitude of questions, it looks very clean and i like it. I'm in the market for a good fender roll.. I appreciate it

The KW Clubsports are available either way, true or OEM style. The OEM setup is actually much more common than the true style because it's actually a semi-custom setup. I've spoken to KW about it.

The paint was stripped and the lip was rolled completely flat but with no pull and no cut. It was done by Robi Fuller, his shop is local to me and he does great work.

Installed my Sikky solid aluminum subframe bushings yesterday and got a couple good test drives with them in. The rear seems a little more planted in the corners. The biggest difference is in the launch, I did a few 3000 rpm clutch dumps and the wheel hop is gone. The car just gets out of the hole so much harder now. I didn't take many pictures of the install but here's a few.

Also installed these bad boys a couple weeks back, so easy to adjust on the car. No clunks or weird sounds, really couldn't be happier with them.
