Still need to put in camber bolts (as its 2.8 in the rear and I want it at 2.0), roll the rear fenders, and need to put 2 stage helper springs to give it a bit better ride.
Damn, looks good and I bet handles even better. Was that the koni insert you were working on last week?

Yep, had to do a bit of grinding once we got them in, as the bit of the spring cup I left, still touched the tire, but a quick application of 4" cutoff wheel solved that.

To all those that have a PDX series alpine amplifiers. I just found out that these are only stable on 4 & 8ohm settings. Just figured out why my type-x was cutting out even though it's a perfect paired sub amp set.

That is the plan, the back is as high as it can go right now, so once I get the helper springs I can back down the adjusters some...but I really like it where it is, not SLAMMED, but still low and rides well.

Yes, a nice one too, but you will need to call him to ask. I don't wish to quote prices and speak for him.

Wax or die. What did you use? I am an avid enthusiast of cleaning products and trying them out. If i cant find a new i like my car doesnt get washed. Hence the name lol. So far my fav is fast wax but curious as to what others use.

I use Chemical Guys. Used butter wet wax, before I used a special black paste wax from them. Took too long and didn't last long.
