nice build by the way! ill be keeping my eye on this :thumb: :woot:

thanks! :thumb:
i'm using the ground control extended upper mounts, and they actually lower my car about an inch without me messing with spring height.
Image
to lower the springs i unlock the gold ring in the pic above and move it down the threads. i dont have any gap because of the extended top mounts and my springs are a bit short, only 8 inches i think. hope that helps!

Image

- Thu Nov 22, 2012 8:07 am #320630 No real updates, I work retail, so this time of year is insane for me.
Traded my trunk with the replica Ferio wing for a wingless trunk and a rear window visor.
Also traded my faded red/clear tails for some stock USDM ones.
The trunk was painted tan/sky blue camo, so it looks really out of place on my car.
Image
The whole car's gonna be getting paint early next year so I can live with it.
Also going to be picking up a carbon fiber hood sometime soon. It's for a coupe and has a good amount of fading, but its free, so I'll take it. :lol:
