So how is that car handling now. You can't just give us pictures, you have to give us a full report as well.

I'm not done with the fine tuning of the suspension yet but so far I'm very happy with the preformance. The ride became a little more bumpy but it is a good trade off. Somethng I would recommend is to buy new endlinksif you installthe heavy duty front sawbar, the stock ones seem too flimsy. I'm waiting for the endlinks before I realy let her loose....

check out the tein coilovers, they are far superior to the d-specs. cost more, but if you really want something that handles well, get those.
