I added rear discs brakes and for some reason it pushed the rims out further and it tore up my tires and my rear quarter panels. They are repairable, so I just threw on my girlfriends Si rims on it for the mean time. Im kinda feeling them, but they dont look as aggressive. Opinions?!?

Oh, and I got the VC powdercoated at a local shop. The pics do not do justice.







You can barely see the rear discs haha






And a shot with my brothers DC4. Plans are to go lower of course.



Opinions?

Did you use just the trailing arms or t/a, lca and compensator arms from the donor car. I know on a EF you use just the trailing arms or it sticks out.

I didnt know EF and EK LCA's were different in size, good to know! OEM EF LCA's look better though.

A few updates:
-Picked up a PWJDM bar for $60 (I love craigslist)
-Shined up my bay with tire shine, didnt come out too bad.


I have some digi cam pics, but I wanted to get some opinions on my new phones pics. They dont look too bad for being a phone.








I need to pick up some weather stripping to clean up the cuts for adjustable shocks.

You guys are all ****ing ********, who gives a **** if I post my pics of my EK, ill get **** either way.

If I make a thread I will get ****, people saying

"why did you make a thread about this?"

If I post it in another persons thread I get accused of thread jacking

So **** all of you wannabee mods
