Default Fork in the road.....

I kind of have some writers block with my Coupe project......
So far Iv'e dropped it on Skunk 2's coilovers w/Tockico Illuminas.
Slapped some Fat 5's and new tires on it.
Put a CTR shift boot and a Skunk 2 **** on.
LS front seats
Type R style lip
EJ8 skirts.
Kenwood stereo, and took the cheap *** tent off.

And the biggest modification of course was adding a couple decals. lol. (not the gay *** JDM bumper sticker that is HIGHLY played out)

Im thinkn' about goin deeper into some suspension work?

I kind of want to hold off on the motor for a bit just until work picks up again, because thats a big chunk of money to throw out at once.

Anyone got some ideas on what I should go into next?

camber kits will help with the alignment but getting some adjustable dampening coilovers will help the most, but if your not racing then it wont matter.

you could get a sway bar but be sure to get a brace like ASR.

strut bars are mainly for looks and wont help much, but if your into lame decals then youll love these.

hahaha.....yea....I was lookin' into the ASR braces. I dont know about the Dampeners because Im already on brand new SKunk coilovers and Tockicos. Iv'e got a b16 tranny sittin' in my garage. No use for now until I get my hands on an H series motor.

i've had 2 different cars with blox lca's and they were fine....


unless you just have extra money to spend it seems dumb to me to get a more expensive part to do the same job that a cheaper part can do just as good.

just my 2cents
