Operation SUSPENSION finally completed today!! *many pix*

After 2 years of working on the suspension, I finally completed it today. The only other thing I might add is a front lower tie bar, but I have to see if I have enough ground clearance first. I just finished installing my new coilovers but haven't gotten a chance to take it out for a spin yet as the car is still sitting on jacks.

So I decided to snap some photos first before I put everything back together. I can't wait to test this setup out at the track, but I still want to get a Quaife LSD installed first. So in the meantime, I'll just test it out up in the mountains.

Suspension mods:

Tein FLEX coilovers
Skunk2 front camber kit
SRR rear camber kit
SRR rear lower control arms
Energy Suspension front swaybar bushings
Comptech 22mm rear swaybar/tie bar combo
Carbing 3pt aluminum front strut tower bar
Mugen rear strut tower bar
Megan Racing H-brace
Falken Azenis tires

Tein coilovers - front

front aluminum pillow mounts - bottom

front aluminum pillow mounts - top

Tein coilovers - rear

rear aluminum pillow mounts

Skunk2 front camber kit

SRR rear camber kit

ES front swaybar bushings

Carbing 3pt front STB

Mugen rear STB

Megan Racing H-brace

Comptech 22mm rear sway/tie combo

SRR rear LCA

Falken Azenis tires

Re: (Quad-Damge)

Those LCA's are sexy as hell. I think they're going to be on my "Want List". I have Tein's coming this week. SS model since I can't afford the Flex system. I also have the skunk2 camber kit.

Anyhow, nice a$$ set-up y0

the front 3pt strut bar

Yeah, sounds like it's time to hit up a driving school and find a racetrack ... learn to wring the most out of all that money spent. But hell, still a nice setup! So pretty looking.
