Going to be doing brembo upgrade for the fronts soon. Rears will have to wait.

 

[Khaos]

Those look awesome on there

 

[Jared]

Thanks

 

[Jared]

finally ordered the upper black trim, will install it all soon, I've had the lowers for about a year, just waiting for a good deal and found it finally! We got a group buy in our DFW group and 9 sets are headed to Texas...

Nice small detail, will look better than fgt chrome strip

 

[Jared]

yeah, I am ready for it to be done.

 

[WhiteMike]

That'll look good.

 

[Jared]

Should have brembo calipers soon

 

[Jared]

Why stock struts?

Well, there isn't really much to run. GXP (FE3) struts, Koni (have to cut open the stock fronts as they are "inserts) which are expensive, and PPV struts, which I bought.

That or coilovers. I can't do those at $1200. I have adult things to do!

There aren't QA1, Fox, etc options, the cars didn't gain a large aftermarket support group. We are limited...

Here a few cars with PPV and Teins

 

[TechieTruckGuy]

That black one
:megustamucho:

 

[Fiesty]

Interested to see how the PPV struts work for you. I may do them.

 

[Jared]

we shall soon see. If they suck dick I will scrap them for coilovers

 

[Tylers88]

Current prediction, Jared will hate the struts, springs will be ok but struts will be "garbage" and this will end up about 1.5-2" lower than it should be as a daily on coilovers

 

[Khaos]

Then he'll want to bag it, then end up selling it and regretting it.

 

[Jared]

As long as it gets me out of this and into the SS...

Been on the lot for a minute. No one wants it because it's a 6spd
