A few updates for my car. First off, I installed the RJM Clutch pedal. No longer do I have to awkwardly apply the gas to drive the car in 1st. It is oh-so smooth when shifting into 1st, R, and 2nd gear. I regret not getting this as my first mod. Install was a major pain, but it helps to have a local who has done the install before to hold my hand and in some cases, take over. Removal of the seat is a must for anyone that is tall.
I also purchased a set of Hotchkis sways and BC coilovers last week. I am ironing out some issues with the famous squeak/rattle. I've contacted BC and they now make a conversion that will re-use the OEM top hat similar to the Tein Basis. Maybe, something for other BC guys to look into to get rid of all the noises going on back there. Installation of the coilovers and sways were pretty straight-forward. The car is very tight, no body roll, and leaps and bounds funner to drive in the twisties. Which, in my commute to work, is a common occurrence.
I am still sitting on my headlight parts, waiting to install. That project will be on hold until I resolve the issue with my suspension.

That's fantastic. Congrats!
Plans for a rear camber & toe kit?

However you look at it, it's looking good and better for your efforts, right? That's what it's all about.
I see you painted your trunk lip all stealth-like, without talking about it here.

Nice job, love those Z wheels on that freshly lowered G. What tire specs are you running, looks like a bit of a stretch mount but fits so well at the fender so it's a nice look.
Hope the top hat "fix" will get you running quiet again, let us know how it works out.

Just from that one pic, it looks like you're a 1/4" to a 1/2" lower than I am, and maybe +1/4" more poked. But that's just one picture, and as you're well aware after eyeballing this stuff over and over, the perspective changes based on surface and pitch. On top of that, it's all so subjective. One man's win is another's crusade to correct.

I'd say about 1/2'' lower. I'm loving the look but I do rub here and there going up driveways. That's an interesting standpoint. While you are trying to correct camber, I am chasing it. The paint on the trunk is not 100% matched to my car so I need to re-do that
. I also added carsmo *****.

I will, the car handles and rides great it's just the noise in cabin which is off-putting to me. Some may not care, I do.

Over the holiday break, I decided to crack open the headlights with a help of my buddy. I did the following..

The car is on stock sport suspension for now before I decide on what brand/route I want to go.

- High-Temp Brake Caliper Satin Black paint
- Modded Shield for sharp cutoff
