Should be a quality setup, looking forward to pics & impressions.

Thanks John lol. I took a 90 degree turn at 70km/h in the rain, and nothing, no body roll, didnt get shot across the seat, no sliding, just grip and stability for days

Good thing I had whiteline endlinks installed a few months back. The stock links would have caused issues as the bar would be touching the camber arms. had to tighten the endlinks to their shortest setting.

All the stuff I've bought for my suspension/chassis and I can't really afford to spend anymore on these. I want to... believe me.

With five years hindsight for common mods I've done with my G, if I had tho choose to go with only one, just one, it would be the swaybars.

Granted, I have a set of gears that's been sitting in my office all winter. But I still think sways.

Engine Cover

So I decided to repaint my engine cover since it was all scratched and looked super ugly. I think it came out pretty decent and as close to stock as possible haha. Here is a before and after! And yes I took off my K&N Ram Intakes since I was having issues with them. Also the VVEL letters were a PITA to try to mask off so I just painted it hahaha.

I have been playing around with my headlight's and on Thursday when i got home from work there was a package from Japan sitting on kitchen table, it was my new Giga 6000k HID bulb's that have been installed and look great, I have not driven out of town yet with them so I can't give a great review of the output as all of our street's are lit with LED's and are pretty bright.

Decided to go back to having some night time contrast at the front end. I've been running 5k vleds v3 triton switchbacks for a while now in place of the amber halogen turn signal bulbs. Recently swapped to the morimoto led fogs that I've had sitting around since their sale in December of 2015(?). So with the switchbacks, led fogs, and the factory hids I got a little tired of the amount of ~5k illumination up front and swapped in some amber/amber v3 tritons today. They're quite bright, obviously the 5k switchbacks have more lumens but the amber switchbacks are significantly brighter than the amber halogens. For now, I'm happy with something different.
