decided to clean the car over the weekend and managed to take some pics..Must be the weather because it seems like everyone else decided to snag some pics too..

On another note, of course the day I decide not to drive my coupe, I see 5 different fox's out yesterday (Sunday). I seen a black LX Hatch in the slow lane lowered on 17" silver cobra on 580, then Black GT with 93 cobra tails on Foothill in CV. Then few minutes after I see a silver lx hatch on the same road. I get back towards home and see dark red GT hatch with LX tails and white LX Vert in Lucky's parking lot.

KYB struts, kyb quads, Eibach sportlines springs, global west plates.

Since we're on the subject, I really want to get the rear a lot lower. I'm thinking of doing MM weight jackers with a good set of struts in the rear rather then doing a coilover setup. What do you guys think?

They're actually identical to Sterns. They were made by the same company.I believe the Sterns only came in 5lug and had Stern engraved on one of the spokes

Some cheap ebay euroclear lenses. They were only $130, but you get what you pay for. You'll most likely have to reseal them because mine were leaking immediately

I agree 100%. I hate how the front rims look. I've planned two different options.

A.) 15-20mm bolt-on spacer up front.

B.) Put the rears in the front with a smaller tire & get new lips from HRE, widening the front rims to put in the rear.

Luke what rear springs/strut combo are you running? I think you have MM weight jackers, correct? I'm trying to figure out if I want to go coilovers in the rear or just buy the MM or Pro3i weight jackers.

I have the following:

Front
MM coilovers with 350# 10" spring
Griggs K/A-arms
Bilstein HDs
and not a single bushing in the front end

Rear
Pro3i weight jackers
Eibach Sportlines
Bilstein HDs
Panhard sitting in the garage

I could not be happier with the setup. 4 wheel height adjustability is a beautiful thing...
