Car went into the shop for the suspension install. Should be a week or so until I get it back. Also swapped wheels at the shop so here's one picture for now.

carbonTSEX

Decided since the suspension is taken apart, it would be a good time for an upgrade. Ordered SPC front adjustable camber ball joints as well as 3 bar rear kit in addition to my Ingalls rear adjustable camber ball joints. I'll have a lot more adjustability now.

Car is suppose to be done late next week.

carbonTSEX

Progress. Should be complete this week.

Love the air and the wheels and I know the project isn't done yet, but I'm uncertain how it will come out; seems like they're too aggressive without a fender pull/flare?

carbonTSEX

I'll make them fit.

carbonTSEX

Went to check on the car today. After installing the SPC front camber kit the fronts tuck but rub slightly on the way down so I'll do a slight pull and be set. Rears sat on the edge of the tire but haven't adjusted the rear camber yet now that the SPC 3 bar is in. Probably do a slight pull for the rear as well just for peace of mind. Car should be out of the shop this week!

Which Spoilerking's rear window spoiler did you use?

carbonTSEX

I don't remember the exact style but it's the original one not the newest version.

Any more pictures of the fitment? Curious to see how you fit them in the wheel wells

carbonTSEX

Patiently waiting to get my car back still. Once I get it back I'll update my build thread.

carbonTSEX

Got my car back today after 3 long weeks. Had them get everything working properly on the stocks. Will be fitting my VSXX's tomorrow night for import Faceoff. InfiniteWerks will be on for the next show hopefully. Wasn't able to run the addition camber I needed in the front do to the fork coming in contact with the strut so may be downsizing tires but I'll keep my thread posted. For now, the first couple photos I took.

This set up is perfect. It deserves a photo/video shoot, as I stated on your Instagram lol

carbonTSEX

Haha thanks. I'll get one sometime as soon as I'm done with school and have some more free time.

carbonTSEX

It's been a minute. Too busy to put work into my other wheels so here's how she currently sits. Need to adjust my camber a little more so I can drop the rear more. Also planning to finally get her dyno tuned. Just need to call and set it up.

Loopy

I'm curious, what's the ride like now compared to driving on coils?

carbonTSEX

Its actually smoother than coilovers at ride height. Raised up all the way it's bouncy but not a height you would drive on. The air struts have adjustable collars and dampeners just like coilovers.

potmilkz

coming along nicely, i would adjust the collar to lower it down a bit.. so that when you air out you are completely on the ground but not touching the ground.

potmilkz

also you are crazy.. i cant run that fitment lol

carbonTSEX

Thanks. I haven't adjusted anything since I got it back but yeah I could lay the frame. Gotta tweak the camber so I can tuck the VSXX's more in the rear. My show wheels, yeah they are aggressive as fuck lol. I'll be happy once I have some free time to work on my fitment. Current tires on them are too tall so gotta swap them out. Soon though.

potmilkz

almost forgot to say.. welcome to that baggedlife

Been awhile since I updated my thread.

As summer has come to an end here in Washington and Shawdy is getting tucked away until spring time (fire her up here and there), I decided to do a full 3 stage polish and do two different paint coatings:



1) Gtechniq Crystal Serum Ceramic Coating (7 years guaranteed)



2) Gtechniq Exo Hydrophobic Coating (3 years guaranteed)





Final result was better than I had expected and the paint does need anything more than a wash from here on out. As for future mods, I did order a set of Kics iR40 Conix tuner lugs which are currently being imported from Japan through one of my homies. I do still have my Infinite Werks that I will be swapping tires to get the fitment I want. I also am looking to finally install a stereo in the trunk since I have a brand new JL Audio 600/1 amp and W6v3 subwoofer. I'm trying to hold off until I can get my custom trunk set up complete however so i am not blocking my air setup with a big box. That's about it for now. I do have plans to get the Stoptech BBK front and rear hopefully this coming spring/summer 17. We shall see.

UNFUCKING REEEEEEEEAAAAAALLLLLLLLLL, goddamn I love this car.....jesus.

edit: Any chance you have any hi-res/larger versions of the upper image with the stock 19's in the parking garage after the detail treatments? That photo makes my dick hard, thanks. ;]

carbonTSEX

Yes I do. Photobucket always distorts my photos.

'99-6SIC6

If you're willing to send me one, PM me. I like to have large size photos on my desktop here at work that fill the whole screen and that one of your ride in the parking garage would be perfect if the dimensions are slightly larger than what is showing on this thread. Holler at me,

-greg

carbonTSEX

I'll do a test on my laptop and I'll PM you.

Mickman

Your car is beautiful man.

potmilkz

Use Flickr if you don't want your photos messed with.

​​​​​​nice work with the car

carbonTSEX

Lol. I parked her for the fall and winter, sitting at 12.5k miles. My wife's 16 RDX is gonna catch up in a month or two.

carbonTSEX

Thanks for the advice. I'll have to try it out.

carbonTSEX

Well since it's Black Friday I decide to take advance of the sales and order front and rear Stoptech BBK. Probably won't be installing until spring but still happy with where my build is going.

'99-6SIC6

Your ride is so sick already...can't wait to see that BBK! Congrats man, keep it up!

-greg

carbonTSEX

Brakes arrived today. They are huge! I won't be installing until spring before the first car show of the year (April 9th) so the wait will have to continue on my build. Time to keep stacking parts.







And of course I have the R40 iconix lug nuts imported from Japa to throw on the new setup as well.



I will have to update my mod list in 2017.

KarKraze

Looks awesome .

carbonTSEX

Must. Not. Install. Yet lol

KarKraze

The . Itch . To . Resist, hahaha!!

Had to come back for a second look. So looking forward to seeing your car in the Spring.
