i noticed u have:
a) Koni Sport shocks --- do they fit perfectly or is modification needed? ...............REARS FIT PERFECTLY. FRONT ONES WERE ABOUT 2" SHORTER THAN STOCK, SO DIFFICULT TIME PUTTING ON THE EIBACH SPRINGS. ORIGINAL PERCH HAD TO BE TAKEN OFF AND INSTALLED ON KONIS.
b) Front Strut Tower Brace -- what kind? where can i get these for the 3.2?? pics? ............ NOTHING AVAILABLE, SO I BOUGHT ONES FOR A HONDA CIVIC AND DESIGN AND HAD THE BRACKETS MAKE UP. WORKS WELL. I'LL POST A PICTURE
c) Rear Fender Lip Ground -- what are these? ...... I HAVE 225X40 TIRES ON 18X7.5 WHEELS WITH 45 OFFSET AND THE REAR TIRES WERE RUBBING, SO I HAD 1/4" OF THE REAR FENDER LIP GROUND OFF AND RUSTPROOFED. NO MORE RUBBING
d) Custom 3/4" rear sway bar --- where did u get them custom done? pics? ............ I GOT THEM DONE AT A PLACE CALLED "SPECIALTY ENGINEERING" IN NEW WESTMINSTER, BC, CANADA. IT WAS REALLY EXPENSIVE - $650 CDN FOR JUST THE REAR. I'M PLANNING TO GET THE FRONTS DONE NEXT. WHEN I GET A CHANCE, I'LL TAKE A PICTURE AND POST IT.
e) polyurethane sway bar bushi ---- what are these? ....... THESE ARE BUSHINGS THAT REPLACE THE RUBBER ONES ON THE STOCK SWAY BARS. THEY COMPRESS LESS THAN RUBBER MAKING THE CAR HANDLE BETTER

If you are interested in getting custom made sway bars, I could ask my friend for a contact person. It may be far less than $650. The place I took my car to does quality high end modification to cars and specializes in building racing cars from what I've been told
