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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. ;]

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,

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.

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.
