I like the balloon white or I'm thinking of going military green like this:



I'd want the color a little deeper if I go green so I'll do a couple coats of black first and then lay down the green

Very true. I'd say its about 60/40 leaning towards mil green and I'm pretty sure I'm bone stock otherwise. I'm not sure how high the ride height is for this car of if the previous owners put different shocks on it

unless they were shocks with adjustable perches, probably same shit since spring determines height.

You know waht's throwing me off? I was on evoxforums for the longest time and if you replied in a thread it automatically subscrbed you to it. I was trying to figure out why NOTHING was showing up in my User CP

Does that also lower the car? Cos my thinking is I don't want to lower the car before I determine what tire size/poke I want or am I totally offbase here

Street basis and advance are great kits. I wouldn't plan on slamming the car with either, though. Mine have been on for 50k miles give or take. No rust, no noises, no leaks, damping still works, car always rode great. The street advance is like $60 more depending on what car you fitna buy them fo. I'd buy those for the damping force adjustability

Good to know, thanks I didn't wanna slam it cos I still want the car to be functional and drive like it was supposed to, just enough to make it aggresive

Thanks Johnny...now I'm so used to it I think I'll leave it.

SA is only $60 more than Basis? That's insane...SS used to be like $500 more than the basics (before they changed the names).

I think my car was pretty low...with no negative camber (+a half inch, visually)...I got told I was slammed plenty. My SS have 75K miles on them and still ride just as smoothly!

Yeah, THmotorsports.com has really good pricing on Tein stuff...and great deals on ST/KW stuff. I'm not a big fan of Koni yellow/GC combos for DD use...but they got those cheap as well

Tein SA's usually end up like $60-90 more than SB's. I've bought like 6 or 7 sets of different coilovers from them in the past year.
