A dude i found on craigslist man. He was parting out a hit car and probably ran out of steam and let them go cheap. I only discussed the sides with him for that price but he brought the lowers and door moldings with him as well. It was a surprise.

The rear bumper was a special from Gazi (Aliga). Have you met him? If not, you should. He is an awesome resource. Parts and knowledge!

Also in Queens.

Thanks Matt!
I swerved off of the Bilstein order when I found out they were not sure when they would have them They need to be built.
I ordered BC Racing BR series coilovers today. They should be here friday or monday.
What are you going to do for suspension?

Exclamation Fenders Rolled-BC Racing Coilovers installed-Alignment(during tropical storm Andrea)~

Hey,
Fenders Rolled and Coilovers installed.
I have raised the car for the third time since they went on last night. I was rubbing like crazy.
It's better today but the front bottoms out far to dramatically.

The handling however has made me fall EVEN MORE in love with this car. My suspension was blown out in the rear and i can really tell now that i have these installed.

I cant really dig in yet as i am in fear of rubbing/bottoming out at all times. The city is packed for the PR day parade tomorrow so "Hard Parked" in traffic is the best you can do until monday at least.

This is NOT right yet, but it is still the best thing I have done to this car so far.

We were going to pull the rear but found a bit of bondo in the right inner fender. Cant pull till i'm ready for body work. We did however give it the best roll we could.
Camber is maxed out at 3.5 or so the alignment guy said. You can see it from the rear.
I told him ive seen Sc's with "CRAZY" camber and he said that the suspensions were modified somehow. Is this true?
