Default Sunday Project: Coilovers and Exhaust Install PICS
I have always had Tein Coilovers on all my cars but with the 350 I didn't want to go crazy dumping money into it, so I wanted to stick to a budget. I got the coilovers and exhaust from Curcuit Motorsports who are a vendor here on CL. Awesome service with them and by far the best price around. Everything came in perfect shape and was a breeze to install. The exhaust took 10 mins and the coilovers around 2.5hrs. Most of that time was removing the liners in the rear wheel wells and the trunk liner. I decided to cut access panels in the rear trunk liner for easy adjustment to the coilovers.

Coilovers are BC Racing and the Exhaust is the HKS. Car drives just as good as stock and sounds really nice.

I know just washed driveway pictures are boring but here they are anyway.

Yeah, I'm getting a new bumper cover and lip kit after the winter since mine is a little messed up. I don't want to knock it off this winter.

Congrats on the new parts. I live in jersey and run the bcr coil overs and they ride awesome on the terrible road we have.

Drop before wheels. <3 get some spacers if you don't plan on getting aftermarket wheels for a while.

Yeah the rears need spacers. I have 20" SF7s but really like the stock look. Ideally I am looking for a set of the Graphite stocks.

congrats on the coils & exhaust, but i think those rims will look sick on the car slammed.

Looks reallly nice and clean. I think the wheels look better as well, but stocks look ok. Nice job.
