Talking New mods.

Here's my car with a couple of new mods: Eibach lowering springs and painted brake calipers.

What do you guys think?

I think I am going to stop modding my SC4 now.

GS offset is wrong for the SC.

On another note. your car is coming along nicely. we all know you cannot stop modding the SC

Thanks for all the kind words, guys. I appreciate it.

I know....

Without spacers, my 255/40/17 rear tires actually look like 205s because they're so tucked in my rear wheel fenders.

LOL... John you're going to make me go bankrupt sooner than I thought.

Thank you for the compliments.

I think my last mod. is going to be the clear front corner lights on the fender.

Are you using the stock shocks? How's the ride quality now compared to stock.

Looks good BTW

Yeah man I was going to say clear sidemarkers would look really cleran, I like the silver of the calipers good job man, like I said very clean. I just did my sidemarkers and the cost is nothing but it is verty timeconsuming, well worth it. Even my Mom noticed

Thanks guys.

Technics: The ride quality actually isn't that bad. Yes I am running them with stock shocks but surprisingly, they still ride softer than my BMW. However, I would say they're still much stiffer than the stock setup.

HotBoy: Any tip on the DIY clear sidemarker?
