I originally bought this car as my winter beater, but one thing kinda leads to another. I know its a little dated so I bought a few things to to make it looks a little more modern. also I've been searching for a few different style body kits and grilles and really like the NEW's body kit. If I do go that route I'll definitely be getting rid of the 2-tone as that definitely makes it look older.

Just finished installing the Tein S.Tech springs and new rims today. Vertini Hennessey 20x10 +35 all the way around and 20mm H&R Spacer in the rear. I have abour 3mm of clearance to the strut towers front and back LOL. It's not quite VIP style or anything yet or nothing really to brag about but I'm happy with the way it turned out. I do need a kit and repaint it but that will be further down the line

At that height and as close as the fender is to the tire, I'm thinking if you start to bounce or carry passengers and go over a bump you're going to rub the bottom of the fenders.

Even though it is lower the springs rates are harder than factory, but yet still comfortable. I test drove it pretty hard the first day. turning hard side to side to get it to rock and no rubs, went in driveways at full speed and no rubs and over speeds bumps with no problem. I haven't tried with any passengers yet, but I plan to get new KYB struts anyways because 2 of my struts are on their way out. But all in all I'm very pleased with the results

Nah, thats what my bagged GS is for. This is just my daily driver which I told myself was going to be my winter beater and now its my summer beater with nicer rims. Not likely going to go all out on this, got more important things to save for
