yeah... coilovers are on the way. the wheels won't clear on their own but spacers will be used.

thanks to everybody for the feedback so far.

Hey, nice build progress so far. That is a clean looking interior is I say so myself. I think you got a great build ahead of you, I mean you've already got the main parts down... for the most part. To me building a car is like painting, prep work goes a long way. I wish I was more prepared like you, when I was building my LS, and now it sits to wait for winter.... Sad day.

thanks, but i can't do it. this isn't my style and i haven't even covered my basics yet. honestly i'm still on the fence about the ls, won't really know how i feel about it until it's low.

which ones? i change my mind all the time. if you're talkin about the brabus, i allready got em, returned em, and got screwed out of some stacks.

i'm just wantin to get back to work on my q so once i tighten everything up thats what it's gonna be for a minute.

i do have my eyes on some doner lowenharts though that will get em up to par width wise.
