sometimes one simply cannot wait for the build to start, and needs to share right away. i understand the excitement.

But we should get at least ONE picture... of the car or at least the springs he buys (which is the exact same old set of df210s I have in my garage collecting dust) bust something visual should be posted... not a "Stay Tuned"

Its only because I got blue ***** thats all... haha sounds like a good build, but for a better build Id do coilovers (like I just did) speaking from experience, those Tanabes arent gonna drop enough to do those Vossens justice... spend the extra few hundred and get a better and more adjustible suspension.
