Thanks bro, interior work actually just started this weekend and is gonna go through the rest of the season. I've got some big things coming these next few weeks, already got a new head unit and sound system with a 10 inch sub. I'll post some pics up later. And it's a Axle-back I got made at a friend's exhaust shop, bolts up where the stock mufflers bolt up.

Thanks for the write up! I am going to be installing these coilovers soon.
Car looks great, I want the same type of look, can you please tell me how many inches the drop on your car is? Doesn't look slammed, looks just right!

Suspension Update
Haven't been posting as much as I should but I figured I'd drop a little update on the car, after doing the coilovers on the car I got an itch for suspension and went ahead and replaced everything except inner tie rods and got some Serialnine RCAS installed. In the process, I found my solution to the 65mph wheel shake. At first, I got 2005 Aristo caster arms and that helped a LOT, however it still shook at times. Surprisingly, sway bar end links helped a lot too. But in the end, I got new tires and got my wheels rebalanced. Found out that a STATIC balance is different than a normal balance, and with camber, a static balance will throw your wheels out of balance. After everything was said and done, my steering wheel shake went away. I still feel a little vibration where it used to be around 60-70mph, however it's only noticeable if you're looking for it. As far as suspension geometry goes, the serialnine RCAs helped a lot but my caster is way off and you can tell by driving it. If anyone has any tips besides the figs caster arm bushings, please let me know.

Exterior Update
Got some new headlights after having a run-in with a deer as well as some new LED tailights from UPGARAGE in Japan.
(don't mind the trailer, got a defective fuel filter that failed within 2 days of installing it)
