As for suspension, it is the stock springs and shocks, but with the Exact Motorsports front RCA that lowers 38mm (About 1.5") and Sage rear RCA that lowers 30mm (About 1.1") Up and down ride is stock, but cornering is stiffer with less body roll due to the Daizen sway bars. Truthfully, I like the firmer suspension I had with the coilovers, so I may go back to them in the future. Unfortunately, our county laws state you can't pass annual safety inspection with a lowered car without first obtaining what they call a reconstruction permit. I had to remove my last suspension because of that. With the RCA, they can't see the modification unless they really look for it.

Also, this bar had less clearance than the Carson/Carson replica one. Even with the modifications I did to fit the yellow one it still rubbed. Had to make more temp modifcations and I have 1/16" clearance now. I really like this new brace, but I was going to buy another same brace as the yellow one, but they didn't have any at the time.
The Tom's plates in theory makes sense and probably works, but I can't feel any affect at all. I got them for a good price and bought it more for the looks and the "What the he'll, why not" factor.

Around $100 or so. Bought it from a local shop. It's the LED board type. I reaced every interior light including the doors except for the driver and passenger footwell lights. Those use a mini bulb that I have found a replacement for yet.

The yellow one actually fit better. Reason is the C-One is made for the JDM Aristo with everything flip flopped. If you notice in the two pictures the relay box next to the battery, the one with the C-One is crooked. The base doesn't fit under it like the Yellow one. There is a slot cut out on the other base but it's on the wrong side for the USDM car. I'll have to shave my own slot.
