Today I threw some strut bars on

Nice bars!! Been looking at those for a while, only thing is I don't know if the front will clear the Aristo motor? Any idea?

I added a 4th pedal this morning.

Yup, we're very lowered friendly and will tell you exactly what you need to achieve whatever you may be trying to do. We've been doing alignments for Stillen's employee personal cars




My rack is in ground so you don't need to go up some wooden contraption and scrape your car

I don't see why not? It says it's for the JZS161 chassis and the part is Japanese so I'd only assume it fits I have a few inches of room between the bar & my engine

Good to know, I might have to hit you up soon for an alignment. In ground racks ftw.

Does the front and/or rear strut bars make much difference on the GS? Chassis seems pretty good as it is.

So decided to keep the GS for a little longer. Polished the headlights, touched up the front bumper that just looked awful. with plasti-dip glossifier and touch up paint, it looks so much better. Also changed the brakes from OEM rotors with akebono pads to brembo blanks and powerstop z33 pads and it suprisingly stops better, not sure about dust though.

Default Changed the master cylinder, still no booster

I changed the MC after I lost boost and the buzzer and lights came on. Now trying to figure out how to reset the ABS ECU.
