Stage 1 almost completed!!!!
Well after almost 12 hours of nonstop hard work my car is nearing stage 1 completion (just some small trouble shooting and settings left to do). I will take pictures later today so you can actually see normal ride height. If anyone is interested in a particular photo that you would like me to take lemme know. At normal ride height the rims stick out of the fender maybe 2 mm or so for those who have any fitment curiosities. Mods include - Air runner suspension, Full Wald kit, Tanabe exhaust and new shoes (Junction produce Scaras, very classic wheels if anyone knows about them). Wheel specs and tires are in my sig. DISCLAIMER!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am not passing my car off as VIP (since i know very well its not a VIP chassis) However I am going for VIP inspired. I dont have the Ings kit so my car doesnt sit on the ground like the white IS does here in Hawaii, but rest assured its fricken low.. =) enjoy
Kit Number 3. All 3 so far in Hawaii.
heres the front slammed
Back/side shot slammed. 2-3 degrees or so of negative camber

Umm well MSRP prices are as follows (if you have any friends that work in tuner shops you wont pay MSRP because its fricken retardedly expensive)
Air runner kit w/o installation = 4.2kish. If you install the air at a shop (for example here in hawaii we have Revision Audio) they charge over 1k just to install it.
according to [URL="http://www.l-tunedparts.com/product/?id=1848[/URL] Ltuned parts puts each wheel at 1000 + shipping. Easy to swap the wheels on yourself so installation is free.
Wald kit is about 2.2k unpainted. A good shop will probably charge around 1k or so jsut to paint the kit. installation is in japanese so its hard to understand. The pictures only help so much though =( to much crap on the instruction to really follow what you need to do.
Will post normal ride height pics as soon as i get a camera availbale to me
