Migs your car is really coming along it looks great! Your car is my favorite pre 97 sc hott!

 

thanks bro.

i think it looks decent. i'm just getting warm..

 

What kind of spring/strut setup your gonna have for sale soon. I can't remember your setup.

 

These are gonna be for sale soon...

Falken springs(mk4 supra spec, discontinued) and kyb gr-2 shocks. Lowers 2" front, 1.9" rear.

this is the drop. pretty aggressive for springs and the ride is actually pretty good.

 

I recently picked up a set of Bilstein full coilovers with the intention of rebuilding them. I wanted to remove all the oxidation and spruce them up a bit, so i started stripping the fugly black paint off, and hit them up with the wire wheel to remove any oxidation. I plan to mirror polish and then clear coat the shock bodies and adjustment perches. These will look/perform better than "New" when i'm done.


Before:



Started stripping the paint and oxidation off with a wire wheel...



This is how it looked after i was done taking the old paint off...



I got them down to the bare metal. Then i dropped them off today to get a full polish...





I will post updated picks when i pick them up from the polishing shop tomorrow..

 

Looking good bro!!

 

Damn dude. Nice job. That first pic of your car with the black rims on it looked just like mine lol car looks awesome though

 

Cool build. Nice work.

 

are those the hp lightnings 19x9.5s with like a 28 offset? what size lip are they hows the fitment in the rear? i want to run the same set up or the new xxr 526s in a 20x11

ive had a set of lightnings in 18x8s loved them but offset and width/lip size was weak and I hope the 19x9.5s fit better

 

Looking good, amazing that those springs gave you that much of a drop, cant wait to see how far you going to drop it now lol

 

yeah, they're hp lightenings 19x9.5 (+20) all around, 4" lip.

mooooooar low

 

no spacers? hows the front and rear fitment?

 

yeah i had 25mm spacers in front and rear. fitment without them is ***, imo.

 

Yay! Got the coilovers back from the polishing shop. I must say they did a good job. Looks waaaaay better in person. I;m still debating on wether or not i should have the springs powder coated gold-ish too. what do ya'll think?










also picked up some extended ARP rear wheel studs since my oem rear studs were tore up.

 

very nice and shiney
