You said you had adjustable upper control arms for the front and rear, just wondering what brand and where you got them from. Keep up the great build it looks awesome!

I like the PBM coils. A great choice for me they go very low, and they are a quality piece.
The ride quality is good when set on softer settings but when set to stiff they are very stiff as well.

UPDATE just picked up a hx35 yesterday so my single turbo will be happening within the next couple weeks or months.

Well it's been awhile since I updated this, The action shots are from the 2012 Evergreen grassroots events still trying to dial in the car and make some more power and suspension tuning. I have the car all torn apart right now to get painted and a couple new things in the works i'll keep this updated a little more now!
