Default Suspension upgrade!

I am sooooooooooo stoked! I got the TEIN FLEX coilovers w/TEIN stress bar in the rear, TRD sways, front and rear camber kits, S & S Headers w/full Tanabe exhaust system (love the shiny bulbous canisters). I didn't realize how much the ride has changed with the mods. It handles and performs like a chunky race/track car; I love it! The next step will be to get the front & rear braces, then the body and paint shop. Three weeks after it has been dropped off, the project will be completed. Um so happy!

I'll throw it up on the lift Thursday and have you check it out. And yes, it's stiff! I like the way how it jumps when on the road. Handling - On the one! It will take getting use to! Much love!

I'm a lil discouraged 'cuz I don't have the body and paint done, but the runs like a champ! I went to my mechanic Saturday and he didn't show up (??). When I see him this week, I'll throw it up on the lift and I'll snap a few pics. My friend just bought a car like mine (same color, different model and year). Both cars will be on display at CL when body and paint jobs are complete (EOY). I'm on the tail end of another project, so I gotta pace myself . . . If all ends well, I'll be stylin' with (2) rockets at my disposal. The ladies are already dubbing me "The Black James Bond" . . . . -whoa-!
