Nothing crazy or anything, I just thought I would whore it up a little bit with before and after pics of my Buddy Club coilover install. The before pics are with Tein S-Techs installed, not stock springs, so the drop isn't quite as drastic as it would have been otherwise. This is the start of my suspension build and yes, the TEIN stickers will go away soon...



And one of the not-quite-finished SR:

Looks great. Those are also my favorite Nissan wheels of all time.

No, I just wanted the additional performance benefit of a nice set of coilovers. Plus, my front struts were both blown so instead of spending money on struts that I wouldn't be happy with I just went a little further and got the Buddy Clubs. Thanks again to Broadfield for hooking me up with a great deal.

I haven't had her out yet, but I have this sneaking suspicion that it's going to be stiff. And that's fine because my 240 is not my daily driver. See the Hummer in my sig for that.

I'm going to run a 225 50 16 Hoosier racing slick on the SE wheels and Toyo RA-1's sized 235 40 17 for the street depending upon which brake setup I wind up going with and whether or not I can run the RA-1's at the Winged Warrior event (if I get picked to participate that is). If I can't use the RA-1's, I'll probably use the T1R.

Here is a pic of the 17's that I'll use for a while until I get the rest of my suspension put together. I've decided that some phat, baller rimz are last on my list of priorities and I have had these sitting around for quite some time:

They look a hell of a lot better than your old springs. Trust me, the Buddy Clubs ride really nice. I rode in Toby's car when he had them on, and they were surprisingly smoother than my Tein Basics.
