Got the suspension all evened out, back end came down about another inch to make the car sit level, and all four corners are even now, just gotta go get an alignment after I install my subframe collars and rear upper control arms.

And as for the valve covers. They were a gold before, the paint was cracking from three previous colors and poor prep. So I went and had them sand blasted them and painted them with a gun. I was kinda skeptical on the color, they seemed a dark dark maroon in the shade (I was going for a cherry red color), went out and installed them in the car, and once the sun hits them, theyre a super glossy/shiny/sparkly red color. You might also notice Ive kinda cleaned up the engine bay a little bit too. Just gotta do a few more tweeks and such and Ill be happy.

Here are the pics...

This is nowhere near as bad as my old car, and thats what happens when your not even f*** around and understeer on gravel.

Painting the fender next week and a Navan bumper is already on its way.

Lights aswell.
