Yes after having my coilovers for 6 months I finally got around to putting them on my car here before and after shots. :D

This is before

Woo look at that wheel gap. Looks like and Chevy S10. :(

So much better :)

Less gap= hottness :ylsuper

Represent Foo!!!

Now that I got this done. I need to work on a turbo kit and the body work. Then my car will be the sex. :D

They are the D2 coilovers I got back in march from the big group buy. I really like them and they helped the handling a lot. i am still fine tuning the struts though. I droped it 2 inches all the way around.

Hehehe... after about 6-8 months, I too finally got my d2 coilovers installed, as well as a vlsd, and front and rear z-brakes, and 300zx rear uprights, and subframe spacers(i figured i should get them while the subframe was dropped)..

All I have to say is that it's a whole lot of work to do it all at once. I'm never undertaking such a massive summer project again... I'll do it piece by piece like normal people. :( And I'm still trying to work out some quirks.

Anyway.. the car looks a lot better. I don't think my 240 was dropped as much as yours.. but I'm just glad that the nasty fender gap is gone. I have about 3 and a half fingers of gap all around. It looks good.

Awsome man. thats a lot of crap to do at once. I had to replace my Strut rod bushings when I did all this. I was gonna swap all the bushings, but I was lazy :D.

Edit: I also dropped mine a little more because I am gonna run a 50 series tire so I wanted it to still look nice.

Yeah.. eta was about 3 weeks. But only about 2 weeks of actual work because I had to wait on more parts to arrive. Plus, I was working alone at my own pace, so I just took my time.

and i got lazy toward the end, I just wanted to rush and finish so I could drive it :D

Man I am gonna take pics of it. I'll even get pics of the busted 1600 roadster as well. As for now this is all I got. 56k and uploading pictures is not a good time.
