Well all the suspension goodies I ordered from SPL finally came in Friday. I was getting ready to run at Ennis, so waited until Saturday to install everything. 2 hours worth of alignment work later, I had myself a totally transformed car. Everything feels like it was improved...handling, acceleration, braking, you name it. Pain in the *** to get up my driveway now while trying to angle a RWD car with a helical LSD

Enjoy the pics!

Beautiful. Are the Silvia emblems new too?

I love everything - from the painted taillights, to the fat tires, to the big front mount.

Yes, had the new emblems put on a couple weeks back. And I'm surprised you noticed the painted taillights, most people overlook them

Yeah, I think the suspension brought it all together. Your car was already nice, but the new stance makes it look even better.

What suspension setup did you have before?? How do the KTS coils compare?

Depends on what the wheels' offsets are and what size rubber you plan on running. It can be done though.

I was riding on stock suspension before, so I don't really have anything to compare it to. This is a mean street setup though

They are Enkei PK-6's. Saw them on a white 350Z and fell in love with them.

A bunch of us from http://www.dallasimports.net are rolling up there this Friday. We went last Friday and I got in a couple runs, best of which was a 13.805 @ 102mph. Now that I got the suspension installed and dialed in, I'm looking for 13.5's. I don't use AIM very much, but I'll try and get on some time.

Rolled the front fenders, rolled and pulled the rear

Very nice, I am officially jealous, and I don't get that way often. I will look into SPL and see what they have for the S13. I need new tierods anyways, I think.
