Yeah, so I finally got around to selling my jic sf-1's, but with the stock suspension the car looks like some sort of 60's muscle car (only with no power). I read the recent thread, but I didn't see any solution to the "problem". I've recently ordered tanabe gf210 springs, but I don't think their going to do it in the front. Am I doomed to a life of harsh riding, adjustment pain coilovers, or is there a simpler solution? If it has to be coilovers, it'd be for the front only. So, if anyone out there has a front set that's in reasonable shape, let me know. Thanks ca peoples!!

Soon the car will be ready for it's photo debut...until this point I've been to embarrassed to display for fear of ricer backlash!

i think someone wanting to put coilovers in the front but not the back just to get the correct look is one of the most ricer things you can do man. just get a set of lowering springs and some tokico blues, or kyb shocks.

do it the ghetto way your car will look low but ride like complete as$ and that is the definition of rice.

the car rode like "***" before anyway on matched, high quality coilovers and right now it looks ridiculous, nevermind rice...i'd need coils just to get the thing level and properly aligned...it's got so much positive camber you can see it, and besides all a coilover is, is spring over strut or shock on a threaded perch, the only difference between that and stock is, wait for it, threaded perch...
