Here's mine. I hate the Tein springs. The drop is so tiny and if you pair them with KYB AGX you'll get a ride that is as stiff as coilovers, but not nearly as low.

Zenki's mine too...



The drop and the wheels are fail, though. Once I get coilovers I'l put on my Kosei K1's. They aren't flashy, but I can't find anything worthwhile to exchange them for...

I don't think im going to swap it out anytime soon since it has such good mileage, But ieno really what to do besides add a aem intake or switch out the cams and headers stuff like that.

Well after months of body work and prepping my car i was ready to paint..I also switch it to a pignose before hand and got new rims. Drifz 517 Well before-

And here's after my pj.The ride height is killing me so next comes the suspension, and then till pick n' pulls next 50 percent off sale I'll have to wait for the 5 speed transmission

So what do you think of my first paint job?

that looks really good man. gloss black 240s are sick. definitely get a drop and better fitting wheels. oh and if you're set on springs, get the skunk2 ones. they give the best drop i think

depends on your preference and how many coats you want. 3 coats is is the least amount of coverage which would be about 2 quarts, and also depends on the mixing ratios with reducer and hardner. And i would go with single stage just because its cheaper then bc/cc
