Yeah I run autocross every once and a while. I might do 3 events a summer. So I wasnt really focused on making a race car. I just like my cars to handle.
As far as ride goes its stiffer then stock for sure. I run them at 5 clicks above full soft. And even then you can feel all the imperfections in the road. I ran them at full stiff for a day and it rattled my interior like crazy. I still have to get the car aligned so I really haven't been able to "test" her out.
But for a crappy alignment and balding tires I can take on ramps at a very high rate of speed and the car feels as if its barely breaking a sweat.

Naw, Its more like everything fell together at once.
The next big upgrade is crash bolts and DCR Rear Control Arms. That way I can get this sexy beast aligned. I also have to hammer the pinch weld in the front wheels wells flat. Its leaving gashes in my tire right now.

Looks amazing.
But, I have a question that has probably been asked before...
Why do you have the molding left on one door?

haha, yeah as you can see I removed the drivers side and the passenger door. Well the passenger door paint peeled a LOT. So I didnt want to risk it when it came to the rear door. I have to get some 3M tape and put it back on.

Dude, I don't know how you're going to survive the D-town streets like that. My coilovers are about an inch higher, and I have to swerve everything over there. Shitty @$$ streets.
I have some rear ebach camber bolts if you need them. (15 shipped) I didn't end up needing them with mine.

Yeah its crazy low. Ive been bottoming out on everything. I have to things at a 70* angle just so I dont bottom out. I cant do speed bumps or parking garages. I just simply cant. There are also places I can go anymore. Like the Wendys by my place. I just can get into their parking lot. But oh well, you got to pay to play I guess. If the VW guys can do it so can I.
Oh as far as the camber bolts Im gona need some for the front. But the rears Im gona run DCR control arms.
I really appreciate all the positive comments guys! Keeps me motivated to do more to her.

by Mopar_Korean
I dont have any tower bars. Ive been thinking of making a true Triangulated set tho.
As far as sway bars I have the stock front and a 24mm Progress 3 way adjustable rear one. I also just ordered my DCR rear control arms last night too.

Don't know how I missed this thread for so long! Looks killer dude, I wish I could afford some c/o's. Does anyone know if it costs extra to upgrade the spring rates when ordering these?

Hmmm....rims. I really dont know. I may be interested in some RT rims. Other then that I really dont like many after market rims. Im sticking with 16's and I think bronze will really set the silver off. The black w/ machine lip is WAY over played.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who feels that way!
On another note, bronze and silver don't go good together at all IMO. I'd say go for black wheels, preferably flat. Then again, I'm biased

The only bronze wheel I really like was the Falken Hanabi. But I dont think they are made anymore and I dont want 17's.

READ THE POSTS IN THE THREAD ABOUT THE SIDE MOLDING! Ive talked about it on the first page and at the top of this page. I dont waste my time typing all this to exercise my fingers!
As for rims, I have no problem running my snowflakes. Ive actually been thinking of getting them refinished this winter. I also have a set of Pontiac Fiero rims I could throw on there. They are a wider and more aggressive offset. The only problem is they also need to be refinished and 1 is cracked. Either way I want my rims to be flush with my fenders and I may run a mild stretch on the tires.
*Puts on flame suit* I know its not for everyone.
I could go crazy and get some 0 offset wheels. Or some custom made steelies. Something like this:
Fiero Rims (holy crap! Old ass pics!)
