Ultra Blue Metallic. I'm wanting to do my calipers and some other stuff Some of the stuff I already have is red powdercoated, and I was thinking of keeping that, but then I thought Silver or Yellow might look ok too. Yellow would probably stand out too much though.....


TTII's will be on this car eventually too....but I don't want it too flashy.

BTW, yes those are Eibachs and yes the car will have new paint when I accent the calipers (it'll have rear calipers too by that time).

yeah yellow only goes with yellow.......and black but everything goes with black

Go with blue like TPI383 said, or a silver/polished/chrome.....something shiny

They're the Sportlines....2' in the front 1.5 in the back IIRC.

They definately are low. I have to use my scissor jack to get my car up enough to use my hydraulic jack.

Speedbumps=1MPH

Inclined Driveways=park on the street


I've been thinking about raising it back up to stock heighth (I bought it like this, but got the stock springs too) but I really do like the way it sits/rides. You literally have to sink into it and climb out of it though.
