Got some free Tein S.Techs, and sold my old Prodrives and picked up these DR-31s, fit much better.

Just scooped some Cusco Zero-1 coilovers Sunday, they've been sitting in dudes garage for almost 5 years so they're a little rough, but the price was worth the effort to restore. I got all the collars free, all the camber bolts came out without breaking, dampers rebound and have plenty of resistance, and I got some new dust boots coming from Cusco (6-8 weeks from Japan). All thats left is to break the bottom portion of the struts (where they mount to the vehicle) free, gonna take them to work where I can actually use a vice, the floor in the garage isnt working for me haha.



Starting the teardown:



Soaking in Coke to break rust free:


Camber plates before and after cleaning up:


Prepping for paint:




Also got some HIDs a couple weeks ago, Xentec 35w bi-xenon for the headlights (they're suppost to be 5000k, but they look like 6000k to me, eBay, meh). And got the fogs, Xentec 35w 6000k, for free from a buddy.

Aaaand she's dead. Got rear ended last week and they declared it a total loss yesterday. On the hunt for a replacement.
