Small updates, painted and built the Tein Coilovers
Also my stock studs, stuck out past the 1" bolt on spacers stopping the wheel from being bolted up so I found these shorter studs to press in place of. a little excited to see what 1 3/8" spaced rear wheels look like. Either going to love it or hate it. Worst case will turn the bolt on spacers down to a smaller size and ditch the "bolt on" part and just run them as regular spacers and i have a set of longer ARP studs i can put in place then
So that's it, still fighting the damn rear of the car. Rust is my enemy on the ebrake cables right now and brake lines aren't my friends.
damn nice work on those teins, sir! I just picked up some basics with OEM mounts on them. I had no idea the basics had no dampening adjustment so that was a disappointment to say the least. got a hell of a good deal on them so I guess I cant complain.
RIP silver car. You will be missed.
Horrible pictures I know. However I got most the rear assembled. Didn't mount calipers yet. Realized I didn't have any Allen sockets for the damn hub bolts all my nice stuff is at work.. problems of working at home when 90% of tools are at work. However wanted to throw the wheel on and see this new spacing.
kind of love it..
Keep in mind this is without coilovers in too.first two pictures are probably about where the car will sit. The others after were just first looking at it and seeing clearance, i won't lower it that much. I have other priorities for this car that drivability will be a bigger concern, not being ridiculously impractical low

Awesome job man. Looking real good
Thanks guys, excited to get the car buttoned up and on the ground for sure. I feel like i'm almost committing a crime though. Could easily run a 8.5" wide wheel now which would really help set the look off but once on ground it shouldn't be much of a eye sore.
me too, it works well. luckily this nice weather means the patio cushions are back outside and the tote is back in the hooptie lol. garage is a clutter @!#$ with a immovable j in there.. J houses plenty of goodies inside it as well as storage
Looks great man, keep up the fantastic work!

Well I skipped gym after work tonight and made more progress. Got the rear all buttoned up and on the ground. Then got the rogjt front buttoned up. Driverside is left then the fun process of bleeding brakes and get the front on.
Looking good! Was wondering what IF sides would look like with that rear bumper, I like it though.
The IF sides and Xtreme rear line up just as I wanted. Amazingly.
Man that looks good bro. it makes me want to not steel the car and start over

Why is it that it wont move? Thats about as low as my car and mine moves fine.
I think thats the stance you want...looks amazing!
