Click on the links and they should have a bunch of pics. When I'm done installing the suspension I'll add some updated pictures to this.

Fuel Pump Recall Replacement Update. Dealership is ordering the parts now and I will take the car back in next week to get fixed. Pick the car up tomorrow and they might be replacing the brake rotors too from the premature wear.

Ordered 12MM Spacers for front and 15MM spacers for Back and will install this weekend when I get the coilovers fixed.

Sunday Autocrossing the car as well with the new setup, looking forward to owning the class :-P

Its the A.D.D. in me, can't ever leave things alone haha

Want to buy a center console with all the buttons to try and wire them up to replace the Bilstein button. Its currently in the glovebox and its too far for normal use, really don't want the button out in the open as I don't like non-stock look.

You installed the coil-overs yourself?

Any pics with the spacers installed?
