Just an update.
I picked up coilovers on Wednesday @ 9pm (late night trading) from Garasi Auto. I highly recommend this shop, they have great prices and as you know I'll always hunt for the best price. Plus its run by a fellow Ozhonda member... The custom spring rates were no problem at all and service was extremely fast!
As soon as I got home I went straight to work, removing stock coils to make room for the BC Racing BR Types14k Front and 10K Rear.
Install was extremely straight forward and Im 100% certain that buying suspension brand new is a must. Everyone seems to lie flatout with suspension components, all Bullsh!t about how many Km's they have done, or when they bought them.. Trust me BC's are as good if not better than any crap Buddy Club is putting out. And atleast BC's warranty is usuable with representatives all over Oz.
Enough of my banter. I then put on the Enkei 92's and went for a quick troll around my block.. I felt so uplifted. Even with my hands covered in 14 yo gunk from under the car, I still couldnt help but smile and turn up some shick tunez.
Today I adjusted heights, 1 finger gap all round... Im scrubbing only at times when the car is bumped around or under sharp cornering. This mainly due to running dampers on super soft & gaurds are not yet rolled (ox...?????? hahaha)
anywayz.. Went out for dinner with some mates tonight and Im getting quite concerned with the cars presentation. One comment was 'dude, your brace - no interior and fitment is enough for cops to scout out your car'.... sheeittt! lol I was living happily in denial, before this comment. So now I gotta drive smarter for awhile and decide how im gonna deal with it as a daily and not as a track stripped/roll bar'd/stance mobile. Im thinking about just removing c pillar brace, putting rear seats back in and giving that a whirl for some time..
Oh.. and before I forget, delivery man came today when I was out in the garage, missed him by 2 minutes! I was so gutted... Left a calling card with instructions to pick up my front strut bar tomoz
So my route tomorrow is Hawthorn PO (TOWER STRUT BRACE)- Endeavour Hills (949RACING 6UL) - Fish n Chips (Burger w/ lot) - Catching up with mates (Beer)
