FINALLY! Have been wanting to do these mods since I bought this car back in June of '05.

Rundown of set up:

16X7 Spun Supermeshes
Tokico HP Series shocks (all 4)
Tanabe DF210 springs.

Few pics from a mini-photoshoot I did today.

Enjoy.

Thanks all. The Tokico's set me back about $280 from Ptuning minus shipping. Ptuning is located in my hometown so... shipping wasn't an issue.

ha ha ha car looks great, but before I looked at your profile I was like "This totally looks like it's somewhere in VA" too funny everything looks the same in this whole damn state lol

Thanks. Yeah a lot of VA looks the same! I still can't figure out why haha

Looks sweet. How is the ride compared to the stock struts/ shocks? Hopefully it's smoother than the stockers were.

bB2NER- The ride is a bit smoother than stock. The bumps don't seem to be as JARRING as stock. I've had a couple passengers in the back say it was a little more bumpy but, not jarring or super uncomfortable. (I don't have to ride in the back so OH WELL! haha)

I am personally happy with the set up. Nice drop and I feel the box is more planted to the ground now with the upgrades.

Makes a huge difference when the struts/shocks actually allow the suspension to soak up the bumps instead of passing them on to the riders.

Yeah the Monroes may or may not have been smoother than the Tokico's but, it's ok. I think it worked well for me.

Looks super classy all together! I have always loved those wheels and the gold was the right choice ( I like the balck wheels too but there are a lot more running around)

Thanks greybox. I have never been a fan of black wheels. They are too common but, to each their own. I'd still take a set of black wheels WAYYY before a set of white ones though.

Good to hear!

They're much better looking than the Konig caps.
