Busted

I got all the coilovers installed except the driverside rear. I was having a hard time getting the lock nut off the top of the shock sleeve. All the others came off fine, but this one was pretty stubborn.

By the time I got it going, the allen head was beginning to strip out. So I had to drill the allen head out with a power drill. I knew the shock was pretty much trash at this point, but I wanted to salvage the top hat.

I ordered just one shock from O'Riely's but it won't be here until Tuesday, so the car is sitting on jacks stands until then... :(




I have a feeling the rears are going to be dropped pretty significantly... look how much space there is between the top hat and spring still!

Halfway Low

I got the front lowered today. It went pretty easy once I got the forks off. I'm not dropping it too much, just enough to get a little tire tuck, ya know help out the stance a little. It's mostly visible if you notice the fender gap.

Finally Some Style

I picked up some Skunk2 coilovers from EFParts.com. Great deal on em, and should help out the stance on the wagon pretty nicely. Maybe I'll put em on this weekend.


I also picked up some Side Markers, a Center Console from an EF, Yellow JDM foglights with the stock switch and some replacements for my busted widow sills.
