LsBeema 452 Report post Posted April 10, 2021 Quick clean and spray before installing. Couldn't fit such a quality set without making it a tad tidy. Just a quickone for now... Panel and paint after the cert. Really enjoyed this stage of the build. Jap stance soon ay😅 Front way too lower than the rears. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LsBeema 452 Report post Posted April 11, 2021 (edited) Rides not firm enough. Started with height adjustment, now, will go to spring rate, that will affect height, get those 2 close, then alignment, then damping and rebound. What a huge difference...well i knew it would be. But how the car puts this power down now is freakin AMAZING!!. Have it on min spring rate...will adjust. After cert...looking forward to getting the appropriate camber, toe, wheel & tyre size to put this and more Power down. This stage changed the whole build in me. Admiring Mr VQs way of his project and fitting this set sparked up a different path. Lets see😎🤓 Edited April 11, 2021 by LsBeema Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LsBeema 452 Report post Posted June 30, 2021 One of the most rewarding days of my life. Final fix & tidy before cert inspection tomorrow. So rewarding. The wash yesterday, remembering the first wash.of the car 3 years ago, and now she sits all this work done to her(around 600-700hrs). Around 4 hrs of repair today, with the final wipe down being the highlight. WoW!! Straight up!!! 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
