Yeah, 16kg rear because of it's trailing arm design. Still a bit high though but it'll work out.
The front's are in, and my entire brake setup. Everything is daisies
Bad part however, my hoshinos don't clear these brakes. I have to get probably a 5-10mm spacer to run them in front. The mesh and rewinds BARELY clear. Another bad part is that I'm having a little trouble getting the top nut off the rear coilover to remove the pillball mount. It'll all soon come together

Ok guys, I accomplished something today and I'm pretty proud. The rear is in.
But first off, I covered some holes and sealed them off. Looking pretty good. Only those two small holes left in the firewall and I'm all plugged up.
So here are the rear coilovers disassembled
LUCKILY, the pillowball upper mount sleeves were the exact size I needed. It fit directly into one side of the bottom mount and the hole was the exact size of the bolt that mounts it. Perfect.
It only filled up half of the bottom mount though, so I found these at orchard to fill in the rest of the hole
Top went in
Bottoms are mounted, washers are fit in to fill up the length of the mount
And there you have it, with my 5x8 16kg rear springs
Here again with my brakes in
And with the wheel on, this is how it looks in the air and no horrible *** camber(yet) Yup, no more droopy wheel when I jack up the front or rear. That **** is tight, it'll go lower don't worry
Front's again

Oh yeah, the bottom mounts are great. It's super tough nylon, haha. It'll hold I'm sure. If it doesn't it'll just crack and still be in there, and I'll change it out. Alls well right now

^sadly no, I don't have max spacers
copied from clubs12
So I spent pretty much the entire morning fixing things here and there, putting the sway bar on and etc etc. I seriously spent ****ing forever putting that addco rear sway bar in because at first(for a long long time) it didn't seem to fit. It just didn't line with the mounting locations, after finding out that it was indeed the correct part number I just hulked the **** out of it until it fit. Also, I tried using the addco endlinks that came with the swaybar and I have to warn you guys that my sway bar was actually hitting the trailing arms because it was a short endlink. It might be because how high up the arms are(because of the lowness), but the z31 endlinks that came with the master bushing kit worked out great because it was about 1 1/2 inch longer. More great news, I found out my rear calipers are seized. The piston most likely rusted to **** inside while they were laying around for half a year. I might just get rebuilt ones with a core exchange. I'd rebuild them but I'm sure as hell they are rusted to all damnation. Anyway, a couple pics
