slowly progressing..

I finally got a day off today in between school and work and finally got my tires mounted to the *new* stock alloys and put them on my car today no more steelies and spare!! (i had a flat for a little while) LOL

well, here's some pics..

after..





I've gotten my springs and now I'm just waiting for my AGXs to arrive still and then I can go ahead and lower it..

I'll update again once I've gotten those installed!

i got some falken ziex 195/50/15 for a good price..

after suspension and all the necessary maintenance (brakes, tune-up, need a smog check, etc) is out of the way, I'm planning to get an exhaust.. intakes are a waste of $$$ IMO.. so i'm in the process of getting a k&n drop in filter (don't wanna deal with the hassle of having to take anything off for smog purposes here in cali.. which is also why i'm planning to stick with the KA).. hmm, i'm really not sure on what I want to do next.. pulley, cams, header... whichever I have the time (and money) to do first I suppose..

I really want to focus on the performance of the car first before I do anything else with the exterior/looks besides keeping it clean!


Oh, one thing--will I NEED a rear camber adjustment? the drop is going to be about 1.75-2"?

THANKS

Yes you will. Anything lower than like one inch will cause mad camber.

ok thanks.. i was figuring i'd need one.. any suggestions on what kind? PDM has Whiteline rear camber correction bushings that correct it either .75(1 set) or 1.5 (2 sets) degrees.. I just don't know how much of a degree I'll need to correct it. $100 a set!
