    i think i went with the 170lbs springs.

    im gonna get a set of 200lbs so i can try it out on the track.

                  starting to feel the heat.. so i went to the garage and installed the old engine.

                  This one is gonna work as a dummy for the intake,turbo pipes and downpipe fabrication
