    Many changes - dirty car

    Spent 8 hrs on the front suspension last night: replaced the outer tie rods, control arms, added Treehouse racing cabs, H&R Race front and rear springs (extra 10mm spring pad added to the rear), Kopis, Goodyear F1 GS-D3 215/40-17. Also new is the Bosch Euro ellipsoid :D s.

    The ride is much firmer than the H&R sports were, and I love it. Not sure about the rear pad added, it makes for a tiny bit of sway, but I needed it to clear the tires. Can't tell much about the THR cabs because everything else was changed too, but it definitely handles better than before. Tires need to settle in before I can push it but I like them so far.

    I'm definitely no TJ, but once I get it cleaned/polished/waxed, I will take some better pics. If someone would make me a new sig pic, I would appreciate it.

      Wow. Kopis are a BIG improvement over the MMII's IMO. Very nice as usual Bobby.

            MUCH BETTER! DAS BMR looks amazing. The front looks 1000x's better then in your sig.

            Didn't you have the US ellips before? What happened to them?

              Thanks guys.

              No B, I had Hella H4/H1s. They were okay, but these are better.

                          Noice. That car is slammed. Its amazing how suspension and wheel swaps can completely change the look of the car.

                            Incredible. Your car is one of the cleanest and nicest on the boards - yet it still keeps getting better.

                            I'm in awe.
