a bit of an update on my little m with LEDAs

[dr.strangelove]

so i got the front end put together, and yes i still have tons of work to finish the car for the summer, but for now, its driveable. i put in the front LEDA coilovers, the Ground Control camber plates, the IE 25mm front swaybar, new tierods, new aluminum control arms, and the Treehouse CAB's, and lastly brand new wheel bearings.

its a dent in the project, and along with these few pics, i have a couple of the engine bay (needs a cleaning) with the refinished valve cover and plenum along with the sparco bar.

comments welcome, and its still in rough state, still needs more adjustments and tuning.

Lookin REAL good man... small question though: where'd you get BLUE fuses/relays?? They look so much better than the yellowy-orange/black/brown/muck colored ones that come standard.

[dr.strangelove]

to bo honest, im not sure. they came with the car. works for me! thanks for the compliment!

[mikeedler]

wow, looks really nice. how is the stance with those coilovers? how low will they go? looks really nice, next time i am in chicago, i will def. have to look you up.

[dr.strangelove]

well they will lower up to 2" from stock in the front. The stance right now is a tad raked, but i have yet a ways to go to get it all sorted out. I will of course have a shoot up when its all set. Im around here just let me know when youre around!

If I knew where the emoticons were, I'd do the little smiley guy that bows. I was so close to sending my strut housings to Racers Edge instead of G-C. I just couldn't justify the fact that the Ledas were like 3x as much.

You should have titled this thread: "The suspension everyone wants, but noone cane afford"

How is the ride on the Ledas?

Thats one clean engine bay. Love it.

soon to come for the engine bay will be the Gustave wireset. i cant wait to get it all worked out. i want to replace the coolant reservoir, and washer fluid tank, but thats the least of my worries right now. i want to get a shoot together once its all set. depending on how money i have left after the project, i might be mounting my style 5 wheels with new rubber.

heh.

It looks like the the cover has a blue tint to it which makes the fuse's/relays appear a diffrent color. I could be wrong though

[dr.strangelove]

some of the relays truly are blue, its kinda neat!

Where did you purchase your leda coilovers?

[88325isboy]

Badass coilovers man.
