    no more 4x4

    well finally got the time to install my new suspension, as well as a handful of other things.

    1) suspension:
    eibach pro springs
    bilstein sport shocks
    new RSMs
    new control arms
    spacers (15mm in back)
    toyo t1-r tires

    2)euro plate
    3)new fog light
    4)mtech II rear spoiler

    its stiffer than stock for sure, but not as pleasing as i had hoped, so this summer i plan to upgrade to ie stage IIIs and new CABs. the olds CABs looked solid upon inspection, but not solid enough after removing them.

    anyways, i had to borrow my moms camera cause i had lent mine out. i couldnt figure out the menus on her canon POS, so the pictures are not my best work. however, #1 was taken with my camera so i have super high res if wanted.

    Looks great! I normally can't stand the GTS kit, but your car looks really good! I really like it with the M-Tech II wing, I've never seen that combo before, and it also looks really good with the Type-C's. I'm really quite impressed, your car really looks very nice. I'm actually kind of surprised that I like a GTS-kitted car so much, but I really can't find any fault in yours. Looks a million times better lowered. The Pro-kit is definitely a looks-only suspension kit, not really much in the way of handling, they can be very soft. You'll be happier with the IE III's when you switch to them. I have them, and I love them, and they're awesome with the Koni's.

        Car looks awesome, I really like your tailights, are they entirely red (everypart) ? They look awesome.

        BTW Eurospeed have you never seen Randy Sparre's old Electron Blue E30?
        That also had the Rieger GTS w/ M Tech II wing.

          Oh yeah, forgot about his car. He didn't have GTS side skirts though, he had M-Tech II side panels with Civic Si skirts at the bottom.

            ^ Yup, thats what I think really set the car off and made it gorgeous. To each his own, but the GTS sides arent my cup of tea.

            On-Topic, I still think straight6's setup turned out great.

                Never been a fan of the wheels, or the kit, but looks good nonetheless. AWESOME back drops.

                  shadowline looks great. i've never wanted to do it really because i thought it looks fine already...after looking at your pictures though i'm changing my mind i think.

                  not a fan of the borbets and the kit isn't something i find all that great looking, but you know what you like so keep going with it. btw, how much are your windows tinted?

                    your car is always so clean, looks good lowered. I dont think the type C's go with the kit too much though seeing as its so aggressive.
