For ride quality and looks you can't go wrong with the FMS B springs. The ride won't be as harsh as with the C's and its not a in the weeds amount of drop. Its a nice compromise.

Idk Paul, mine rides just like stock with the Cs. Also, Cs sit relatively high comparatively to an Eibach Sport or the like. I had to cut my Cs a little to get em low enough. But I certainly agree, coil overs are great, but cost way too much for me.

Got off early today and was able to install the American Thunder cat back ...went real smooth except I had to have the wife run to get me longer bolts..
I liked the Borla's but I wanted to go back to rear exhaust and a little more agressive sound again....see that I need to sand and paint a little under the car....



and a little something to hit the bass at the beginning of Thunderkiss

haha, I make more than I should but I spend more than I used to...i don't quite understand the logic

As for the project, the main reason I haven't gotten too many pictures out is simply because I absolutely hate the idea of showing off my car when it's not completed. I have lots of pics of it at it's current state, but I'm so excited to have a solid "Finished" thread that just shows the end result.

I think my patience turned to lack of motivation for a while, but ever since I got down to VA to pick up my 358, I've been digging in hard trying to get the details taken care of. Last peice I'm missing is a simple set of 83 GT mounts to keep the engine lower in the bay. There's other peices I'll need, but I'm not too worried about'em yet.

OK I'll stop jacking your thread now haha

Cheers,

Thanks a lot......I am close to finishing the planned project......BUT I don't like it wingless...I have a wing that should be finished this weekend ...it had a run under it so it needs to be fixed......I see some SN's that can pull off the no wing look...and they look awesome...I think a good raised hood, wide azz 315's, tinted window and a nice drop look good with no wing......have you got a pic of yours without the wing?


MM.....I have decided that I will drop it....seems to be the consensus......
It will be a little bit due to I am not a fan of charging parts on the cc and I want to due it right with ALL the correct parts so it may take a little while..have a few more things going with the current project....I'll make a deal with you Jinx...I'll drop it when you get the MM back on road duty.....
