Future mods are going turbo charged, paint, new exhaust system, converting rear brakes to discs, and hopefully a 6-speed tranny swap. Not exactly in that order.

We have a setup that will lower it about an inch at most. The beta tester loves his setup, and is ready to experiment with other springs. I need to find out what the price is to make a set if this is something you are interested in.

They are $800 shipped for 4 KYB GR2s setup with coil overs and new strut mounts all around as well. You can then experiment with other springs if you want it lower or stiffer/not as stiff.

just an idea... if you wanna go lower completely cut the welds and drop the threads all the way to the bottom like the one I have.... I know it would be time consuming but grinding with a controlled amount of water drippping on the grinder blade will prevent the overheat...
