Thanks roc82. :lol:
Already fitted them.
With the coilovers, they are a little hard (as predicted) but only in very slow speeds. In normal speeds its really quite very confortable (im suspect to say, even confortable then stock) :p loll
With the bars and all the other parts, i noticed a very quick response from the stearing, throttle and chassi of the car in taking turnes.. even on fast roads or in canyon roads..
But the true must of them is in trackdays :bounce: loll all the parts together are a must to have!!!! :p

I have a few more parts coming and others already reserved
Lets see when they get here looll :happybanana:

My next step when these parts get here, is to take the car to make a adjust ride height adjustment and cornerbalance.
With coilovers not only you get the advantage of lowering the car but im making this adjustment to maintain an ideal weight distribution 50/50 in electronic scales.

I love the look of this car! Looks good in white, the stance is cool and I love the front lights. I guess they're not standard? Nice pictures on the track as well! :D

The front lights are the standart ones, only there they are taped because of any stone that could hit them :)
