This is the best i can find.

I am planning on building something into the structure of the car and coming out of the package tray and then going up to the 'B" pillar.

Or I am just going to put in 2" DOT approved 4-Point restrants

I agree. That is going to be cool.
That was a funny pic of the hubcap just being a tad bigger than the new rotors!
Keep us posted Jason!

The car is really cool Jayson. I can't wait to see it in person. Those wheels are a perfect fit for it. Let me know how you like the TVS please, I am thinking of using that system on my car too.

PS Thanks again for the info you chased down for me when my computer crashed, it was a HUGE help. I owe you one.

Way to show us how it's done, without killing the bank, without sending it to some expensive (albeit well worth it if that's your game) custom fab/paint/(forclosure) shop, and mostly, WITHOUT SPENDING FOUR YEARS ripping it all apart, losing pieces, buying EVERYTHING new again, and trying to remember how it all went back into something that once again moved on it's own power...This dusty project that went WAY over time;WAY over budget; and WAAAAY past your patience to finish up...

Instead you spend that time hitting Point Defiance, cruising it with the family over to Alkia beach, even take the "Mini Power Tour" loop up 101 around Port Angeles and back down the coast to Westport, smiling the whole time after the suspension/brakes upgrade...The car becomes a friend and part of the family, making memories for you and you kids...Drive it, Pimp it, enjoy all the thumbs up...

So it's been a while since i posted because I was in Columbus last weekend and doing 4th of July weekend with the fam the week before and trying to keep up with design client's projects and Jared moved into a bigger shop, blah blah, blah....

We still managed to get a lot done and I'm going to be ready for Good Guys next week and will be doing it right!

Here's what we've been up to since last time.

Putting it together up front is so easy with the Hotchkis stuff. It's like it was made for the car! Oh ya, it is! But seriously, they make the installation so complete and so easy. They even include new hardware and bump-stops.

The directions are really complete but for men like me who don't read directions, the guys on the tech line are super helpful. What I learned from talking to them on the phone and at the Good Guys shows is that this cool little spacer gives you a 1/2" boost if you need it or you can remove it to drop 1/2" which I will because out of the box, the kit is only a 1" drop so the end-consumer can fine-tune it to your taste.

There it is in it's original location below the cool formed rubber grommet that holds the spring in place in silence.
