Thought I'd update with some pics. I'll start with ride height and suspension. It's a work in progress but the current setup is this: FRONT Koni Yellows in CSM strut housing, 1G DSM Eibach Sportline springs, Yoshifab camber plates, Expo spindles, GVR4 2 piston calipers, drilled slotted rotors, Porterfield R4S pads, Supre Pro bushings in control arms & caster bushings & swaybar, ARP wheel studs, braided SS brake lines. New axles, DSM wheel bearings, tierod ends, swaybar end links, ball joints. REAR 1g AWD DSM AGXs, 300lb 6" spring ebay coil over, drilled slotted rotors, Porterfield R4S pads. Tires are taller than normal to lower rpm at cruise, size 195/60-15. Ride height is 24" from ground through center of the wheel to the bottom of the fender lip. I've rolled the fenders with a ball bat too but they aren't bent out of factory shape. This pic is actually with the same front suspension setup but the rear is 1g AWD AGXs with stock factory CSM rear springs. The rear ride height in this pic was 23.25" so it was slightly lower than the front. That is cured now with the coilovers. |

I used an '08 Subaru STI factory muffler. I wanted quiet for a daily driver and I figured the STI had 300hp so it would flow good enough for that. Plus I like the dual tips despite not many other liking it. Gauges, Autometer oil psi, volt, water temp, boost on top of the dash, AEM WB on the steering column. |

Got a little carried away on the gauge install. It was more of a PITA than I thought it would be, mostly trying to drill the holes in the dash for everything. I tore the junction block apart so I could wire up a good power source. I added a fuse and pin to a factory connector so it's a nice install instead of tapping off some other fuse. |

Front suspension setup. I also switched out the CSM turn signal/wiper steering column switch with a 1g DSM column switch. My factory switch was flaky and didn't have cruise control. The DSM switch looks so much better and I'll add DSM cruise sometime in the future too. |

Nice wheel fitment. I will measure ride height from fender to ground and post that up too. |

The 16x7s look great, really fills the wheel gap nicely and probably helps lengthen the gears a bit. I can somewhat dig the stripe too. |

What's your mod list for the engine? |

Yeah, the tires do make the gears taller. I currently run the km210 tranny. When I was running the '90 FWD DSM tranny the gears are even taller and I didn't like it as much for economy. It seems to get better mpg closer to 3000rpm at cruise. The engine is a 1.6, Wiseco 10:1, 1.8 cylinder head, 1g intake manifold and TB, HKS 264/272 cams, FIC 1000s, Supra smic and 2.5" pipes, small 16g, ECM Link V3 on speed density, 2.5" exhaust. I think that's it. |

I actually really like the fender stripes. |
