For me, the gen 2 is a lot more comfy, but my gen1 was lowered on really stiff springs.

Did my first oil change and installed my Fumoto valve today.

I put back on the extra cover plate. I'll have to decide if I leave it off the next time I change the oil.

You guys need to stop keeping these as garage queens and drive them in the winter. They are a blast in the snow.

You only need two bolts, one for each side on the front. You can't change the rear camber with bolts. You need to change the LCAs for the rear.

On my first gen I did headers, tune, coilovers, rear LCAs, and some bushings. Oh and JDM exhaust tips.

Once spring/summer hits here I'm going to get some camber bolts and probably call it a day.
