Kaleb’s 86 (kaizen project)

I was having a hard time deciding on what coilovers to go with and set of HKS Hipermax SP came up for sale local for a great price and since they were on my list I went ahead and picked them up. I want to upgrade down the road, I really like the Ohlins set, but these will do for now, and it’s fun to have the HKS GT set on my daily and the SP on the 86, they feel extremely different and I like comparing the two cars. While I was installing the coilovers I realized I needed new end links, went with the Whiteline set and they seem to be pretty decent quality. I should have snapped some pictures with the wheels off, the colors on the end links and the coilovers are almost the same gold which was a nice surprise, I didn’t even consider the color of the end links when I ordered them. So I got that job all buttoned up and had some help at work swapping the tires off the stock wheels onto my LMs!

Also, I ended up getting some black enamel paint and sprayed the bolt heads to cover up the little bit of the original finish that was worn, and ordered new valve stems and lug nuts right from BBS. Pretty happy with the wheels for their age, but really can’t wait to pick up some wider barrels for them and get some proper tires.
