how did you choose to wire it?? I've come across a vendor that sells the foglights + misc accessories for $350. Curious to know how much you spent. If you don't mind me asking

Never mind the build question! Didnt notice that was your build thread! Thanks!

You can do it for much less sourcing the parts yourself.

Painted up the calipers today.

I put the Eibach Pro Springs on today. I chose not to install the crash bolts or SPC rear LCA's for now. I'll take a look at the alignment first.

I think these springs are a great compromise between ultra low and stock. I think it looks and rides great.

Be sure to sell me those LCA's...

I'm sure I'll use them

Just didn't feel like putting them on yesterday and worried about TOTALLY screwing up the rear geometry with them. It will be a bit before I can gather the equipment and have time to align it when they are on.

The first time I washed my car, right after buying it, I noticed some serious scratches and scuffs on the deck lid. I'm sure it was done by the dealer during their initial prep or washing it after I bought it.

Anyway... spent some time today correcting them. Porter cable and some machine glaze.

First area Before.

About an hours work.

Spent the entire today working on the car. What a pain in the ass! I installed Whiteline camber bolts up front and SPC Rear LCA's.

I've always wanted to do an alignment on my own car so I researched it for a long while and gathered the stuff and did it. It turned out okay but I doubt I'll ever go through that again. I'll find a good shop and let a pro do it. Didn't get the right rear toe where I wanted it. Everything else looks okay.

The controls arms in.

All the pads leveled up.

Simple water level. Worked great!

Sitting up on the pads. Tiles with oil between the last two to make a very functional slide plate.

Another something I picked up off the net. A bar across the door sills and tie wrapped to the wheel to hold it. Worked fine.

SPC Toe arms installed last night and another alignment done today. These toe arms are nice and making toe adjustments are a snap!
