Thanks man. I've been fiddling with the damper settings and I settled with 5 clicks from soft in the front and 3 clicks in the rear for daily driving. Closest to stock ride feel and soaks up the road bumps well. If I want to stiffen it up a bit, I find 15 clicks down from hard in the front and 20 clicks in the rear gives a firm and tight ride thats great for spirited driving. Haven't tracked the car yet.
Compared to stock, definitely handles better, and I thought stock was good already. Still have to get my alignment done.

looks really nice. May I ask how much you lowered the car? Any issues with speedbumps or anything?
I'm currently not sure if I should lower my car as the front is quiet low already with stock suspension, however it looks so much better when its lowered :-)

it looks great, especially the rims.

Hey man love your style it seems that us from Asian/Pacific regions have a lot more traditional clean style when it comes to modifying cars than the American's (they seem to love flashy and stickers everywhere)

Are you planning on doing any other engine modifications?? Im turboing mine

Hey Killerbee, I lowered it 2 inches. So far no issues with speedbumps. I can go over them normally not doing an "s-turn" over them. When I switched to 19's the car went up a bit, so when I lowered it, it kinda gave me some leeway clearance-wise. The car begs to be lowered with the big wheelwells!

On our side it's more for that "understated" but clean look. Something that you won't tire of looking at everyday. But to each his own, right? I think it's more of the culture in the states, with a lot of sponsors trying to sell and advertise stuff thats why most cars have the stickers.

I'm really interested in getting a header, and going S/C in the future. I've had two turbo cars already, (93 EG, and 92 EG hatch) so I want to try something new. Good luck on your build!

If you built a car and sent it to SEMA you can bet it would be covered head to toe with stickers. Look at the builds on this site that are NOT completely sponsor built - you'll notice a huge trend - no stickers. Please don't lump a few SEMA showcars into the entire N. American tuning culture as that's just ignorant.

Having a "steal me" list going down the side of your car is used for show cars showing support to those that helped build the car and for ricers trying to emulate said show cars.

Asian/Pacific regions developed Bosozoku Style cars (google it so I don't clutter up this thread) and yet you think N. American car culture likes over flashy builds? lol

Also - was it a N. American designer or an Asian/Pacific designer that developed the Rocket Bunny Kit? <- Cause that is a traditional clean style kit if I've ever seen one.

The point has been countered.

To the OP - Your car looks fantastic but then again you get the best options possible for this chassis. Yes, I'm jelly!

I think the 19s for the 57extreme do have the concave shapes bro. I'm not sure about it really. Sorry!
