1.up she was at 25" before and I raised to 26".
2.BC (I think black and gold) from a 350.
3.i don't have stock uppers but I think you can get away with just aftermarket toe arms and stock uppers.
4.alignment is within spec aside from neg camber in the rear.
.....I was so low it was literally going to start a fire or tear everything under the fender off.... including the fender.....too much work needed to go that low
Just let it do its thing, it will roll and pull itself meaning no more rubbing, and where it is rubbing will just wear off. You'll be FINE! This is a 10.5 -1 in front.
But FR, clean Sport man, looks great. Also, its MUCH easier to get an even ride height by measuring the threads on the coilover, rather than measuring from the ground to the lip of fender / quarter.

damn I don't know how you do it with a liner in there. I'm serious, I was loosing tire/fender when I was dropped another inch. We measured turns but my passenger side is actually about 1/4-1/2" higher so we had to measure slab to fender to get it right.
Project almost complete. Just picked her up. New lower ball joints, upper and lower front arms, front and rear sway bar links, coolant flush and oil. Literally every fluid in the car is now new. Car feels great. Pics as soon as I can get em.
It's been a long year for G restoration and not quite done yet.
Completed:
All of the above plus:
Fortune Auto500 coilovers
All new headlight and marker bulbs
Phillips Ultinon bulbs
JWT clutch and flywheel resurface.
New coilpacks
New cam and crankshaft sensors
Full fuel system, throttle body clean
LED interior lights and side markers
New drivers seatbelt
New driver and passenger seat belt buckles
New tint
Continental DW Sport tires (2016 model)--the only thing I regret. Got them on clearance and they are unacceptably noisy with only a couple thousand miles on them. Will replace next year.
New oem shift ****
New door pull plastic trim
New wiper arms
New oem black floormats
Rust on rear wheel well fixed
All dings and scratches fixed
Still to go this year:
Paint and replace both mirrors
Driver and passenger window weather stripping
Paint front grill and diffuser area
Next year:
Dye carpet black
Fix foam and tear on drivers seat
New radio with JDM facia
New Pilot Supersports
Whew....I think that's it. Almost everything above is oem as well...
A lot of work. I hope she doesn't die! I don't even want to think about how much this cost, but in for a penny, in for a pound (or a few thousand pounds as it were.....)
I had to go back to read my own posts to remember more that I've done:
Greased rear axles to stop the clicking
Painted rear emblems black pearl
Got a new armrest cover due to the latch on mine being busted
Full paint correction with Griots system.

Now I know why I have no time....
And that's why my signature used to say "Too many mods to list" haha.
Changed the plugs to NGK Laser Double Platinum (got a KILLER deal). On the last plug (of course) couldn't get the plug socket to hook up on the hex. Wtf?
Little more investigation and part of my coil pack boot had hardened and broke off. No idea how long its been like that. Sporting a duralast coil pack for now cuz that was my only option. We'll see how long it lasts.
Scraggle I'm quoting you from a long time ago on this thread. I tried a PM but apparently you're so popular that you've exceeded your limit lol.
Do you still have the Autozone Duralast ignition coil in your car? Any issues with it? I'm just curious because I replaced mine with one of them last night and the car's running good again. Looking at the part it seems like a quality build. I'm thinking about getting the 6 pack they sell for about 230 bux and just changing all of them.
Lol looks like a guide coat. I'm in the process of painting my rays and I can't make my mind up. Was thinking of powder coating but that defeats the purpose of me getting them cheap. I'm only a 100.00 bucks into them money wise and my buddy scored me tires and mounted them for free so I'm trying to stay in the cheap lane lol

You know whats up
i was going to get them powder coated as well but the texture is horrible.
So I mounted them so i can paint them
this is the second coat of 2k already... the guy who sandblasted them left them pitted...
