Very nice! The TEIN coilovers are a nice clean install.
One thing to make sure you have when installing the front control arms is a 1-1/16" (if I recall correctly, might actually be 1-1/4") box wrench with a pivoting head. This needs to have a pretty long handle, or you'll need to have a cheater bar to put over the handle. YOu'll use this for loosening and tightening the upper ball joint for making the camber adjustments.

I thought so too... Just keep in mind that there's not enough clearance to get a socket and breaker bar in there. You'll need something much shallower, otherwise you'll tear up the paint around the edges of your front fenders.

While I am at it.... I am pretty much done with my car, but I would like some feedback on a few cosmetic things. Let me know what you think about the below....
Paint the front headlights (gloss black)
Paint the rear tail lights "GTR" style (gloss black with round cutouts for lights)
Paint all the chrome trim (gloss black door and trunk trim)
Paint the roof (gloss black)
All of the above
None of the above
I am also going to switch over to coilovers (Tein SS-P), and that is it.... Let me know what you think on the above. Thanks.
