Yeah man there is a decent scene here! Glad I moved here.

Wait, what? Greenville? WTF? I lived there around 00-02' and the only things there was one downtown street, Michelin, and BMW down the road. It's gotten that much better since then?

Its a pretty nice area now, sad to be leaving for a while

Here my fapping lotion is starting to crust!!! Need.updates!

re-apply!

Sorry for such a late update. All the suspension components that I have so far are on the car. Full Battle Version suspension installed along with the PMB coils (spring rates are as they come for those who asked)

The car still needs tabs cut, fenders rolled, lowered & dialed in, UCA clearance mod on the strut towers etc but there is some progress... here are some pictures!

By the way, these are going to be my daily wheels... cant let you guys in on the show time wheels for this thing yet!

Parts and tires:







Checking how my wheels looked on stock suspension lol



Got some bushings and miscellaneous shit changed out and some new suspension bolts in certain spots being that I dont think anything was broken loose since.... 1999









Alignment (stock for now until I dial in camber and what not)



Car stayed in PA since I'll be up there for a good while starting in March (hence the snow)



Also, got this bad boy in, thanks PMB



Shout out to my mom for letting this thing sit in her driveway until I get back up there in a couple weeks!

P.S. Wheels are Style 95's off of a BMW 7 Series - which I am sure most of you are familiar with.

19x9 + 24 up front with a 25mm adapter - Effective 19x9 -1 215/35/19 Falken 452
19x10 +24 out back with a 28mm adapter - Effective 19x10 -4 225/35/19 Falken 452

^^ Since I know a lot of people are interested in specs.

What do you guys think so far?
Sorry for shitty pics... Once its sitting how I want Ill get some nice sitting/rolling shots for you guys, well and for me haha

Good choice on the PBM coils, did you get increased springrates or did you stick with the ones that came with it? I have PBM everything on my s14 and I love their product. In fact PBM did all the work to my friends 370, very good company and i cant wait to see pics of your car.
