Summing up the last week here:
Reshaped my front fenders by making my inner lips not flat against the sheet metal for dat strength. That made my fenders look a lot less like bacon. More body shaping to come. :Winning:
Installed stainless steel, super low profile bumper quick release latches thanks to my tabs getting ripped. Not everyone's cup of tea but its certainly better than a flappy front bumper. :kind of winning:
Found yet another ripped inner CV boot but on the driver's side. Ordered a replacement inner boot for $10 shipped to my door.
Lowered another 1/2" all around. Fenders are now halfway down the sidewalls and can still turn full lock. :winning again:
Pics will come when I feel like washing the car again and breaking out the potato.Sup. Call me Z.

Well, I figure its time for a profile revival as I am at a crossroads with a few mods I have cooking in my mind.
First off, I'm thinking of revisiting the quad retro but this time with FX-R's in the low's and MH1's in the highs. Question is, do I do matte black shrouds and all or do I leave the buckets and shrouds chrome? I am keeping the black housing so don't you worry your pretty little heads about that.
Secondly, I've finally got my suspension dialed in and loving the handling but I'm wanting more. I've been wanting to go air for a very long time but felt I've never had the right vehicle to do it with. I don't see myself spending thousands of dollars on an engine build to not be able to use it and I already get myself in trouble as it is with just bolt ons. The crossroads I'm at is I can get a set of Swift springs in a 14k front and 10k rear to replace the shitty springs on my f2's and have a damn good handling DD or, I get a set of coilover bags and manual management (because I'm broke and can't afford that automagic baller shit) and adjust height on the fly when its needed. Thoughts?Sup. Call me Z.

go air!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! since you are on coilovers i do believe you can just slap a couple bags in there and hook up some manual mangement. bet if you look around, find some used management stuff, you could have it bagged for 1k +- 300.
ps(where do you live i have a 5 gallon tank and some 3/8 air id sell you)

I'm thinking of going with a different roller setup. I'm liking at stepping down to a 17x9 +22 with either a 235/45 tire for that meaty goodness or a 215/50 so that I don't have to run more camber/pulled fenders. Thoughts? Btw, both sizes keep my speedometer reading correctly.Sup. Call me Z.
