thanks bro. just trying to hammer out the details on what coils to get. i don't know fuckass about whether to get the regular or the extreme drop kit. also there is options on diff spring rates and a bunch of stuff that doesn't make much sense to me. i wanna order these things sooner rather then later. any help is much appreciated.

Ahh yes, the successful sound of a running motor after fixing the most fucked up issues, I applaud you sir.
Did I see something about coilovers?
EDIT: As far as getting coilovers, unless if you want to be stupid low and risk cracking your oil pan, (apparently you can with this gen? i'm not sure) get the extreme kit. Simply put, with the kit you can get really, REALLY slammed, while maintaining great ride quality. The regular kit will get you as low as you want but it mainly depends on how low you want to be.
The BC Racing coilovers are a good brand to getting low, also ksports as well. I've also heard about good things about Megans Racing coils, don't believe the "BC racing coilovers are god" hype, they're great coilovers but they're not that great.
Spring rates, don't be too concerned about that. You would want firmer springs if you want to be slammed without bouncing all over the place on some wide ass wheels.
Any more questions, feel free to pm meLast edited by Chuckdee; 03-04-2014, 06:48 PM.sigpic

well after all that work i still havent done the valve cover gaskets LOL. been so lazy about it. i REALLY need to knock them out so i can finally put all the plastic covers and shit back on correctly. Timing belt is still exposed up by the cams LOL.
Fucked around with my lights and got them to at least work now. i had ONE headlight and turns. now i have low/high, fogs and turns. hooray.
The vendor has been going back and forth with me and I dont know if i should get just the regular coils or the extreme drop. I dont want to be so low where im cracking pans and shit. just want to kill wheel gap and make it so it doesn't look retarded when i finally have enough to get some wheels/tires. 18x9.5 at minimum up front and 18x10 in the rear. any more i think will need to be pulled (dont know any shops around here yet and i refuse to hoodrat this car further) keep in mind im new to this stance thing so im just pulling numbers off some builds i have seen. at no point in time should anyone think i have a remote clue as to wtf an offset is or how it works.
All my tools are at work. epic pita to keep having to haul shit home in the trunk. Im off thursdays and sundays. if anyone local is down for it and has tools, im willing to buy lunch to help me knock that shit out finally, get the covers back in place and clean the fuck out of this blasted hooker coffin on wheels. then maybe a small shoot with someones real camera haha. my Note 3 only takes decent pictures sometimes. heres a quick one i shot when i got out of work.. lights hooray. still gotta change out the far corner lightbulbs to see if it works.

Awesome build! I'm currently looking for a LS project similar to yours for myself. I've already had two slip through my fingers because someone scooped them up before I could.1993 BMW 325i

Still no word from Circuit Motorsports about my coils. I know it takes awhile for them to get made but damn an email or a call or something stating as to whats going on would be nice. Also went ahead and ordered new swaybar and control arm bushings from TM Engineering. That with some new inner and outer tie rods should HOPEFULLY fix up the hellacious slop i got going on in the front end. Granted my stock 15" tires are pretty shitty but it shouldnt wander as much as it does.
Good news is i finally got brave enough to bring her ass out to 285...that whore made it from the 120 loop to Doraville in like 14 minutes LOL. She can fucking MOVE when she wants to. I hit like 115 and backed down. She still had PLENTY of balls left. Between cops and being scared of DEATH due to sudden derp play in the front end, I decided that was enough of those shenanigans. No i dont normally speed like that. i was in the far left lane and roads were clear. i would have been the ONLY person affected had something happened.
Frankly the only reason i took her that high was to push the engine a bit. She had been in such poor care for such a long time i was worried that something might have been wrong with her. Back and forth to work at MAYBE 40mph doesnt do much to tax her powerplant.
Covers went back on today as planned. Cactus on thursdayhopefully they can clean her up
going for the "DELUXE INTERIOR DETAIL" for like 80 and change.

Got it done. She actually SMELLS good. Only got one decent shot. I need a real camera at some point lol. She may no longer actually be a stank booty but the name will forever stick. Long live the stank booty.
Also i finally caved and made an instagram -___- Someone wanna school me as to how the fuck this shit works lol
Also Control arm bushings/ sway bar poly bushings came in from TM Engineering. Still no word from fucking circuit and my damn coils. love dropping a thousand bucks on so far what seems like ghost parts. not too happy. still no calls or emails from them. way to go customer support.

only got the one shot for now. got whole car detailed. not happy with how it turned out tho. felt like dude was slacking cuz it was an older car. motherfucker you are getting paid an hourly rate and i KNOW people fucking tip you. have some pride in your work shitbag. plenty of mofos out there that would kill to have a steady job. next time hitting up yota man for sure. the whole trunk smells of cherries now haha. perfect for an old whore.
as for seats im looking at different aftermarket seats. no idea how they would be mounted in car because i doubt anyone ever thought of sticking them into an LS. also my seatbelts are FUCKED. completely useless in every regard. need to fix that shit asap. already tried popping mid panel off and unplugging the little motor thing. they just lie there limp and do nothing. no kind of tension
