Kumho is making them but I don't know for how long. At least the price has doubled since I bought them, I got 4 for 480 and now they seem to be way over 200 each.

This is ridiculously cool. Well done.

OK, as there was nothing else to do with the car I installed the almost mandatory duck tail. It really needs emblem now as it looks quite plain without.

And while the car was in the garage I installed a pair of Swedish Recaro replica seats as well. Although the original seats do look great they are horrible to sit at. I will get them reupholstered to match the rest of the interior as soon as driving season is over. But anyway hitting the limiter on 4th felt much safer with the new seat.

OK, time for update, I suppose. Last winter I got the air suspension done and other minor upgrades elsewhere also. At front I now have Airrex struts for BMW e60 and at rear Airlift struts for Subaru WRX. I have to say I love how the suspension works now.

I also got the engine tuned for 640 hp and been breaking drive shafts, diff mounts and cv's ever since so that's enough for now. Now the car is on hoist again getting more updates for suspension and engine but will be ready well before summer.

Here's some pics from last summer.

What made you decide to switch to air? Car looks great, has to be a handful with all that power

[TomiS]

I couldn't get the car out of the garage even with the ride height in the first pics. That's why it's on air now at not for the lows. I also considered air cups but after reading write up's on performance air suspension I decided to give it a try. I love the adjustability as it can be adjusted to almost all driving situations from strip to streets.

Great build.

[Aitch]

ah shiet those seats. So nice.

[MommysLittleMonster]

Good gracious.

Car is still as amazing as ever, love the seats. The R888's make the car look so much more aggressive than the previous tires, too.

[iakona]

i dig me a proper Zed. and those seats are AMAZING.

[MWyeS]

This is perfection.

[delvin]
