very nice!!! I must say though, I don't care for the wheel/lug color. White CE's with black lug nuts would really set it off.

Very nice. Definately like the JDM Mugen bumper VS the USDM Mugen bumper. Any chance the braided lines are for sale yet?

We just got the fronts done and we are working on the rear now. So should be available during spring time.

Thumbs up

Excellent!

I'd post a little bowing emoticon, but not ready to risk Photobucket yet. I lost a computer to that hack attack two Saturdays ago.

Great news! I've been planning a pad/rotor upgrade this spring, but with past cars the biggest initial difference is with a good set of stainless lines and good fluid.

Absolutely nice!

Like I've said before, I'm personally not partial to white, but my color choices/opinions have nothing to do with anything. That's a seriously nice ride!

Congrats!!!

I think the wheels and lugs are just fine the way they are... a perfect fit with the ride. It's hot, with class!

Oh and, MORE PICS!!!

BTW, a question. How's the ride on the T1r S-coils compared to stock? Was thinking of the Swift Sports Springs because they supposedly give you just as good or even better than stock ride. The T1rs are cheaper though. If the ride is good I may as well save myself a few bucks. Ride is a little more important than performance for me.

Thanks

IMO, The T1R S-coils are SOFT so as for DD (daily driver) I think I would rate it one of the best. It has comfy ride and great improvement in handling BUT it you take turns hard or for track then it maybe a bit too soft for it.

The SWIFT are good too but considering the price, I don't think it is that much better.

Thanks for the reply!

You said "A bit too soft" for hard turns/track. Even so, I would imagine T1rs are still better [handling wise] than stock? Or no... softer than even stock?

The Swifts do not lower quite as much as the T1rs either. Anyway, that's good to know. I have a lot of mods I want to do. Any dollars saved on one mod will obviously goes toward another.

Thanks again.


BTW, if you get the chance, can you post a total side view pic of your ride? I'd like to see it from a complete side view perspective, for various reasons. No rush... just asking.

That upper grille seems to be a tough one to get just right for most of the body kits I've seen. On the whole looks awesome though.

The T1R springs definitely handles better over stock springs. The ride is a bit softer than stock because the springs are progressive.

Here's the side view of the car as requested.



Thanks

Yup, that's a hot-looking ride! Just makes you want to look at it... and drive it!
