Coilovers (Stance and they suck) with Swift brand springs, 10k front and 7k rear. Bilsteins will be going on here pretty soon. But I have had a couple of setups over the years.
Tein S Tech lowering springs and KYB Gas Adjust shocks.
Well worn Mazdaspeed shocks and Tein S techs here (I think, )
They all look good. I'm not sure what I'm going to run yet.
For the money ($1500.00 shipped) the Bilstein PSS9's are your best option. Don't waste your time with cheapies (BC, Powertrix, Stance, Megan, D2, etc) unless you don't plan on keeping the car very long.
Today I spend a hour modifying the exhaust today. Sounds way better then third ebay ones and I spent about 40$
Most people will hate it lol. Being a welder and fabricator and bored doesn't always look the way others like lol. But she does sound nice, and I'm pretty happy with it until I can order a full exhaust for her.
The best part is, it's just random parts I had from autozone. I didn't reck anything on my car, so when I want to replace it everything will swap right over.
Got the tips nice and centered as well. This pic was before I did the final welding. So the tip lengths are correct now as well.
