Lowered another half inch or so since this picture was taken but not going down any farther than that. Roads are getting pretty bad by my house and I have to angle in my driveway or I scrape. Wheels are 18x10 +36. 265/35 tires.




New lip spoiler as well. Couldn't be more happy.

I did all of my black trim front and back this weekend and the difference is freaking amazing. Curious to see how long it lasts.

Cant be done. I was able to pull off just the bottom mount and make adjustments but its still a bit of a pain.

It's a shame there isn't a Discount Tire around here... I'd really like to see those Battles side by side. If they look half as nice on TG as they do on your NG I'd buy them in a heartbeat.

Let me know on the spacers.... they actually look staggered a little on your NG.

On that note, mine got a bath today.

I ment to post earlier, and I suppose I should email Charles at powertrix but id thought Id post here as well, while installing my new trans last week I noticed that the damper adjustment fitting on one of my front coilovers had come off somehow its the fitting that the little allen tool fits into that came off. looks like a VERY tiny screw of some sort is suppose to keep it in place. ill post a pic later when I get home. anyone else exerience this?
