if you like the 99-00 front end. go for it. i mean i like the 99-00 front end as well. were just giving you another option of saving the money and rock the 96-98 front ends. both looks good, i would prefer the 99-00 front though.

$175 pretty good price, installed them yet?

BTW, did you ever get your window track problem fixed?

I know, that's why I want the front end. I mean, my car isn't painted yet so I don't mind getting new ones and selling out the parts that are on my car right now...

I haven't installed them. I may do it Monday or Tuesday in my driveway. Pics will be up the day of. 175 for all 4 with forks.

*EDIT*

No, I haven't gotten my window fixed...I need to get some silicone lube spray for them. I want my RSR already..

my window recently came off the track as well. the second time. apparently the window came off the holders that was holding it on to the regulator. so i had a window shop use some of their silicone adhesive to glue them onto the clips. seems to work fine right now

its been awhile since the last post so heres a few updates.

i met up with my ej friend, he talked me into the garrett t3/t4 bb turbo instead of the swap and turbo. boosting a single cam ftw, right? we took a drive with our own little import crew, me, another ej, a fairlady, an integ and an mr2, and the spool of my friends turbo made me jizz in my pants.

also, within my period of absence, i installed tokico blues/eibach spring combo giving my car about an inch drop. she sits nice and corners a lot better.

i may be MIA for a bit due to my lack of money so updating this thread will be really, really minimal. till then, heres the updated to-do list.

-paint
-new front lip
-rear mugen valences
-turbo

of course, ill post them as soon as i get home, ive been traveling a lot, just got back from snowboarding in Mammoth and whatnot.

i owe WellFed a DIY on the suspension even though i did have it on the racks, it is very possible to do it with a few jack stands.

Good to see you are still progressing, but the suspension drop seems kind of pointless to me . They should settle down to a 1.5" drop, but to me such a small drop is hardly noticeable. Can't wait for my 2.5" drop to go on next month!

i bought the struts and springs with 15k on them for around 175. i couldn't pass up the deal, plus i needed to replace my OEMs ones cause they were blown out. eventually ill put them back on the market when i get my new set. also, i want a 2.25-2.5 drop and a nice fender roll but for now, this will do.

So I was getting out of my car once I arrived to work and some things I've came to terms with that were wrong with my car suddenly infuriated me.

Here's some pictures.

This is my right headlight, sits semi-flush.
