well i just got my set of coilovers from k-spec today. i put the back ones on for now because my front suspension is all apart in front due to axles so i cant put those on yet.

they are freaking awsome. i know my car won't squat now. these things are so stiff, i love it. after i got the back of the car on the ground, i sat on the hatch and the car moved down maybe an inch if that and i am 180lbs.

i know i keep saying this but when the car is all back together i will have a million pictures and will be able to tell everyone how it feels and drives.

the best $1199 i have spent yet and they only took 9 days to get here.

i love k-spec. if anyone from k-spec reads this, thank you very much.

well the block will be back from alabama tomorrow and we should have it built within a week or so.

i am still trying to figure out the axles. i got a great reference for the drive shaft shop but the only thing is they only have ones that hold up to 450whp and if i pass that mark then i will be searching for axles again.

so as soon as i figure out the axle situation then i can complete the car.

i am thinking of using the hubs from the santa fe but then that will change my lug pattern to a 5 lug. doing that means more money on new rims and i already have 3 sets of rims. i think i would rather buy new rims instead of new axles every time i break them.

eta for everything, i am hoping by the first week of july.
