    rides great, not as low as I would like the front to be (only about a 1 inch drop) but oh well, and I think the shocks might be Tokicos, not really sure tho, but hey for the price it rides perfect!

          nice ride - looks awesome. aftermarket front springs have saved my body kit more than once.

          i have a 96" that with stock rear springs sits lower in the rear than later models. i had to lower the front 2.5" to sit a .5" lower than the rear

              the wheels are 18" x 9.5" ZR1's with Falken 275/40/18's all around, and no its not negative camber, the wheels are just slightly turned thats all

                You wrote that you wait to buy new shocks for the rear? What shocks? Also Tokicos?

                    I'd probably go elsewhere with the shocks. Bilsteins have lost their respect from the suspension guys. Tokicos are good for none adjustables, and KYB or Konis are now the recommended adjustables.

                      Bil steins aren't that bad really. Even if your lowered they still work.

                      Strano springs/Koni 4/3's for handling
                      QA1 R Front shocks/spring front, something adjustable in the rear for drag.
                      ^Theres your suspension.

                      Some of these V6 cars on here look really sweet, but the RS body just kills it for some reason. But thats IMHO. :)

                        yeah not everyone is a big RS body kit fan, im planning on changing the front lip anyways to an RKsports one pretty soon.

                            I did my fronts with Eibach lowering springs with KYB ADJ. set on #3, also I have a fiberglass hood and tublar K and upper/lower A arms, it brought the front end up with the weight reduction. For the rear I have 00' Z28 springs with Blisteins HD's. ST 35mm front sway and 21mm rear sway. The ride height is perfect 2" of space in the front from the tire and the rear is 3" from the tire, this is with 17x9 SS rims with 275/40/17's. You can look in my profile at my cardomain site to see how it sits. Also handles like a champ. If I ever need to change them I will go with ADJ. QA1's all around.

                              checked out your cardomain, very nice car :tup: sounds like you've got a really great suspension setup!
