I'll probably grab the Bilsteins unless I can find any good deals on Konis for now — mainly because I plan to import a later gen turbo near the end of the year. Since this car is pretty much going to be on the road for its life, I think it should be fine with the Bilsteins. Are you going with the Bilsteins/TRD combo GDII?
If I were to put aside 2K for suspension I'd probably get Fortune Auto coilovers. Well worth it but then you need a cert which can range from $600-$800 so fixed height springs and some sort of shock is far cheaper.
Yeah I bought the set of TRD springs and Bilsteins that were in Reubans blue GEN3. I'll be using my low KM Bilsteins though and keeping the others as a spare with my stock springs. Getting them delivered Saturday. I'll put them in later on.
So yesterday I got a repo Bomex Whale Tail spoiler off of ebay. I put it on today and have for now plasti dipped the spoiler black until I get it sprayed the colour of the car later on. When I was taking off the right hand side wing piece, the wing had corroded to the paint and has ripped some off, so will have to get that panel sprayed again too. Overall, I think it's a pretty good result!
