Stock, but not for long…
I’ve ordered some power mods (plenum spacer, intake pipe + filter) which will gain me about 15kw, some noise and more response. I’ve also ordered some suspension.
I thought about Tein S-Tech lowering springs. Everyone in the states seems to be using them and the drop is about an inch all round but springs just aren’t my thing. I’m way too fussy to live with just lowering springs (can never get the height perfectly right, or the ride quality).
I then looked into cheap coilovers. They sell Tein “BASIC” coilovers in the US, height adjustable but no damper adjustment. Cheap but many complain it’s too soft. That doesn’t sound like me either.
I then considered BC Coilovers as some people on here have tried them and given them great reviews. Man in the end of the day it’s just not me. No offense to anyone who rates them but I can’t go there (call me a brand whore, whatever).
Joe at Buddy club could look after me on a set of Buddy club (I’m pretty sure “BC” took some inspiration from their name from “Buddy club”) RSD’s but I’m after more of a street coilover.
Enter JDM Tein Super Streets. Yeah perfect. They’re mine. They’ll go on the car next week.
What’s next? Wheels. I’ve ordered them too. If I’m lucky they will be mine before next week, if I’m not lucky I’ll have to wait until mid Feb to get them.
Booyah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That’s a whole lot of cash, the wheels cost more than my ED (which I love). That upsets me… I need more wine.
