Ok seriously here is a question for Antionio you and even icey mike. I the set up as you guys(konis ground controls but I have 18's) do and how the hell can you drive like that. I have my car set up with 6 threads up front and 3 in the rear. I can barly stand both the ride and have a hard time driving it around town because of our roads here (MI roads are real bad)I even had to make my mirko easly detachable just to get around town.

Great job, looks incredible w/19inch rims. How does it ride with the konis/ground control? Also do you have the coilovers on it lowest setting?

I have to agree. It looks super sharp. Now you really do need bigger brakes something in cross drilled. Would really be awsome with true duels exhaust. Great job on the car. .....Brad

No rubbing except when I hit a car length dip on the highway at about 75 mph, then the front tires contact the liner. no big deal on regular roads. the rear doesn't rub at all.
I do have pre-98 sail panels. Traded from my uncle's car.
I have the front coils all the way down with the Konis at about midway. The rear is 5 turns from the bottom with the Konis to the max.
If I wanted a soft ride I would of kept the stock suspension. I knew what I was in for.
The coilovers gives it a whole different look along with the Knauberization and the sail panels.
