Well, tomorrow is the big day! I intend to install my ST200 struts with H&R springs, as well as install eibachs on Alex's Contour, another local member. Time permitting, I'll be doing the quaife and lightened flywheel as well. If all goes smoothly, I'll have one sweet riding snow beast for Christmas!!!  Micah will be driving up from Plattsburgh to join the fun, and to document it with his digital camera. Hopefully we'll have pics up later in the week.... Happy Holidays, everyone!!!

Well, its all done! I spent all of yesterday with Micah doing the Quaife/ lightened flywheel install, as well as the eibach front springs and ST200 struts, and this morning I did the rear struts and H&R rear springs with fellow CEG'er Alex. (he has the opposite mix and match of the springs).
We decided to go with that spring combo, because I didn't want my car too low, and he wanted his slammed to the max.
I am beyond thrilled with the results, and Micah took a few pics, which I imagine he'll be posting soon.
THe handling is incredible, the flywheel lets the motor rev much more freely(no more throttle hang either!!!), and the quaife, well, what can I say... its a Quaife!
I welcome any questions about the setup...

Hey, J-Lab,
Just wondering how you like your set - up after a week or so. I am putting the ST200 struts on this spring, but have not decided as to what springs I want(although the H&R's are probabaly what I will get).

Dunlop SP5000 Tires
Katz Fogs

ST200 Struts
Roush Springs
Driven mainly by my wife, now. DAMN!!
