Well Sold the turbo car early this year to get into something a little more driver friendly. Was stock wheels and ride hight when i got it. Paint was ratchet so it had to be dealt with before posting pics.


Here is a shot from last weekend after the paint correction Got about 80-85% of the bad scratches and crap and 90% of the swirls

Nice correction!

So that last pic is of the car lowered? Can't hardly tell the difference between the pics.

Not feeling it, looks kinda slow...

It probably the red seats. Get rid of them ASAP.

I actually had a guy come in and do it for me. I had never polished a car before and didnt have the gear needed .. and for the price i could not buy everything +the time. He used standard 3m Stage 2 Compound and a basic Wax afterwards. Once i hit it myself with a better wax this week it will probably look even better.

As for the lowering. The before pic is at a angle that make it look not as dramatic. it was stock height and this was just after i pulled it and drove about 10 feet to get the suspension to sit properly. It will prolly come down another 1/4 inch in the rear. Front are about an inch of the tire lol

Did you cut factory springs or go aftermarket? I keep going back and forth on which way to go, and if I will need c/c plates and shorter shocks in the front or not?

h&r supersports. Stock ISOs all remain. Will get by without cc plates but could always use a set. Prolly next year when I get better front tires

Got it aligned and just ever so slightly out of spec. Maxed the pass side caster/ Camber adj but the toe is all that really matters and its good to go. Drove in the rain to our season opener and like a moron wiped the car down with a couple of microfibers. Hopefully didnt bitch the polish job too much. Rear has not settled as much as i would like so i will probably pull the rear upper ISO's
