Seems to me that if you want a porsche, buy a porsche, it looks like an rx7 with a personality crisis or something. But for what it is, it is done very nicely and it is the only one.

I can never imagine spending that much money on such a thing, **** I'd just buy a third gen if I could afford that. It's not like it makes your car any faster, you know?

No offense but I think your car would look a lot better if it wasnt riding as low as it is...

yeah i'm pretty unhappy with the springs being cut, the dude i bought it from said "it looked cool" it ain't so cool when you hit a bump and bounce like a basketball though i'm surprised the car is still intact, i got some springs from the junker i just haven't had enough time to change them since the car is my daily driver, i can't even drive over speedbumps without bottoming out, its kinda sad when you bottom out in your own driveway

When you get your new springs on, you won't even believe the handling. Suspension travel helps a lot, you're probably cornering on your bumpstops everywhere. And your front suspension geometry is probably all fucked up.

Oh yeah, I know everyone's gonna tell me off for this big time, but my springs are cut - one coil only. I did it when I got my Tokico shocks when I was 18, with the intention of getting RB springs the next year. But I actually like it a lot, it is not that low at all, and it handles very well. I was worried about the springs not seating properly and all that, but no problems so far.

Next up in the cards is RB springs and poly bushings!
