remember his kit was made for no battery relocation and he has compromised the size of his piping just a bit.

Just an FYI you will get detained for an expired registration, and you will have your car flipped upside down due to a 6" blade next to your drivers seat.

Hector,

Those Stance are rusted to hell, they will be a bitch to adjust. If you want low cost decent coilovers get the Tanabe S-0C that tbk had, they are $750.00 new and held up very well. Or, there is a set of Bilstein PSS9's for $900.00. But those Stance are not worth $1,000.00.

Yeah a blade is considered drug paraphernalia and gives them probable cause.

I thought the pss9's didnt perform on our cars.....or so I thought? are they HD struts?

for that you can just get the bilstein HD, springs of your choice and the FCM sleeves for $900

I installed the PSS9's on an old members car a couple of years ago and he was very happy with them. There is a thread about them and most seem to love them, I have never heard anything bad. D Walker owns a race team that runs RX-8's and he recommends them if that means anything. They are not HD's, and they have the adjustment ***** where you can actually get to them without removing the shocks in the rear.

the pss9s are odd man, they have the same spring rates front and rear. the are built very well though.
