looks good, im sending my headers to jet hot for coating and polishing up some OEM aluminum wheels and maybe, just maybe replacing stock gauges with autometer. good luck with your suspension. its on my list as well.

Look's like you've got a nice little project there. I've used KYB Gas-A-Just shock's on a few car's, and seem very similar to Bilstien's. Would suggest you test fit the rear bumper before sending it out for paint though, as sometime's need some file/fill work to make them fit properly.

I've used KYB's before with great success.

Why didn't u go with composite spring?
I still have my stock steel one.
