how much are the HKS drag coilovers? Is the white car going to be drag only?

I think they are like $2k new. No its not going to be drag only, but the focus is 10sec street car.

I thought you could use that money elsewhere and get k2rd or ground controls with any Eibach ERS springs you want. I read that some of those high end coilovers aren't meant for street use because they need rebuilt quicker. I don't know, that was the opinion of some guys on the other forum for whatever its worth. I wouldn't mind some Teins or JIC's though. I think they're in the $1100-1500 range.

$2395 for the FC3S drag coilovers, Listed on the HKS USA website now...



I got mine for pretty cheap though https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

Looking good. Did you install the bushings yourself?

Yes. I don't plan on paying full price for the coilsovers, if I do buy new ones I would consider the TEINs.. I've heard Junk In Car are bad....

Energy Suspension bumpstop. I got it from a forum member as they come in packs. Got a good deal too https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png. Summit sells them. There are several sizes, if I was going to pay the full price I would have gotten a longer one( 3 1/8") would be my choice, vs the 2 1/2" on I have installed. I just used larger washers to make up for the difference. I can take some pixs later on to show the exact location that I drilled from above.

Yes more pics!
