SO I decided to redo all my suspension being that my car is 22 years old and all of the bushings and suspension arms are factory. Picked all this up from Vitaly at Aceupmotorsports. Great prices and better service, he hand delivered a set of New Ksport coilovers to yesterday!

I also ordered an energy suspension bushing kit, Isis Control arm kit (which i have part of but the rest should be delivered friday or sat.) And finally i ordered a new turbo since mine is on its way out. Ended up buying THe Isis rs3871, which is a direct bolt on for my turbo, yet can push up quite a bit more lbs of boost, and spool about the same. ALso have a new CLutch waiting to be put in, and lastly I have a 3" o2 housing that will be installed with the new turbo
Should have most of these parts on within the month. But im pretty excited for these coils, here is how my install went!
Here is some pics from the install from last night.

tackled the fronts first! Knocked them out pretty quick, Measured distances between collars and mounted them up.

Overall handles great, Needs alignment im sure, but it rides much much better then my beat ass setup before. front needs to come down some more however.. still a little to high. =) oh and ill be fine tuning the dampening system as i get used to the feel.
