QUOTE (bsamps4 @ Nov 15, 2012 - 9:21 AM)  Just a couple small updates. Still waiting on the replacement pillow ball mounts for the D2's I ordered, and my freaking wheels are still on backorder....but despite all the BS here are some positives. Pretty happy with these small changes, and I love how they both look. Hopefully a big update on Sunday if I'm able to get the D2's going.   Nice. Remove an amber. it would be more clean imho. -------------------- |

Finally got a D2 update for you guys! The install went real smooth, and I'm sorry guys....I did raise the car per all the data I received while reading the suspension dynamics
threads posted in the info section. I do plan to lower the back down a little more, but I would lower it more if I could figure out how to install roll center adjusters from a Honda. I should be installing my new wheels and tires in a few days so I will have an update just after the Thanksgiving. The mount on top is the incorrect mount that I was initally given that has slowed this whole progress down. The one on the bottom is the correct Celica mount. Just an FYI.  Picture of one of the shocks in place.  These are all pics of how she is sitting right now.     The car rides great, I haven't bottomed out once, and I'm still on the softest rebound settings. I will probably stiffen them up a bit after a few weeks when they are finally broken in. I'm running just over 1 degree of camber in the front, and around .5 degree's in the rear Wheel hop and loss of traction in first and second have been nearly eliminated. Hoping it's gone after the new wheels and stickier tires. I gave myself whiplash in 2nd gear while beating the piss out of an integra on the way home yesterday, because I wasn't expecting for the car to hook up so well in 2nd going into full boost. Enjoy. --------------------  |

My wheels arrived early!!! So naturally it was instantly install time!!! These are XXR530's 17x8.25 +25 offset wheels wrapped with 225/45/17 Nitto NeoGen tires.
It isn't daylight here where I am right now, so I'll be sure to add more pictures during the day, so for now you're going to have to settle for Gas Station/Garage pictures.

Rubbing rear fenders means you're doing it right. Get those rolled ASAP! I hope that in a year or so I can get a set of coilovers. Teins will have to do for now.

Catering to popular demand here. This is as low as she is gonna go. Already having axle problems from the car being slightly higher than
when I was on the Teins. So I'm going to replace my front right, and hope the front left doesn't deside to break.
