    you'll see how awesome they are. especially on an older car like the 3g.
    I been considering painting my BMW bottlecaps but wasn't sure how it'd look. Now that I've seen that thread on honda-tech I've been inspired.

    FRONT

    Coils: Eibach pro kit springs
    Strut: Oem replacments
    Sway Bar: SEi swaybar (22.5mm)
    Bushings: All OEM minus sway bar bushings and endlinks. Those are PST polygraphite bushings

    REAR

    Coils: OEM
    Struts: Tokico Blues
    Sway Bar: Vigor sway bar (16mm)
    Bushings: All OEM

    Car handles beautifully. I was running Tokico bleus up front on OEM springs but the became worn. I temporarilly replaced them with the eibachs.
    No more 3G but that doesn't mean i cant look at yours...

    Re: The What's Your Suspension Consist of thread

    right now i have a completly rebuilt factory setup,with mostly moog parts, including urthane lower arm bushings,and radius rod bushings,also rebuilt brakes and arp fasteners and wheel studs. i also made my own sway bar link bushings out of urthane. and an lxi factory sway bar on the rear. i found the center section at a junkyard, and had to order the rest of it. bolts on it are also arp. still need to get thge alignment done though after putting in the new rack and tie rod ends. the wishbones were stripped to bare metal,and epoxied then painted.

    I like the way that car looks Bones

    Those wheels kind of look like 300 series bmw

    My suspension, bone stock other than 40 offset wheels 15 inch. .. it needs a lot in that area but I dont throw the car around that much. I plan on a set up pretty much like Ghettogeddy shows
