All bushings changed, subframe and diff repainted with VHT chassis epoxy paint. I painted all the rest of the under braces too.

Sexy new coilovers from Fortune
Rear springs in. Was setting ride height without the shock in first
Fortune front coils & Z1 upper arms
As it sits as of Thursday. I need to raise the rear up about a half inch. When i set the rear right height I didn't take into account putting preload on the springs.
Since the Z1 arms are a chore to adjust, I am trying to get them as close to -2* as possible to cut down on labor when it gets aligned. I have the passenger at 2* according to my Iphone being pressed against the brake rotor, the drivers side still needs work as that's at -3.7*.
I did a few cosmetic things while I was waiting on a few parts to arrive.
Rear duck bill (My friends LS1 FD in the back ground)
Mocking up the front lip. Thinking to black out the bumper mouth and paint the outer parts of the lip white like what people do with the 3 piece Evo-R lip. Also you can kinda make out the blacked out the headlight housings and paint matched shrouds.
That's pretty up to date. I'll be finishing the adjustments today after work and taking the car to get aligned on monday.
