Yeah I wish I took a shot of the engine bay. You could have eaten off that thing.

More time and miles will tell for sure, but I'm thinking I'm going to be very satisfied overall.

Luna... gorgeous car bro.

So did you have the calipers colored red just like the 40th calipers? I also like your rotors. What type are those?

As for the swift springs, those look great. So all you changed are the springs, then left the OEM shocks? Any foreseeable issue with this? Or is it perfectly acceptable to run aftermarket springs with stock shocks?
