The lowest part of the L-bar is higher than the middle rolled part of the splitter (the picture makes it look not to be the case but its just the angle). I have Sept. 7 circled as the date to do the final install as I will be busy between now and then. Also hope to have my new wheels in and mounted by then as well. Stay tuned....


Thank you. I look forward to seeing pictures of it installed.

I empathize with your lack of free-time. I am at the airport now for another in a series of trips. My first weekend free is September 21. My Swifts and Konis are not going to install themselves, dammit.

I do not miss airports. I will be sure to post up pictures of it once installed. I need to finally make one of those journals capturing the progress of the car to date. I love my Swifts. I'm sure the Koni's will make that setup even better. I would say you need to get those installed ASAP on the 21st but you are in Cali so plenty of nice driving weather left.

I had the Koni/Swift setup on my 40th Anniversary and you cannot do any better. It was exactly the way the car should handle. Unfortunately, a speeding driver in a 1993 Nissan pickup truck decided I should not have such pleasures and hit me, totaling my baby.

My 2013 is coming along nicely though. The suspension is the remaining work I need to do.

I didn't realize you are in a '13 now that sucks to hear about your 40th. Glad to see you are getting the new one back where you want it.
