To my knowledge no one makes a bolt in kit for a set of coilovers that are a bolt in application.

Sorry you want to f*cking split hairs Chris? Classic 'American' car guys. You know what I meant. Don't feed the flame.

Aha! I thought they were coilovers. The price doesn't seem so high anymore.

But yeah, beefier sway bars, change all the suspension bushings (polyurethane is a nice upgrade, but sacrifices ride comfort) and change the strut mounts while you're at it. Also: look into camber correction plates/arms/kits, lowering it will throw the camber off and you'll need to correct it.

Personally I would not worry about the correction plate and such for the suspension unless your alignment shop cannot get it straight. There is a lot of adjustability with the suspension to compensate for it. If you do need it let me know I wasted my cash on a set off offset bolts for the control arms that I can send you.



When you get the suspension drop me a line I will send you the short cuts on how to install the front springs and save your sanity while doing so.

IIRC, the way the suspension is, lowering it a decent amount (like 1.5" - 2") will bring about negative camber. The average alignment shop usually does not like messing with camber adjustments for a lowered car, I'd find a shop that deals with lowered cars and has technicians who know what to do.

Never seen that style LED bulb before, what brand are they?

SuperBrightLEDs.com They specialize in plug and play and 99% of the time have a perfect fit. I go to them for all of my LED lighting.

Also some more goodies:

Here are the photos for the updates from around 5/24/ - 5/31 of 2014 on this car. I don't have exact dates because I fell behind.

This was about three weeks ago, we fixed my horribly rusty battery tray, apparently they like to rot on Fieros:

More powder coating and stuff will be done soon, when I have money... starting to exhaust my funds on this car. Especially because the turn signals keep on failing to function. Replaced the flasher once already, failed again a week ago and I have parked it for now.

From the first picture, i thought that you were going to have to refab your own. Looked rusted through :lol: Lots of surface rust, I guess?

Yeah there was a lot. Some of it did go all of the way through, didn't take pictures of all of the new metal that was welded on.
