How do you like the Koni yellows with the Eibach Sportline springs? I was looking into a set of the yellows but have read that with the Sportline springs that the ride was bad.

Very cool Ryan! The blue calipers look good!

I have had zero issues. I read that too and was a little worried but glad I stuck with the sportlines. Mine is not a daily but the ride is more comfortable that it was with stock shocks amd struts. As long as you have the shorter bump stops that came with the sportlines you will be fine.

Thanks I like the look just wish they popped a little more. Still debating on painting them yellow in the future

Man that just tells you how bad the stock shocks and struts really are. They have no rebound or damping.

What color? To do paint match powder coat I was quoted 250 or something like that. For yellow it's like 100. The color isn't off because I did a crappy job painting it's just the difference in material, no primer etc. In person it's really not that much off just didn't pop like I was wanting it to.

I guess just any color. I was thinking about doing red for mine. $250 doesn't seem too bad. I know the guy that does powder coating on SVTP will tear them down, coat them, and then reassemble them with new something (brain fart) and it's not too bad of a cost. Don't know an exact number though.

Yea he was the 250 quote. I will see how this paint holds up and if it doesn't like the temps of racing I will prolly powder coat them

Finally got the tires mounted to the rims. Cant wait to test them out next weekend

**DirtyD** · 01-17-2014, 06:17 PM

Dammit that looks so badass. I'm really kicking myself right now.

**JDMLOL** · 01-17-2014, 08:41 PM

I agree. I sort of bought my anniversary wheels on impulse because of the deal on them and wasn't sure if I really liked them or not. I'm glad I bought them now!

**El_Tortuga** · 01-17-2014, 08:56 PM

Nice. What are the tires?
