I started on it today and made a small progress. First I wanted to to swap the suspension and the brakes. Didn't get as far as I wanted bc of the rain but completed the front.
I've been running Megan coilovers with 8k Tanabe springs up front. It made for a nice ride, but the springs will have to be recoated or replaced in the future. Still have the Megans too, but I'm not sure what directions I'll be going. New boots are also in order. Lower portion of struts have been re-powdercoated.
And in with my DIY endlinks.
Also keeping my front brakes for now: Baer BBK. For reference,
BAER (PBR) caliper vs OEM caliper:
The same caliper vs my EVO8 Brembo. (I might convert if I find the right set of wheels, once I'm done with everything else.):
BAER 13.1'' discs vs the OEM. This setup has been very good to me, had it for years and still has lots of life in it.
And all together:
Face off:
Rears will follow next week.
