This guy bolts his suspension in and the car looks like it's taking a nose dive into the ground, so he cuts holes in the rear shock towers, welds some sewer pipe and big honkin' slabs of metal to support it and bolts the suckers in 4 inches higher to lower the rear of the car. I give him props for doing things mere-mortal non-ME-types would do and not making me feel like a dumbass the entire time I'm reading his thread.

He's a good friend of mine , and everything on that car had been well thought out and planned.

PS: he also built one of the nicest S13's in the country, before devoting more time back to his Z31. kolar and i have been friends for holy shit, about ten years now.
