Coil-overs???
How long is a piece of string?
Many different trains of thought on what works.
As Tony Montana would say:
In this country, you gotta make the money first.
Then when you get the money, you get the power.
Then when you get the power, then you get the women.

I am very amazed at how straight the body of this rs has turned out to be, only one imperfection over the whole car, i've never owned a car with as straight body as this.

 

stay tunned for colour and clear next weekend :)
