I'm going to go a little bit lower. I am already having a fun time driving around with the stock bumper height as is, and my kit is much lower.

Some info.

If you had the little fender liners(There will be holes on the inner fender lip), it's a PITA to roll without getting little dents in those areas.

Are you gonna pull the rear subframe to do the bushings? If you do, I need a favor.

For their adjustable rear lower arm for the IS300 (JZX110) I'd agree and realize that. For their other arms, I don't believe that it's the case. I bought these when they first dropped and had to wait as they were still manufacturing them in house. I don't know if its the same for the S Chassis items as well.

Megan Racing currently doesn't produce rear (or front) suspension bits for my current chassis. I know that they do make engine and transmission mounts, and some other smaller bits.

I'll have to take a look again, I believe the front is like that. The rear, not so much. I'm planning to take it to a local pro so that I can get it done right the first time around.

As to the bushings, if I get the time I plan to do it myself (with help). If I'm pressed for time, I'll just take it to a local trusted shop and have them install everything.

Let me know what you need, and I can see if I can help you out.

Alright so my care package from Driftmotion has arrived. I had ordered a bunch of refresh items (Cam seals, valve gasket set, exhaust gaskets, etc) and main item, the Tomei elbow...

I also have been spending time on Up Garage and YAJ (I really shouldn't) and found a HPI turbo manifold on the cheap. So cheap that I couldn't pass on it, so the email was sent to Streeter and it's on it's way!

Also had him order up a J-pipe delete kit from HPI so those two items should leave around the same time (fingers crossed). Since I'm sticking with a bottom mount setup, I'll be looking for a CT15B replacement as mine is getting rather tired, and up there in KM's. Checking to see what the turnaround time would be for rebuilding the stock one with larger steel internals (or billet).

And speaking of Streeter, the gauges have arrived as well...

I have no clue as to where I'm going to mount all of these so I'll be looking to see where other owners have placed them. I was toying with the idea of cutting into the dash, and installing them above the glove box... But Damon says otherwise HAHA!

I also managed to take this thing in for an alignment...

Good times

Now that it's sorted, I will get the fenders rolled, and lower it a bit more. Other then that, I've been driving this thing around, and enjoying it!
