Please lord save one for me LOL. illpayne I hope we meet up one day. I'm in Glendale.

Finally getting around to having these installed. The Ikeya Formula parts compared to the stock parts are night and Day. The Ikeya parts are a bit heavy, but you can see the quality in parts which is top notch. The pillow mounts are the way to go.

Shown are:

Adjuster lower rear arm
Traction adjuster rod
Rear camber adjuster upper arm

All parts laid out on the table. Missing in picture are the tie end rods

As the process continues with upgrading the suspension, I'm also replacing the inner and outer tie rods and ball joints. Just freshing up the car with newer parts. 26 year old car problems hahaha.

Thanks! Had some set backs due to getting parts delivered. Have everything now. By the time I return from vacation, it'll all be done. Then it'll be time to start the one of the other things I want to do. I'm adding a camera to the passenger mirror to see on coming traffic on the left side when passing or making a left turn. The camera will active on my radio display screen when I hit the blinker. should be pretty cool when completed.

Found it on amazon for $10. I'm going to test the video feed soon to see if it's worth it. If not, back to the drawing board. I'll post progress.

Nice I like it. Post up when its done.

Was finally able to pick this these up today after coming back from Japan this morning. It's nice to have things waiting for you when you return from vacation.

n1 bumper and lip(needs to be painted gunmetal), nismo 260kmh speedometer, door seals, trim, interior door handles, transmission cooler replacement, and C pillars. Can't wait to get these all installed.

nice, its a good feeling when you start installing new parts to your pride and joy, gives you a sense of satisfaction. the parts that you are removing were they just worn out by old age?
