Did you clearance the chassis to accommodate the adjustable lateral links since you are using the solid subframe risers, and diff mounts? If so can you show a picture of how much needed to be clearanced?

Thanks!
Awesome! They're really fun cars, I do miss mine.
I haven't because they aren't hitting the chassis, but the car isn't on the ground yet. Once my wheel/tire setup comes the car will be put on the ground so I can fine tune everything. Once that happens I'll update this with what I end up doing

Couple quick updates:
Received new OEM front hard lines thanks to Atkins
Hawk HPS pads and Russel lines for the front
Made some carbon fiber plates for my RE-A mirrors as well. Came out halfway decent, might need to smooth the edges a little but these will do! They don't flow at all with the stock body, but eventually it'll all come together.
Finished all my brakes and suspension! Bled them yesterday, they feel pretty solid.
Finally got to roll it out real quick as well flip it around in my garage. Still pretty rough looking, but feels good to have all the suspension and brakes done.
Hope to tackle all the needed body work and have it resprayed soon.

Might rustle some jimmy's with this one - but the car is painted...not white lol.
Even though the car is a 10th anniversary edition, which I feel like I need to keep it in "original" condition - I also wanted to restore this thing my way with colors I like. I decided to go with black!
Quick test fit with my Advan RG's wrapped in 255/40 Advan AD08R's
Mocked up my RE Amemiya spoiler and mirrors
Again - probably wont be everyones cup of tea and might **** off some purists - but all in all I'm very happy with the way this car is coming out. All new seals/moldings next, along with finishing the rest of the exterior.

Still making some slow progress.
Cutting and buffing the body, coming together though.
Restored the headlights and surrounds
Got the rear done, so finally put the lights etc back on. Got some tags too!
Hopefully the rest of the body will be back together this week.

Good work, i like all the work underneath. When you get a chance to drive it in anger let us know what you think of the suspension bits.
I must say im a bit of a purist though and would rather see stock mirrors and wing ha ha.

Haha someday I might go back to stock, but for now let's have some fun with it!
Picked up some RPF1's for the car. The Advans were too aggressive for what I'd like to do with it! Sizes are 17x9 +35 up front and 17x10 +38 in the rear wrapped in 255/40 Advan AD08's. Front tires will be here next week!
Gotta have at least one shot of the kiddo with the car! haha
Picked up a motor from my buddy, imported S5 swap. It came incomplete, but I had some spare parts laying around and made it almost complete! (hence the S4 tmic lol)
Should go in the car soon!
