RB Springs, KYB installed, rolling resto build update

Couple of pics on my rolling resto. Had the RB springs and KYB installed yesterday. Sits a little higher (stock spring had some serious sag LOL). Much better steering and handling is quite a bit better.

Nice pics!

Maybe it's riding higher due to gravity?
Damn those tires are sticky!

I think you have to rotate them with an image editor before you upload. There doesn't seem to be a method to do it once inserted into the post, from what I can see.

First fill up after purchase



Not detailed or cleaned (morning after shake down run). Much easiler to turn and handles much better with new suspension.



Car actually sits up a little higher with the RB spings, man the old stock spring must have had some serious sag. Konig w/ tires due in next week.

Konig Rewinds installed with 195/50/15. What a nice match with RB springs. Zero clearance issues.
