Web address is re-speed.com.

I wish we could have gotten respeed.com. They are a Japanese to English document conversion company

just look at the site and other threads.......

Installation on existing strut is required. Look at the site. Read the installation manual available in the forum section.......

This is the ReSpeed kit. Only thing I did was machined and fabricate a lower perch which was more beafy than the one provided by ReSpeed. It is Tig Welded on. Everything else is the Respeed kit: coilovers and camber plates. I then painted it all. Those are 350# springs from ReSpeed.

first gens do not have "racks". You can not fit steering lock spacers to steering box systems.

Would the ReSpeed R&P unit be better for drifting than the stock unit, most definitely. It's simply better all around. If I hadn't spent so much upgrading mine with aftermarket performance parts, I'd be installing their power R&P unit.
