I’m installing my new wheels and suspension this week on my 90 GXL pics coming soon. Here is my list of goodies.
Wheels:
Enkei RPM2’s (Hyper Black) 17”x8”+35 front and 17”x9”+40 rear
Tires:
Falken FK451’s 225/45 front and 255/40 rear
And yes this rim and tire set up will fit on a bone stock suspension I did a test fit before I took my suspension apart.
Suspension:
Energy Suspension Polyurethane kit
Suspension Tech. 1” Lowering Springs
KYB AGX Struts
KYB Strut Boots
Eibach front and rear sway bars
Front and Rear adjustable sway bar end links
Tein front pillowball upper mount (adjustable camber plate)
Tein rear pillowball upper mount (non adjustable)
New front inner and outer bearings and bearing races
I’m not finished yet, just got to save a few more $$$$ for a couple more parts.

Tokico Blues
Some kinda of springs, no clue, they dont have any labels on them, but with all the paperwork i got with the car it said Eibach on one form and Tokico on the other, i dunno . . . Looks good though IMO, might upgrade to adjustable shocks later on i dunno, right now they're great.

Tokiko Blues, Tanabe GF210's, Energy bushings all around, and Montgomery Bushings (DTSS eliminators, rear diff mounts, and subframe mounts). As soon as I finish painting them, I'm puting on some 16X7" RSL Ikari's on, and I'll take pictures.
lol.....yes, thats a picture of me..... couldnt resist!!
that is the tattoo shop i work at....... i love it! yeah, i get alot of people that come in and want tats and piercings, but their worried about thier jobs, or trying to get one...... kinda sucks, but most of the time, they get what they want anyways_
yes, i painted the car myself......i was pretty easy, but temporary! although i do like it...its not me, she is going to be painted back to her original color!! white

_Yah, all my tattoos can be covered up with normal business attire, so that's okay, but piercings are hard to hide
yeah..piercings definently are hard to hide.... unless you use retainers..(clear plastic jewelry)..then they arent as noticable......
i got the fenders from b-magic (ait racing).....very similar to the corksports, but the vent looks better on the bmagics (im my opinion), and if you notice the pic that dDub posted, the front moulding is molded onto the fender...since i have the gp kit, the front bumper comes with the mouding molded on it..so i would have had to shave it off of one of them..also, i think the corksports are 30mm and the b-magics are 20mm...

Racing Beat Springs (1" drop linear rate springs)
Tokico Illumina 5 Way Adjustable Struts
Kazera Wheels (16 lbs each, 16x7)
I find the suspension combination to ride well on the street with the struts on their softest setting. It's a little choppy on very rough roads. I just try to avoid the holes in the road. A harder setting for the struts has worked well during some limited autocross and road course driving. Just an FYI, because I almost went with the progressive rate Eibachs. I'm not dissapointed in my choice of the Racing Beat springs.
