A19's new suspension....finally

So as the title says, I finally ended up getting the suspension my car badly required (thanks to Justin for the lightning fast order and delivery). After much debate, and your input, decided to go with the Progress/ KYB GR-2 set-up. The install took about 4 hours (or 2 cases of corona and 1 peking duck) whichever way you wanna look at it. Overall, I LOVE how the car sits (I know that it should settle a bit more from what I have understood), only negative thing I could say is that I was not a fan of getting @ss raped by Canadian customs (I guess that's to be expected)

Let me know what you guys think - pics below ->

The drop looks good and it's nice to see that color (or colour for you Canadians) on the Max. Not many in Cleveland with the orange.

yeah dude - I was looking for a nice set of blk ones with a nice lip, but our little guy was born in the meantime so I'm going to have to hold off on the shoes for now - she will have to stay with her stock ghetto sandals for the time being....

thanks buddy! - it surely is a life changer but you are 100% right - nothing better in the world. I can just imagine how it must be with a toddler and a 4 yr old on your end and wonder when do you have free time to do anything to the max

i recommend you paint the stock rims. they have black chrome spray paint that would look great on a sunset orange max like yours.
