hey bruce

the coil over was High Low kits from r-speed.com it for the 96 so i was wonering if it would fit 98...this what it says..bump stops, adjustable cylinders, coil spring, cylinder locking and keys..

so please let me know asap or if you know any 96 coil over that will fit my 98 let me know

well to be honest , I know the suspension is the same , but you should know that it is better to use springs , as coilovers don't fit in the rear strut mount properly , the spring is supposed to hug outside the mount and the coilover will not sit like this ,, so I really don't advise coilovers ,, I would get a set of BG extreme springs , from like corksport or somewhere ...

Well since I have puchased my car (95 LX) I have done routine maintainance such as new plugs, plug wires, brakes, cleaned the injectors, and oil change with synthetic. I have also put a JL 10" with a eclipse amp in the trunk, ordered the Ractive intake and plan to run a vent down to the spoiler for a CAI effect. I am pricing getting my timing belt changed for piece of mind reasons (75k miles). I am looking at tires at this moment but need to find a set of 15" that will fit properly because it has a 2" approx drop (I cant afford rims just yet). I am also looking at getting a custom header and possible a NX nitrous kit a little later. I am going to take some pics after I get the intake in so as to show ya'll my new ride..

bring is on bro, take all the pics , go to imagestation and sign up and then link away man .... I am glad to see you are getting your mods going ,, wich state are you from ,, also the timing belt may run you about 500 to get done, should be a bit cheaper if you buy all the parts and give it to a mechanic to put in ,..
you will need
water pump
alternator belt
power stearing belt
timing belt
valve cover gasket
might as well change the upper and lower radiator hoses and flush the anifreeze...

Well the latest quote I got was $225 for all the belts and labor, the radiator hoses are less than a year old and the radiator was flushed recently so Im good there. Im also looking at changing the lights in the instrument cluster to blue, easy stuff. I will be posting the pics on my webpage along with my computer mods ( Im a big GEEK)..

Bruce95fmla

you should have them change the water pump also , cause it is right there when they pull the engine down and therefore they should just change it while in there

My next mod is a strut bar. I already have it, it is only a matter of installing it. Next is the CAI, and then a muffler. Can any one tell me should I go for a muffler alone, or for the whole system. And I should which are the good mufflers. I heard the Hooker muffler give you more power and are not VERY loud. Thanks.

Bruce95fmla

When you do get the muffler put on , I would recomend just having the put the muffler on froom over the axle back ,cause when they take it down to the cat, it is nice , but the damn cheap weld comes off after a year

Yes, finally, I got my strut bar, and it went on in a snap. It took me 15 mins putting it on. Though I cannot tell whether the car is handling better. I took some familiar corners at same speed, and it felt better. Didi anyone else feel a little difference? Just wondering. Next step is CAI

Bruce95fmla

yup , the front chassis , will have a lot less flex
