Nice Seats!!!

They are UBER Comfortable!

The 3 Points are on the way...

Torino 2's? Price? Material? Brackets?

Just wondering what you ended up doing to get yours and how you like the color and how it matches the stock interior. Cant decide on that color or black/grey. I want to be different, yet practical.

The Suspension (Rear) is being done today.

I also shaved the door guards off so I have some glue to remove...

I'm planning to get a 1 1/2" Stripe made out of the same "Decal" Brushed Aluminium s*** that my other ones are made out of for the door...

They were a private sale from a member of www.torontoprotege.com who was upgrading his car. The brackets were custom made and it looks like it took the better part of a day to make them. At first I was worried about the grey in a whit car. He had a dark blue car and they looked really good, I'm lovin it now that the interior is coming together...






My seats when they were in the dark blue car...

[Brian MP5T]

Thanks for your hepl Maclum today! The Job of rear suspension is done... 2 Hours from start to finish and no unexpected problems...

Here is the new "Firm Planted" Rear end for MP5T...

 

[daedalus]

WOOOOOOOT WOOOOOOOT!!!! Thats hot man! You have really gone all out. Even I ran out of money before I could do anything besides coilovers and awr endlinks. You got arms, and the swaybar... MY jaw is on the floor. You are my new hero.

 

[Brian MP5T]

Well I hope it's all worth it. People who have it say that it makes the car totally level and almost able to either Skid flat, or "Tripod" depending on how good the tires are...

Shouldnt be too dificult with Yokohama Parada Spec-2 205-35-ZR18"
They aren't the best tire in the world according to some, but OMG are they ever stickey!

[vindication]

their's brians sexy legs again
on a side note, I cant wait to install my awr bar too. Aren't you running the endlinks a little to far on the bar? most I've seen are like 3-4 inches up from where you have it. Also, is it better to run the swaybar over those crossbars or under or it doesn't matter?

 

[vindication]

ohh, another thing, paint those calipers

 

[Brian MP5T]

Under, and yes you can move the "Blocks" closer to the pivot on the bar, it is supposed to stiffen up the bar if you are running stock struts. I am going to see it here first and then decide...

 

[daedalus]

ohh, another thing, paint those calipers

Ditto.

JUST NOT WHITE!

Parada's aren't bad tires...but are far from sticky... Once you get into Azenis, or F1GSD3's or MX's or even VictoRacer's or Advan's... THAT is sticky . But they are teh sexy
