My car is lowered finally

Cloudy day so the pictures aren't so great:


No, my neighboor doesn't want to race........ :laugh:
I just love the clean, taut lines of the 1G.  Looks better than the RX-8, IMHO.

Lowering it that bit really sets it off.

I never measured fender gap, either before or after, so I don't know what the drop really is.

The TEINS have camber plates on the front, which are maxed out, and the front end alignment is completely in spec.

The rear end has slotted inboard lower control arm mounts (on the diff).  Camber is in spec, but the rears are toed out ever so slightly.   My eccentric washers in the toe adjusters are worn, new ones are on order, and this should get my toe in spec, and probably just barely......

Ricer?  Thats it. Get me a grinder, those Tein stickers are coming off!  :laugh:
