:-) I've brought some, from H&R www.h-r.com and the ride is more hard, the suspension get more hard, so in strong words, (if you drive over a coin, you can feel if the heads up) :-) but that's not true.

I Love it.

And the answer to the intake. ! I've made it my self, with a K&N filter, and a power blanket , and a intake tupe, with the dia. of 49 mm.
Cut some of the original hose, to get the new one to fit right. No probs. because it made of soft rubber.

Got a load full of pctures, so if..... mail me.

My Eibach Pro Kit is coming in next week with the new 15" chrome rims. Can't wait! But i'm wondering... should i get a 15" or a 16" rim? I know the 16 will make my car much heavier then but I don't mind having it for a while until i change my engine to a starlet 1.3 next year. What do u think i should do. stick with 15 or get a 16 and never have to change it again? Do let me know what u think!
