Installed the coilovers and modified my kammback a couple days ago at my brothers. I didn't take any pics of the actual process as I only had a day and a half to get things done before I had to drive back home, but I have a few "after" pics, and can take more if anybody wants me to.

The coilover install was pretty simple and straight forward. The coilovers are a set of Raceland Ultimos. They're pretty inexpensive and offer a lot of ride height adjustability. I can probably go about another inch or so lower if I wanted to, but I think the ride height is pretty much perfect for me right now. I don't have any caster/camber adjustability right now, so I'll be monitoring my tire wear and if it looks like I need to align them in the future I'll purchase some adjustable upper control arms.

For the kammback, I just cut it shorter in length (from 18" off of the back of the rear roofline to 12"), and cut it shorter on the sides. My goal was to make the sides resemble The Donkey CRX's kammback on the White VX, and I think they came pretty close. I'm a lot happier with the way that it looks now compared to before. Even if it wont offer the same aerodynamic benefit.

Enough of me talking, here's a few pics.

After







Thanks for looking guys! Let me know what you think.
