Strut Upgrade - May 2005

Replaced my HPs with Illuminas, muchos gracias to Jason (Cutler), Josh (Irish44J), Jason (Soonerfan), and the Snap On impact gun.

RSB - June 2005

Finally got a Progress RSB to see what the hype is all about... thanks to Jason (Soonerfan) for help with the install.

Initial thoughts: cornering is definitely flatter and the rear seems more in control, but its nothing amazing. It probably didn't make that huge of a difference since my struts and springs were already upgraded.

Looking good man, very clean! Any new upgrades? If you get a chance bro take a look at my page, might give you some ideas, I'm runnin 350Z wheels, CF Invader hood and F1 fenders R33 kit might be a nice addition to your car. Oh and check back soon just got the CF trunk mounted! it's only 15lbs. Lighter car means better fuel economy and More POWER! Just a thought bro don't go changing if you don't wanna.
