Thought I would post up some pictures outside of my build thread. Here are some from a local club I'm a part of. Unfortunately my SSR's had a flat so I was rockin' the knockoff meshies with a terrible offset (except the first picture at the track)

13.8 isnt bad for the 1/4 is the sr stock?
got any vids?
awsome pics now you just need to lower it

LOL It's already lowered on Canuck springs and shorter struts (MR2 front, Foxbody rear), but I'm ordering the Bartco coilovers this winter while it's stored because it needs to be lowered drastically

The SR is at 12psi max (drops off really quickly cuz I had a boost leak at that time). Only mods are full 3" exhaust catless turbo-back, cone filter and large FMIC

awsome i wonder what my time well be in vegas im plannin on having the block built before i drop it in.....im guessing you have the stock turbo. im using forced performance big t28.

All I have to say about that Vegas is that you better have better suspension that I do.

The SSC springs and GR2 lowering struts did NOT hold up with the power I'm putting down. Tail likes to slam downward on shifts and generally handles like shit when accelerating.

I know it's a dead thread but just wondering... so the SSC are not good? about how fast were you going? I'm just wondering because I was about to buy the SSC springs but just wanted to get all the info I could.

It's not necessarily the speed, although over 90mph it got "lifty", it was more the 200-ish HP that made the back end sink down big time. I'm putting S13 front coilovers and 5x8" 350lb rear springs with a perch adjustment thing like in Mod-masta's old car. Plus... you can buy the 5x8's locally from any spring place for $175 and the adjustment pieces are $60. Then just get a S13 conversion for the front or a custom spring

New photos for this year. S13 Stance coilovers with 1" spacer in the rear coil. Refinished the wheels too and wrapped them in some Falken RT615's
