Coils have been acquired!!
Bought Adam Wags old set of BC Racing BR series. Got to installing them last night. Was too excited to take any photos of the coils themselves. It started to rain as I was finishing up, so I didn't get around to adjusting them. The rears need to come down a hair and the fronts a decent amount. I don't think I'll slam it, just want tire to fender.

Not too much to update currently. Haven't fully adjusted the coils down in the back because I know I'll have to raise 'em back up in about two weeks when the winter wheels go on.
Shinin' at the car wash
Did a little research for bigger brakes for this pos. Nobody likes to make anything for the 4 lugs, so I pieced together a nice upgrade. Found out about doing this on one of the facebook groups, and after asking with a few people it's a pretty cheap upgrade for these teeny stockers.
LSJ Calipers. Clearance at RockAuto. Don't think I'll be keeping the red, but couldn't beat the price
Mini Cooper rotors. Again on clearance, didn't necessarily want slotted and drilled, but the price was right. Nice 50mm upgrade over the stockers.
Picked up some pads too that were on clearance, not sure how they'll perform, but it's not like I'm doing any sort of Auto X/Track days.
Everything should bolt up right on the stock knuckle which should be great. I'll document the process once I get them on. Unfortunately it'll probably have to wait until spring because I'm pretty sure they're not going to fit with my 15" steelies with winter tires. I got the tires new last winter so I'd rather get a little more use out of them.
