i'm getting under it tomorrow and checking things out...i can't believe how clean this thing is...underneath and all...are the stock springs red or are those aftermarket???

everything under the hood appears stock when compared to fotos...my rear brakes are a lil grooved, but that didn't phase me...dealer can worry bout that right?!?!?

Sportlines or SSC springs...and as far as the rear brakes go...

I bet u have an aftermarket dp, since you have springs and the stage kit, unless the previous owner swapped it out to sell.

can't wait to find out in the morning...the car pulls way harder than a stock speed3 and i just drove one like a week ago, so the feeling is still fresh and the ss pulls to redline (i can feel a lil difference as i get close, but nothing like how the speed3 drops off at like 5800rpm)

can't wait to see some surprised faces in my rearview

If you got a car with pedders then you are damn lucky. Best springs available.

there was a yellow SS/TC Sedan that was sold with pedders on it. Seeing how rare they are, you probably snagged it.

Until some one who had one has to have it again for the nostalgic feeling .

If you ever sold a bike or something and really regret it then you know how that feels.

It'll take you 5 minutes to jack it up a little to look. Cop got me for 74 in 55, I was passing someone.
