Just wanted to post some pics of my B13 before I put on the Hyperco/Koni suspension.

Update: Here are the after shots:

Put some pics up after the drop so you can compare the before and after the drop.

Very nice looking car. I am very interested in seeing the after-drop pics.

Thanks guys. I am installing the suspension during Xmas/New Year's break. I am modifying the struts so I can shorten them by about a inch. Should make for an awesome combo w/ the 1 inch drop of the Hyperco's. Post install pics will be up soon.

I bet it will look 10 times better, especially with those rims.

I finally got the suspension done. Check above for new pics.

wow that seems like alot of work. good write up bro. by the way how did you get those centercaps on the rotas to fit??

Wow, I'm amazed he got the rears to fit. I guess it is possible by removing the grease cap, but i'm not sure I'd want to do that. I managed to get the fronts to fit by sawing about 1" off the end of the axle. But then the brakes got hot enough to melt the centre cap off

Thanks for the compliments! Even though it was a lot of work, I think it was the best mod on the car yet. I keep coming up for reasons to hop in the car and go for a drive whenever I get a chance

My wife keeps wondering where I disappear off to

Yep, I removed the dust caps in the rear to fit the center caps. I hosed the wheel down with high pressure water and then pulled the cap to see if any water got inside the hub, and there was none, so I am not real worried about it. But, I am going to make new dustcaps, or fashion up some kind of seal just to be absolutely safe.

On the fronts I did the same as FastNX, I sawed about 3/4" off the axle end.
