I wanted to do that too... but I got some huge doctor bills and had to sell my '94 after I had a B16 and N2O in it...

i had that then i got the progress bar, im gonna be taking out my springs though, its just too much for my car especially for being in NY, hell with it, im jus gonna go on stock springs, Gearbox, if you are interested i got a set of neuspeed sport springs that im willing to sell to a fellow armenian with less than 500 miles on em for a insanely cheap price. Otherwise i suggest dont drop your car if you got bumps in your area, with my tokicos and the springs even though handling is sick, every little bump sends spikes up my spine and with all the bars i have the chassis still is creaking.

I'm lowering on eibach prokit 1" when I get a chance. Hopefully ride won't be bad, but it's already very bumpy because of the seats.

im 100% sure, i commute 20 miles in and out of new york city everyday, hitting all those potholes and misc lil bumps does wonders on a chassis that wasnt mean to handle the vibrations and impacts of a stiff suspension. It those springs dont absorb those vibrations guess what does, the body. Just no worth it to drop your car if you plan on driving it alot where the roads arent good.

Eibach prokit? nah i doubt it will be bad, those are great springs, real good quality. It shouldnt be that bumpy either. BTW not to get off topic but how many original ground points are there in the factory ground wire set up? i followed the lil black wire and only got the chassis and then the block, am i missing something?

Oh sorry. Um, basically I ran three separate wires from the battery negative to each stock ground point. One is the stock chassis ground, another is stock tranny ground, and last is the thermostat (engine) mount ground. That's it. The only problem is I sanded the paint to get a better connection, but now the grounds got rusted and are covered in ice. I guess it's okay underneath tho.

Well yeah there's no point to ground the chassis in three places and all that. Only other thing would be upgrading the alternator power wire, but seems like alot of work.
