Maybe I should check my settings again but if I remember right the coilovers were actually quite a bit stiffer than stock. Not terribly rough but definitely feel bad roads a lot more.Great quality parts btw I like your taste

Hows the clutch? I can't decide between the act and SOS either. Did you stick with the ap2 flywheel?

thanks for looking guys, the turbo part should be done within the next few weeks.

still have a few things i'd like to do with the car exterior wise.. I do like to keep the OEM look and i told myself i'd stop spending money on this thing so we'll see

thanks man, appreciate it. I do agree with you.. at the time I wrote this I didn't put enough mileage on the coils.. but yeah they are definitely a good bit stiffer than stock over rough roads.

Clutch is great, i used an ap1 flywheel but it feels awesome. The pedal pressure is lighter than OEM which should alleviate any concerns you may have about your thrust bearing. The only drawback about the clutch is that the engagement is pretty harsh. You'll get a good amount of chattering in reverse and sometimes starting in first. It's by no means close to that of a six puck though, just not as OEM feeling as I would have liked it to be.

Awesome! I have a GPW/Tan as well and wish I had red seats and black and red carpet. Can't wait to see more progress!
