Must have been expensive, but they look fantastic. The only other seats I'd consider, besides tiger SS-III seats or confetti Recaro ST205 units. Only question, do they come in cloth as well?

I picked up the fabric and tested it. Removed the headline+sunroof shade and brought to a shop. Did my door panels as well!

Fortunately enough, put her in storage before the storm. Thank you for your concern, could of been real bad.

Need some opinions:
I am planning to purchase a set of BC coilovers and will be doing custom spring rates. I was thinking 10k front and 8k rear as I know many FWD hondas run it without issue. Would the stiffer spring rates negatively effect handling as I know there comes a point in suspension basics where too much is no good. Planning to also purchase ST sway bars and replace all bushings both front and rear with polyurethane. Oh ya:

I feel like a heavier spring rate in the rear is better for our cars due to massive under steer. It ballances out and I've made the rear kick out first a few times now. Upgraded the rear with urethane bushings on the sway bar and Moog end links. Also run a harder setting on my shocks. Idk much about the spring rate of the factory springs, but the red eibachs ive got hands great.
Aaparently the D2 RS's that I bought (coilover) have higher spring rates than the BC BR's, which will benefit me when I go low. Don't know if those would work well for your setup though. However they do have upper camber adjustment on the rear mounts/tophats. -------------------- 1994 Toyota Celica GT-S 5S-FE 190k Miles. Project car 1992 Toyota Celica GT 5S-FE 170k Miles.
