Posting for Miles, who is going to be joining [FJ] shortly...
If you remember my recent Rigz thread featuring both my silver 2.3 and Miles' white 2.3... here's his car now with the addition of a set of brand new '08 "snowflake" wheels and brand new Pirelli P6 FourSeasons tires...
We just installed the SVT Suspension Kit onto this car; the kit consists of four coil springs, four dampers (struts and shocks) and a 1 mm bump in size of the rear sway bar from the stock ZX3's 20 mm to the SVT's 21 mm.
The car was purchased used last summer for a very fair price; the engine and driveline have been seemingly unabused. With the fresh SVT suspension and fresh tires, this thing is like a new car but in reality has 90,000 miles.
Here's a shot from the day three weeks ago that we installed the suspension:

And, yesterday, after installing the snowflakes:

The car is a base model 2.3 5-speed "strippo" (rather than the then-common-back-in-the-day, "stripper" lol) and had no armrest center console... so Miles found one on craigslist and we replaced it:

Hope you like it!
