OK, cool. I was asking because I want to roll my fenders and the guys that did yours were obviously skilled and had the right equipment. If they had had a problem then anybody else would, too..

I was very lucky with the equipment. I borrowed it from Lucas at CarZ Customs in Denver. He had recently gotten one, but no one else in the state has one that I know of, and then I was lucky that Tony had actually used one before. After watching him for hours, it is NOT something I'd want to try myself or have someone else do who has no experience...

Warrtalon, are you using an aftermarket rear sway bar? As I understood it Paul's Ohlins and the additional parts were made to work with the stock bar. If your on an aftermarket piece, were they adjusted any differantly to compensate?

No, stock sways. I chose to do 0 suspension upgrades until I did a full upgrade. Lots of people buy little bits and pieces along the way that don't really do anything and end up with a frankenstein suspension that doesn't help much. I tried to master the stock suspension and push it to its limit, then I did a full suspension upgrade at once, so I have no odds and ends that weren't necessary.

I do hate stickers, which is why I only have 1. Exedy required it, but I have magnets for the rest.

Congrats on the build Warr ... I hope to have my Vishnu-ized Ohlins R/T on my car next year. Good choice! Would you mind telling us how much it cost you total?

Warrtalon, thanks for another informative and interesting thread! It's helping me decide what route I will take with my car. I wish mine were GG like yours, and for the record, I for one think the silver wheels look fantastic on the GG and wouldn't spend the money changing that, but graphite looks good too. Love your course of upgrades.
Sorry if this is a dumb question, but do you think the same people/department would be willing to work on my car? I live in New Mexico, and it's a bit harder to find good help around here than in CO.

Yes, they would, and I can get you in touch with them if you'd like.
