Hi all,
 
After selling my 97 Bathurst, I really regretted it (not having a sports car) and started looking around. Test drove a number of Porsche Boxsters, S2000s and such but could not keep myself away from another MR2. I just love the look of them and how they just stick to the road so well. I found a pretty tidy turbo one in the colour I want and the rest is history.

Looks great, good luck with finding TRD springs though. I've been hunting for them, but with no luck. I've ordered Eibach Pro-Kits instead.

I'll try my hardest but you're probably right. Do you know what the difference in ride height is between TRD and Eibach Pro-Kit?

Hey there EssDub :) Cheers for the spring recommendations in the other thread. It's too bad I live east of the border now, miss all the good times we had in the hills...
