My ZX3 needed a drop badly, and the Eibach Pro-System is finally installed. What a difference can 1,5" make! The stance is sooooooo better now, and I feel a lot more secure in the twisties, a lot less body roll. I also just put on the Ford ground effects, it's subtle, but I love it, it's so much better than the unpainted plastic moldings that were there before. I don't think I will do any more major mods this year, I'm very satisfied with the exterior right now, and I plan to add an RS spoiler next year. I also added a Volant intake, but other performance mods will wait for now.
Here are the pics, the car was not perfectly clean.

It cost me 975$ CA with the installation and alignment. The kit itself is about 470$ US on the internet, but add shipping to that and I wouldn't have saved anything purchasing it from the web.

Good call. Car seems to be coming together very nicely. Next time you're in Ontario I'd love to see it in person.

I'd also like to see your car, looks like mine in some way, but you seem to have done a lot on the audio side. Unfortunately, I'm not planning to go to Ontatio anytime soon... What is your thought about underdrive pulleys?

Great looking ride. How did you get the light housing black? Crack open and paint?
Also what's the level of your tint? I'm trying to decide between 35% (functional) or 20% (looks).

The headlights are covered with black vinyl. The tint is 35% front and 20% back, I think it's perfect.
