How was the install? GS's site says "unconfirmed fit" for the LGT, but I assume nothing needed to be actually modified?

Yep no issues on fitment, install was easy for me.

Got in on the initial batch at $850 shipped. It isn't true UEL though but I'm not mad about it since I was going to go EL anyway. GS was calling it a "hybrid" in the Facebook group, but yea it's more on the EL side.

Java, did you do your suspension upgrade? I am looking at doing this next and repairing all the bushing at the same time. What suspension did you go with?

Haven't yet, I'm still deciding on what to go with. I know for sure I'll do Whiteline rear lateral links and Mevotech front control arms. Then eventually the rest of the bushings. But as far as the coils or springs I can't really decide. I really want to do Feal or any of the available coilovers with Swift springs. But lately I've been reverting to Tein Flex Z's or a basic lowering spring setup but even that's going to be within the same range with all new parts. But we'll see what the budget allows or I'll just gut it out for now.

I've been battling a coolant leak lately so my attention had turned to that. But I think I resolved it so I can get back to focusing on suspension. However my focus flip flops between taking care of suspension and moving forward with power mods and fuel upgrades LOL

My god lower that thing please I Now REALLY like my 18s on a 40 series lower some. I am going to 17s with a 45 series for winter. 250 is very nice. you can do more with the 6 speed once you get more parts.

Yea it hurts to look at the car sometimes, especially the front gap. Still deciding if I'll go a budget route or not.

Purchased #129 back in March. I believe I'm the 5th owner at this point. It has lived quite a life on the east coast and in Texas.

Since I bought it, I've had to spend quite a bit just to fix and upgrade worn or broken parts. Had to get it properly tuned but so far she's been running pretty good. I tackled fixing the AC recently and I've been chasing cylinder 3 roughness issues which turned out to be coil pack thankfully. Spent more than I paid for already and I probably overpaid for it but hey it's a project car and I always wanted a Spec.B.

I have a VF52 waiting to put on next. I'll likely do that along with a full top feed conversion, new lines etc and flex fuel. I think I might go ELH and do an EWG as well while it can still be tuned. But before I continue with the power I must upgrade the suspension!
