Default New Guy from Atlanta, GA

Just picked up an 87 323 Sedan. Still trying to get to know it and get used to it, but its a pretty decent car. needs some minor maintenance and a ton of upgrades, but soon it will be a great car. Right now, its completely stock. I found some performance parts in a junkyard, and its about to have the rear disc brake conversion with brembo disc brakes, KYB GR-2 shocks and struts around with H&R coilovers, and a borla exhaust system.

You're going to put shocks, struts AND coilovers on the car??

Does Borla make a system for an 87 sedan? Or would you have an exhaust shop make one up using Borla pieces?

well i went to a local junkyard and found an 88 that had the suspension and the exhaust on it, and simply got it from there. everything still works cause it was hit in the front... not hard but enough to total out the vehicle.... their loss is my gain.... so it was probably custom made lol

Very Cool!! I used to do a lot a' stuff with junkyard findings. A good place to shop if you have the time and a good source (junk yard) in your area.

I hope you also got the brake proportioning valve for the rear disks? I'm sure the frt-rear balance will be different from drums to disks.
