Looks cool. I'm a big fan of black wheels. Which BMW springs did you use?

Not wishing to dampen your enthusiasm but:

1) The new spring rate is about DOUBLE what it should be! I expect that you will be bouncing about all over the place on the road with that front end.

2) Those adjustable struts are IMO the worst bit of engineering to come out of China. I know because I bought some and sent them back.

Those wheels look super sweet(get it?), she gunna be very purdy.

I have to agree with EvilC on this one, you'll find that all the flaws that are created when you chop the top off of a car to make it a convertible are going to be magnified(doors moving, cowl shake, etc) on top of creating a much less comfortable and confidence inspiring ride. No worries though, it's an easy enough swap to a softer small diameter spring, I think people were using CRX springs as I recall, you may want to enquire with Superman from this site, he knows EVERYTHING super.
