Some pictures of my S12

[NoHachi]

The front struts are compatible with almost everything on the market. Toyota, Nissan, BMW, Ford, Volvo...if its a McPherson strut and has about the correct length (which they almost all do) it can be made to fit.
The rear should not be that difficult..just shocks and springs. Springs can be custom wound for not too much, and sometimes the strangest shocks will fit..I'm sure there must be sets here in Japan..too bad that I don't read Kanji or kana (yet).

Regarding the looks..It looks really Japanese now with those wheels and that colour scheme. The European look is hot here, and white is the default colour.

Painting it panda would imho just be sad and a lot worse looking.
