XDEEDUBBX 01-27-2008, 04:50 PM what kind of coilovers did u go with? The rear is a lot higher than the front. Even if it settled a little more it would still be uneven, unless the pix are deceiving.

I went with BC Racing coilovers. No the backs are as low as they can go =( could it be because of the alignment bolt? its totally off from before. Thats the only think i thought of. The fronts could go about 4 inches lower too. Im going to get an alignment tomorrow.
XDEEDUBBX 01-27-2008, 04:56 PM have your alignment guy take a look at it. See if he can see anything funky..
TopGear8 01-27-2008, 04:57 PM dang that is really low, looks very nice tho.
My8DriftsMe 01-27-2008, 04:59 PM dang that is really low, looks very nice tho.
Haha its not that low any more. I was scraping everywhere lol.
NgoRX8 01-27-2008, 05:02 PM i woulda kept it super low. lol.
yea seriously, if that's the lowest it can go on the back, that sucks.
i heard the tein flex lowest at bak is 0.7 unless u remove a collar or something.
Unknown_Driver 01-27-2008, 05:02 PM did you get them corner balanced?
My8DriftsMe 01-27-2008, 05:04 PM did you get them corner balanced?
no i just installed them about 20 min ago.
Razz1 01-27-2008, 05:04 PM When they put it up in the air, measure the frame height to the lift.
That must be the same on all four locations.
tiltmode43 01-27-2008, 05:09 PM Loving the rims, especially on blue and white 8s...
Cromax 01-27-2008, 06:36 PM Yeah, I like those rims too.
Did you end up working out why the rear doesn't drop any lower?
My8DriftsMe 01-27-2008, 06:39 PM Yeah, I like those rims too.

no im going to take it in tomorrow for the alignment and see whats going on. It feels like it has understeer also =/

TurboEight 01-28-2008, 02:02 AM How are the tires holding up?
Jedi54 01-28-2008, 02:17 AM front looks good! Weird...something must be weird with the rear, they should drop lower then that
My8DriftsMe 01-28-2008, 02:20 AM front looks good! Weird...something must be weird with the rear, they should drop lower then that
Thats what i was saying. could it be something with the rear sway?
Cody Red 01-28-2008, 02:23 AM damn, looks pretty good.
kinda iffy on type flex, as before stated it doesn't go low much either. oh well, functionality over looks!
nice wheels, too!
My8DriftsMe 01-28-2008, 02:24 AM How are the tires holding up?

Jedi54 01-28-2008, 01:32 PM when you get it aligned, have the guy take a quick peak at it just to be safe.
