hey guys
im trying to decide on suspension
but i cant find one pix of a 8 dropped
i guess with stock wheels or any for this matter.
pls post them
thankyou for looking.

 

this is my 8 with eibach springs

 

give me a week and I'll have pics of my black RX on Espelir springs (thanx Vivid!!!)

 

Hmmm i'd love to hear your feedback on these springs because they are the ones that im considering getting when i get my 8 next month....

 

Mike...have you been to the track yet? I wanna find out how the Eibachs fair on the track...although I think i will still go with Tein or HKS coilovers...but still would like to know..

 

BIU,

I'll be posting before and after pics plus some install thoughts probably next week some time. I think VividRacing is going to have them on their website as well. I'll definately let everyone know how they work out.

 

thankyou guys
when you guys have a chance show us some pixs
and what you think of it vs stock
mikeb you car looks awesome
rims make the car look clean and simple.
only thing i kind of notice is the front i think could be .5-inch more lower but car looks great.
anymore pixs guys ?

Heh, your car looks pretty much like how mine would look if only I were a little less stingy with my $$$ at the moment. Except I would go with the MS side skirts and mirrors (has anyone installed the MS mirrors yet, or are they not out?).

Psst, Mike--time for a change:





:D


EDIT: I had to compress the file big time to fit within avatar guidelines. There's always a plain non-animated pic I guess:

 

Nice touch Baron...yeah mike update!

 

I will take pics of mine. I got the Tein S-tech springs and love them they lower the front more than the rear and it looks awesome. I also got Volks in 19's with the Greddy exhaust. It is raining here and I work until Tuesday night so on Wednesday I will take some pics. The ride to me is the same with the teins and not harsh at all. I would compare them real close to stock. Thanks

 

excellent thats the springs i kind of want
i want the front to be a bit lower.
i measured my stock ride today and front was about .25-.50 higher.cant wait till wed pix
thankyou

 

thanks for the avatar pic

 

Here's the after pics of my 8 lowered with Espelir springs.

here are some pics of my 8 after the Tanabe GF210 spring install

 

thats some nice shots i especially like the last one
hows the ride ?
what differences do you notice ?
and is the back a bit lower ?
thankyou.

 

These pix turned out better than mine would on a black car. My GF210 drop looks identical. The rear is perfect but the front could use another .5-.75 inch drop. From what i've seen so far the only way to do this would be by using Coilovers.

 

Ive noticed this too and ive considered losening the control arm bolts again and having someone put some weight on the front of the car to preload the suspension a bit more....

The ride is a bit stiffer, supposedly the NF210 springs are pretty close to stock feeling where the GF210 is a bit more agressive and stiff, but I like it a lot

Thanks for the comments on the pics

The rear is about .5" lower than the front, I probably could fix this by putting a bit more preload on the front suspension before tightening the upper control arm bolts

mike's eibach looks alot more effective and more aggressive than syn's tanabe.

 

About 1" drop front and rear...

 

Hey Mikeb,

What wheels are those. I love the deep dish. Also, what size are they. You have the Eibach springs right?

 

yes, I have eibach springs
the rims are motegi DPK 19 inch

thanks

 

Mine on Tein H spec.

 

AutoEXE springs:

 

DAMN! is that yours maniac?!

 

Yes, that would be mine.

"Show" & "Go"! :D

Here is another that shows the drop better:
