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 03:56 PM

have your alignment guy take a look at it. See if he can see anything funky..

TopGear8 01-27-2008 03:57 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 04:02 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.

no i just installed them about 20 min ago.

When they put it up in the air, measure the frame height to the lift.

That must be the same on all four locations.

Loving the rims, especially on blue and white 8s...

Cromax 01-27-2008 05:36 PM

Yeah, I like those rims too.

Did you end up working out why the rear doesn't drop any lower?

How are the tires holding up?

Jedi54 01-28-2008 01:17 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 01:23 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!

when you get it aligned, have the guy take a quick peak at it just to be safe.
