Looks pretty good. Just a lil lower in back.

lepichichi 02-10-2012 11:04 AM

did you preload the springs??? It doesn't seem right, and where is your exhaust???

gmoney 02-10-2012 01:35 PM

I took these pics 3days ago after installing the springs, the car got a little lower since then with speed bumps. I took the exhaust off since the car will be getting painted.......

It still looks stock height to me. Anyway, a little more lower would make it look lowered, and what color are you about to change it to?

lepichichi 02-11-2012 12:31 PM

pre load the springs and you'll see the diference.

Should the front be lowered a little bit more?

gmoney 02-14-2012 11:06 PM

Does the bump rubber that I'm supposed to cut have anything to do with the lowering?

Roidz 02-15-2012 09:58 AM

It's definitely lower than before, but yes, the front should be lower cause it looks like it's raised in the front compared the the back.

Car looks good.

I gave up trying to do spring work myself a number of years ago. Did it on some of my cars and trucks, also helped friends and eventually realized that dealing with springs can be quite annoying - and dangerous.

Now I just rather pay somebody to do swap springs for me. Will probably do that when I decide to lower my 8 - unless if decide to go with coilovers. Swaping those is always easier.

gmoney 02-15-2012 03:03 PM

Well i loosend up the control arms in the front while the 8 is getting its paint work done so lets see if that helps a little.......

gmoney 02-21-2012 09:27 PM

Is there any way I can get someone to do a photoshop of my 8 with a black with a gold pearl top with LY on the bottom if possible.......

lepichichi 02-22-2012 11:33 AM
