A) This needs to be a sticky

B) Picked up a set of coilovers last night and started installing them... at 9pm... in darkness... with my motorcycle acting as a shop light haha. I got the rear set in, but the front gave me hell because I was following some online instructions instead of my own logic so now that I'm at work and I figured out what I was doing wrong it's killing me that I have to wait 8 hours to get back home and finish!

Dropped the car
The front is almost as low as it can go, possibly another .25"
The rear is sitting a bit too high, but it's just high enough not to rub on anything but a high speed turn (ie 70 on a tight-radius on ramp) so I'm not sure if I'll lower it more... I'm gonna play with it tomorrow though, just to make sure

Will take pics in the AM...

I can't host pics while at work so I've attached them... It needs to go lower in the back, and I'll probably drop it even more in the front when I get home...

EDIT ~ Excuse the quality of iPhone pics

looks good man. Just lower it like another 2" and you'll be set. Also looks like your on positive camber. Whats up with that?

Thanks

It'll go another .25" to .5" the way it is now, and it'll go another 1" to 1.5" if I remove the helper spring in the front, but I'm not sure if 2" is possible with the coilovers I have.

As for the positive camber. I didn't mess with it last night so I'm not sure why it looks positive... it might be the picture because it is negative, probably -1 to -1.5 degrees.

nice pick, it would be a easy fit especially when they are only 18"!
but why not run stagger when your wheels are stagger?
post some pic when its done!

DAYUM C41250 I am IN LOVE with that white. That is beautiful- very close to a satin white.

Are you looking at selling your rims? Haha. And +1 on where you got the rain deflectors on the front windows.

Now you just need to dump that GReddy intake
