Hmmm... not sure, but one wheel/tire may out of balance.

 

Some have said that their 8 pulled to the right when they got it. They've wondered if their alignment was off whe they got the car (which is possible). I wonder if something else could be causing this mysterious "pull?"

 

the thing is, before my new wheel/tires/springs, the car was straight, didnt pull to the right at all. My friend said it could be the springs? just let them settle a bit? anyways, I will drive another 500 miles or so, so all my new stuff could break in a bit and will check again.

 

hey guys, can someone post pictures of their TEIN dropped...

we have eibach and now espelir...which helps a lot, but thinking of TEIN and doesn't know what it looks like

thanks

 

I will try and post pics this weekend. Nite shots arent that good. And give me time to zaino my car..

 

I'll post mine as soon as I get them installed.

 

Well, SDFLY is right, the Tein springs are on back order for two weeks. Intense Motorsports gave me the option of using other springs, but I'm not sure what I'm going to do. I'll probably just be patient and wait it out for the Teins.

 

Here it is!, my pics of the teins drop and my new TE37 bronze

enjoy

Awesome. Very nice wheels.
What size/offset are they?

 

Sweet. Bong, it seems to be sitting perfect. Front and rear wheel gap is close to the same. That's cosmetically the best non-coilover lowering job I've seen yet. I will definitely be waiting for the Teins to come oof back order.

BTW, where are your center caps?

 

19" 8.5 245/35 tires

I didnt get the wheel caps with it. well, I didnt like the volks center cap, so Im working with rosenthal and see if the mazdaspeed ones fit.

The drop is almost perfect I would say. If the front would drop a bit more it will be perfect.

 

nice ride bong...you have one of the more cleaner looking 8's on this forum... where and how much did you pay for your teins?

 

nice rims and all but putting Mazdaspeed centre caps on Volks rims will ruin them imo

 

How would that ruin them?

 

For those who haven't seen it, here's the thread with the final pics of Espelir springs...

SDLY - I like those rims a lot!! not too bright, not too dark. Gives it a really unique look.

S_D

 

I paid $140 for my teins.
At a local shop called impex. I think they have a website www.impexusa.com
They are located in san gabriel, ca.

how would the center caps ruin the rims? I personally dont like the VR center caps, but I really like the mazdaspeed ones.
I have seens some bimmers that put their BMW center cap on aftermarket rims, and it still looks good. Well, I guess this is a personal preference thingy.

 

Yes people with porsches or BMWs put porsche or BMW badges on their aftermarket rims.......... those look hot........

Its just like if you put a Mazda centre cap on the volks it would be nice......... but dont put Mazdaspeed.... thats kinda ricy.....

you dont see porsches and BMWs putting TechArt or M badges on their rims if theyre not techart or M rims...

Basically its like putting a nike badge on a reebok shoe...:o

 

Bong, I was asking BIU how using Mazdaspeed caps would ruin Volk rims. Sorry, I wasn't questioning you. I'm all for using the MS caps if you want. By the way BIU, he's driving a Mazda, so that alone should justify any Mazdaspeed badging he would choose to apply.

 

Well said. I agree with you. But who cares, its his car!

 

Oh dont get me wrong here guys im not trying to be a dick.... :D

Just simply laying down the facts... not trying to argue or anything...

Bottom line is Mazdaspeed makes rims.... so it'll be weird to slap it on another company's rims...

a Mazda centre cap would be nice tho.

PS. Im not trying to offend anyone.. this is just a normal conversation like post. :p
