Thanks to redryder83 for installing these spotlines and ingalls camber kit for me, I swapped them with my H&R's for those of you curious. His TL is sick anyways, I havent been able to take good pics of my car yet because its been raining like hell here. I finally got a chance to wash my car and take a few quick pics. Sorry for the crappy pics, there arent many on this computer to work with and photohost reduced their filesize limit

here are some pics for reference...

my car stock height


my car lowered with H&R sports/KYB AGX w/ stocks (the shadows make it seem lower than it actually was)


same thing as above but with my 18's (sorry i dont have any good side pics of it on this comp)





and now my car with Sportlines/KYB AGX/Ingalls camber kit





it sits a little lower, in the back im just tucking and the front is only a bit lower than before. I really need an alignment and the passenger side control arm is rubbing against the fender so (i hope) that after i get it aligned and get some fender trimmed out, maybe it'll drop a bit more.

much better.

niiice...not bad at all.....

cl-baller201

yea i got sportlines on my car.......but i want the sportlines drop too

i got kyb agx too and eibach prokits

so how does it ride in comparison to the H and R springs

klepto

you influenced me baka :P

i dialed down the shocks from 3/6 to 2/4 to compensate for the sportlines being a bit stiffer..theyre pretty much about the same to me

baka_t

Anyone know the spring rates for the sportlines?

r3mix3r

You have sportlines...And you want the sportlines drop too?

Klepto...

With the alignment the control arm issue will only be worse i got sportlines and ingalls also. The best thing to do is trim down the control arm a little.

ib_jimmy

yeah ur cars look nice with those black 18s dawg.

it'll look a little bit lower when the springs stadle in. hows it ride?

nippon_wa

actually.. i don't see any differences maybe the ride changed more..huh?

but still nice ride!

nice work justin how hard was the install?how long did it take?

i like the drop now than b4 but how much of a dif.is it compared from before and after distance wise?

klepto

yea i know, when i take it in for an alignment imma just have the shop either trim the fender line out a bit or bang it back...something so that the control arm wont rub against it anymore

klepto

the install was maybe two, two hours? then another hour or so putting in and messing with teh camber kits. we tried putting on my brembos too at the same time and we couldnt do it without the hub puller, so Im just guessing on that time. Before, i could get maybe two fingers in the rear fender gap...now its just tucked...i think i can fit 1 finger. The front went from about a 3 finger gap to a 2. But like I said before, im hoping the front will drop more after i get the control arm problem fixed. I have some better pics of the fender gap on my computer up at Davis, i'll post em tomorrow when I get back

You should check to see if the control arm is resting on the metal piece under the fender well. The front seems a little high. If anything, you should just set the camber all the way negitive with no correction untill you can get it aligned.

klepto

thats how i have it...all the way neg right now. At first we had it on full positive and when we let the car down, the control arm was resting under the metal piece, we had to put them on full neg to get it to JUST clear the fender :o

baka_t

I see, thats what i meant. I guess they need to settle in a little, is yours the 3.0, or the 2.x?

klepto

2.2, but theyve been in for about 2 weeks now

baka_t

Clpower's sits lower, but his is a 3.0, some weight difference in the front. My car sits lower in the front also being it is a 3.0. All you need now is a front lip.

sumdumguy

nice. good choice of wheels

lomeli3.0CL

shit looks clean.... i reall like the way it sits.... i have to get my agx's and ingalls installed soon.... i hope my shit will look and ride a lil better.... nice job!

Randol

Hey it looks good man. I am still interested in buying those H&R springs if you haven't sold them already. How hard is it to change the rotors yourself or how expensive is it to have done on the 97 2.2 I want to do that also. Just asking since you mentioned them. PM me about he springs if you still have them.

shineynitelite

the beginning of the COW .. nice nice

ding069

gawd the h&r's are the perfect drop for our car! i love them on my 3.0, the front is lowered an additional .5 inch.

KLepTo: thanks for changing ur avatar.

pebe

im gettin ready to throw those stockers back on this weekend. ny winter is-a-comin.....

twOpoint2

funny, i have the sportlines, kybs and it doesnt seem to sit as low as it does on my 18s than it does on kleptos. I have them on 18's but with 225/40/18....your car looks good with those black rims though. Anyone know if it will get lower if i put in an h22? or is it the same spec weight wise?

twOpoint2

damn in states where it snows, how many of you guys actually swap your mods in and out from stock? must be a bitch... good thing cali.

DigiBox

Look good man. Glad Hai was able to take care of the install for you. How did you like his TL? Clean, huh?

klepto

his tl is sick...here are some pics of it :P he has a full 03 conversion on it his roomies cl was pretty damn nice too

pebe

i only change my rims. my car is garaged and i only drive like 3 miles to work, so the CAI should be ok, i hope. this is my first winter with my cai and header, shouldnt be a problem right?

sumdumguy

nope. unless it' emerced in water.[spelling] your fine
