so this saturday I installed the new TeinSS-Ps. Took me 11 hours to finish everything. The coilovers were very easy to install but the polyethylene bushings were a nightmare. After doing the whole front I moved to the back. As a note, there is one bolt and two nuts holding the rear setup. That one single bolt I couldn't set loose for anything. Used not to pretty methods to loosen them. Anyways. The setup is sick. It turns like I can't explain. One problem. The uppercontrol arm hits the top. Matt(ghost...) had his airhammered for more room. what would happen if I cut out a hole to give the joint more room to more. The rideis pretty low and stiff just the right way. I honestly wouldn't want to adjust anything. any ideas?

 

congrats man.. did u slam the shit outa ur car?

 

its real low. cant fit my finger above the tire.

 

For the rears, next time just use a jack to slightly lift the rotor/hub to the point where the bolt is not having pressure applied by weight. That way, you just simply pull it out or use a screw driver and hammer to tap it out once it's unbolted.

Congrats on the setup!

 

You need to post pics, ASAP.

 

I'm so jealous you got yours before me, pics are a must, you could cut a hole, I'd roll the fender if you can. Congrats on your install and bushings though

 

yea post pix i wanna see how low I can go.

I adjusted my rears yesterday and I couldn't notice a difference in height.

I have about 1 1/2 inches of space between the spring's seat and the top of the thread.

 

bout time... u need to drop that shit like me

 

Pix are always a plus!!!

 

ok arber here is the deal with cutting a hole to making room.

yes you can do it, and ive seen it before on other forums, when i had this problem

BUT when you cut a hole in your shock tower your compromising its strength and durability.

with having the shock tower heated and airhammered your giving it just enough room with out compromising its strength.

my UCA's bang my shock tower every now and then, but just on nasty bumps.

BTW im glad you finally dropped your car, me you, shawn, gotta take some pics one day.

 

Will I really conpromise the strength?
If i do what will come of it. Won't sways take care of the problem?
Anyways. Im real happy with the drop n the feel. It much better than riding stock. Well thats driving with a bent shock. Yes my shock had a 16degree bend. Just another reason why I love NYC.

 

 

people give me the damn advice. your pics will come
can i cut the damn hole or no?
come on Chris. You should know all this technical

 

if you want to cut the hole then do it, but make sure your precise and dont cut it to big.

i vote for an airhammer job, but its your car.

 

Dont Cut A Hole.....

 

I'd roll the fenders personally, but the air hammering sounds like the other good option, i would NOT cut a hole

 

 

Don't cut the hole....

 

i dont see how rolling the fenders would give the upper control arm more clearance. i thought rolling fenders was only necessary when adding super wide wheels.

 

ok well air hammer it is
pics in the next few days
most likely saturday
schedule is oil change, sea foam a def wash and hope brokedick Percy can get me the other 2 stockies so i can look ok

 

yea so i got to see you car at belmar today, you lucky bastard i have no idea how you got that good of a spot.

car looks good though.

the beach was pretty beat today, and after we talked to first time, my phone died, so if you called me and it went to my voice mail, sorry.

 

luck i guess. i even had the camera with me. both u n your phone suck.
sean still alive? havent heard from him.

 

wheres the pics arber? i wanna see! im contemplating puttin on my GC's to drop my car some more since my car is in pieces right now, i wanna see how yours came out. and anyone know where sean is? i wanted to buy is bronze stocks.

 

Damn, I gotta see this thing in person now.

How ya been Arber?

 

Need to see pics of my soon to be third suspension setup

people dont scare me.
all the money and time i put into this
dont tell me its not over

Kevin i've been ok. Same tiring shit every since day. Work home work home work home. Whats new to life.

 

i saw sean the other day. we met up so his boy could sell his tein springs to my friend.

well all us NY/NJ guys gotta meet up one day

 

see were on the 2nd, 3rd,4th, 5th setup because we didnt just buy the Tein's in the 1st place.. were dumb/poor..

 

Yeah, mine

 

you got your stockies,your slammed, now where's the pics fuckstick!!!!!!!

i saw it, it LOOKS mean




tein's aren't gonna help you when i'm eating the h22 up,but it'll look nice in my rearview

 

White font ftw, percy's still God bless him

 

Here you go. Minor adjustments still needed like bringing the back down a bit. They aren't as stiff as i though but the car handles like never seen before.








and my shock towers are already seeing the meaning on NYC streets



Enjoy!!
N Percy. Headers, pulleys and a tune and I will beat you. Just watch. I didnt bullshit the first time and i certainly wont the second. Btw, thanks for the rims.

 

Alright, 1. Clean looking car man! Nice shit.
2. How much did all that run you for everything.
3. Whered you get them at?

Lookin good arber, makin me jealous as hell, especially with those 97 3.0 wheels shit looks hot I'm so jealous

DAMN, that looks good. Nice job Arber. Bring it to the show tomorrow and every wednesday at BCF

 

what show? and where have you been hiding?you always just pop up when least expected

on topic:
are you still gonna raise it arber?(say no cuz it looks hot)






j35>h22

 

Every Wednesday, there's a show at Burlington Coat Factory on SI. It's mostly older guys with older cars but it gets more and more mixed every week. It's fun to go down there and just hang out.

I'm always in stealth mode...I'm a fuckin NINJA! You never know when I'm watching lol

Nah, my car was vandalized and totalled. They broke my window, stole a few CDs, my EZ-Pass, garage door opener but most importantly, my SQUASH AIR SPENCER AIR FRESHNER!!!!!! lol Then they poured used motor oil ALL OVER the interior. That car was fuckin MINT too but the insurance company couldn't find an interior for it, so they totalled it. I was gonna sell it the week afterwards anyway and the insurance company gave me more than I was gonna sell it for...so I'm content. It just sucks since the car was so clean.


Now, back to the topic...idk how you drive that low around here Arber, that takes some serious skill. But it looks
