lol that front swaybar isnt going to stay blue for very long

 

lowerrr!!!! like the staggered look though. and CL Platano is truly a picture whore. how much did the front and rear sways cost you?

 

still needs to be dropped...

 

The sways are bright green, theh blue bar is a lower front strut brace, and no, there's already scrapes in it. starboy2nv told me all about that happening though so I expected it. First test drive the guy took it on, I saw sparks fly, that front end couldn't have been more than like a few inches off the ground.

 

F&R sways were $300 plus shipping, bought the set and paid $340 for them. Got them from this place.

Wasn't trying to do the staggered, but i kinda like it. It'll be evened out this week or next, needs an alignment BAD too.

 

LOL me too... and i still havent gotten one... oh btw time for new tires lol... neg camb pwns...


eric: i found the prob... the car is dropped way to low, so only the very inner corner of the wheel is doing all the work, THUS (geek word) lol ...causing the tire noise...

 

dont even it out...keep the front a tad bit lower than the back! the lower front strut brace isnt from the set too?

 

Nope, the sways come as a pair, the cusco brace was seperate, and are very hard to find too. The only english on the instructions says to be installed on vehicles in japan only, the rest of the installation instructions are all completely in japanese, I will post a pic of them it's pretty funny. But the strut brace ties the two front lower arms together, adds a lot of tightness to the turning, cuz the arms move more stiffly together.

 

so you'd recommend getting the cusco brace too huh

 

It def helps with handling, I'd recommend it if you like scraping $100 pieces of metal everywhere you go, it hangs about 2-3" lower than anything else on the car, so it takes all the abuse.

 

lol i guess ill go with the sways n not try the cusco scrape bar.

 

Right on, I'll slide my stock sways under and take a pic so you can do a size comparison, you have no idea how much size difference there is it's ridiculous.

 

The funny thing is, that pic isn't photoshopped, the glare from the flash made his eyes light up like that. Really freaky, reminds me of the dogs from ghostbusters

 

My installation was $609 total, was quoted at $502, but he found the front lower bushings in the kit and had to press those in, so it ended up being more labor than he thought. But $609 out the door wasn't bad, he did like 10-11 hours of labor on it. Every customer that came into his shop, like 4 or 5 people all looked at everything I was installing and were like damn this guy's not f'ing around is he? For the coils by themselves, you're lookin about $150-200 probably, depending on the shop and their labor rate.

 

chris what shop was that...i can do it but dont have the time. let me know

 

Do you still have the PN handy for that Energy Susp. kit for the 3.0?

 

I'll do you one better

I got all those installed except for the spring bushings, cuz my omni's had pillow mounts

 

Thanks Bro, This is next on my list along with those sway's front n rear..

 

Makes a HUGE difference, what sways are you lookin at?

 

how do those pillowmounts feel?

is there a difference from the stock ones?...damn i can't wait for my damn D2's

 

Like buttah

 

mmm...

 

Alright, so my front is officially too low for the roads in pittsburgh, lol. My front tires are rubbing, and the control arms are hitting the fender on bumps. Last night, took the black bandit out for a ride, first ride since I got the drop put on and brought her home. Wasn't too bad, though my girl didn't like how bouncy it was cuz the rear is higher than the front and not balanced. But, took the ack to pick her up at work, and had the dog in the back. With the dog and her in the car, I pulled into my driveway which is a big STEEP hill, and scraped the cusco brace ALL the way down the driveway, made my girl hop out half way down the driveway cuz the car was scrapin so bad Damn it's low though

 

kick the girl out but not the dog

 

Damn right, and the damn cusco brace is STILL scrapin with just me in the car, that thing is not long for the road. :shakehead

 

Well it aint like you are 150lbs you are a big dude..raise it before you lose it. I thought I lost my lip yesterday after I hit a huge dip.

 

I'm 6'5" 285 lbs, and the bumper is kissing the ground, definately needs raised, I coulnd't even imagine putting my ww lip on this low, it'd be gone b4 i got out of my driveway

That's not that big, I could kick yo ass

 

IT SURE IS!

Just had to revisit this thread. Haven't taken any better pics, cuz I can't get my car out of the driveway anymore, have to raise it some more, plus been doin lots of work to her lately, just too lazy to jack her up, plus I need a new front bumper, but just got a quote on my paint job, exhaust job, and talked to my guy about swapping out my coils, plus the other shit on it's way in the mail, it'll be a good xmas and winter if i can get all these projects done
