Nothing has been installed because front springs are wrong. I compared them to mine and they are not only much narrower, but much shorter and much softer as well. There's no way the springs he got for the fronts would support the car's weight.

~Cheers~

 

pwned

i didn't know b+g made springs for our cars. I just know they made coilovers for our cars, not springs. cool nonetheless

 

 

$$$ or headache....






you can only save one

 

How about this.. Cheapest GC kit I found so far..

http://www.eurobahnmotorsport.com/gr.../i-150560.aspx

 

So....
I ordered Ground Control Kit today. It should be here by friday... Who wants to help me out with installation??....Art?..Ken?...Andrew?....

 

You are going to have a really nice setup now.

 

These are for 2.5TL too.

 

um............... since im on break starting thursday......... yea, call me up, suspension is my specialty. Ironic since I'm sitting stock.

 

Should I also buy new upper spring mounts??
We need to drill the holes bigger to fit konis.

 

GC kit is here. A whole day earlier then expected.. I can't wait..

 

It is going to look so official.

 

no.

 

i'll be in the city tomorrow, if you guys are at ken's house, i can swing by and lend a hand.

 

So while chilling in the car waiting for everyone and jamming to some great psybient and psytrance, I decided to shoot a couple pics. They just got back, but here are the shots!

Remember this:







~Cheers~

 

Nice pics.

Looks like someone is finally getting their suspension installed.

I'm jealous of the 1G love on the West Coast.

 

The car looks sick!! I forgot to take pics of it finished, but I'm sure Undyroos will up his shot.

~Cheers~

P.S. Road trip to SF?

 

So, I just got home. What a freakin bumpy ride. My back hurts now... Anyways here are some pics I took..





Here's one for comparison...

Before.


After...this is before final adjustments..



Will take some more tomorrow.

 

^ Told you to set the rears softer. Full stiffness does NOT equal good handling.

~Cheers~

 

I know but ken adjusted them on the stiff. I am adjusting them to soft tomorrow..

Oh and for some strange reason car felt quicker after lowering and was fun driving back home. traffic killed it though..

 

Damn that sit is dumped.

 

Lower car = quicker.

Aerodynamics

 

I think I need to raise the front a little bit, bottoms out easily..

 

If you aren't scraping, you aren't low enough.

 

Yes it was dumped. Took us two days to finish it because be messed up front strut mount while drilling but luckily Chris had extra from his Legend that worked. But kudos to Ken (desired_speeds) who did all the work, I just helped a little to drill holes and thats about it. It was freaking pain and to top it off it started to rain half way through.

 

I think that is for the "vip" style people....

 

Next mod...

Lightly tint the turn signals?

You should just take all of the mod ideas that Ken has done.

Those mods on your car would be really nice.

 

Tighter suspension, then car responds quicker, you perceive it as being faster overall. Set the rears at about a quarter past the softest setting, and the fronts maybe 3/4 from softest. It'll help.

~Cheers~

 

saw it in person, looks really nice

 

First thing I am doing tomorrow morning is wash it and then take it for alignment and then few pics for eye candy....

Still waiting for Andrew to upload his..

 

Nice, I would always leave it full stiff, less chance of bottoming out = longer life for shocks and you should get used to the ride feel, I know I have.

 

I can live with it but my sister will be driving this car for a month or so, so I have to soften it up a little so that she won't complain and I still have to teach her how to go sideways over bumps...

 

Nice improvement!

Thanks. if you didn't have the upper mount I dunno what I had to do to get my car running again. Thanks for the mount..

Thanks. I actually deleted my first post..

tony took a dump


props to ken

^stock jack didn't fit under the jacking point, it was that low...

it was really dark when tony took off but it looked REALLY good. IIRC, it's a bit higher all around right now for driveability but still very low.

tony, ditch the front mud flaps or the speedbumps will do it for you...

 

I just got back home after alignment. Numbers are pretty bad. I need camber kit. Looking for some answers, Andrew...

 

Few more shots....
















All iPhone pics...

 

what are the specs...

i went with SPC front and rear...
