ok so here are the pics FINALLY!

so Saturday was install day at my house. Myself, 6spdtl-s (steve). JMillerUA6 (justin), and GoldnKnight22 (kevin) all got together to do new suspensions on my car and Steve's car.
Special thanks to Kevin who came all the way from New Hampshire to help!! HE ROCKS! We love you Kevin!

So here is the story....
a few mths ago Steve bought the eibach pro kit and some tokicos for his car, he installed them but then decided he wanted to go lower so he bought the neuspeed super cup kit and some koni's and was nice enough to give me the tokicos and eibachs YAY! Thanks again for that btw!!
So I will admit I did not help much if at all, but basically everything came off of Steves car and went onto mine and his new set up was installed on his car.
I took some pics and we had a quick photoshoot after. Please no comments on the pic quality, it was raining, getting dark, and we had no tripod, like I said it was a quick photoshoot.

Enjoy!

lookin good! cars are lokin good! what perch did steve end up install the springs on? stance looks MEAN!

6spdtl-s

iTrader: (1)

lowest perch all around.

15mm spacer on the rear, I have a 10mm for the front but the bolts were a bit siezed up so we didnt mess with it much. I'm going to attempt to put it on this weekend.

djbonsu

iTrader: (3)

^DOPE!...lookin good all around! make sure u break em in on FULL SOFT b4 u adjust them to ur liking

6spdtl-s

iTrader: (1)

yep, theyre on full soft right now. Although bumps are pretty harsh already, so I can imagine I will put them too much firmer.

what are your damping settings?

djbonsu

iTrader: (3)

^...ha, i think the lower the perch the stiffer because of the short spring travel. rt now im on 1.25 up front (2nd perch) and .75 turns in the rear (3rd perch) from FULL SOFT. plus i have 19s so the ride is a bit jarring on some of these chicago streets. on the smooth roads tho it rides NICE! i have been wanting to soften it up a bit but just been to lazy to remove the seats and strut bar for adjustment...lol

when i initially did the install, i remember FULL SOFT being very A-spec suspension like over bumps but like i said m,aybe it is because you are lower

6spdtl-s

iTrader: (1)

does setting the front stiffer than the rear create more neutral handling?

djbonsu

iTrader: (3)

i believe so....depending on how stiff or soft your set the front/rear you can make the car understeer/oversteer more. id rather oversteer than understeer. there was a thread about this somewhere..
