(Thread Starter) |   Not Ranked : 0 score  Look what I did this afternoon So yesterday (6-12-13) bought a set of eibach coil overs ( pro kit) for 120.00 brand new, never mounted. Then on sunday the 9th I bought brand new Enkei Ammodo 18 x 8.0 +40mm offset for less then half of what you can get them for ( brand new never mounted or had tires ) Then today the 13th I bought 4 used 225 45 r18 hankook optimo tires (6/32) for 120 bucks. But anyway, after getting through my out of order dates of purchasing stuff, this morning I installed the springs, love the stance fronts took me a little over an hour for both then the rears 40 minutes to install both sides. I have some before and after pictures of stock to the coil overs to coil overs with new wheels. Watcha think?! image hosting over 2mb before how to use print screen after how to screenshot on windows 7 after with stock wheels still online photo sharing image hosting sites springs and the new wheels upload a picture picture sharing screenshot software windows print screen take screen shot tool to take screen snapshot The ride quality is wonderful, had it up to 85, no vibrations what so ever. Not bouncy or noisy, very smooth over bumps. Way less body roll, I know our cars don't have much to begin with but obviously there is less. I also noticed a little less understeer running it hard around some hard bends, felt like the rear end was kicking out ever so slightly. I'd say for under 700 bucks, on the springs, extended lug nuts (not shown in pictures, still waiting for them to come in the mail) tires, wheels, and the mounting and balancing was wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy worth it. Hope you guys all like! |

(Thread Starter) | Not Ranked : 0 score Id say atleast 1.1 to 1.3 inch front and 1 inch rear so far. Gotta let them settle. The springs say it drops the front 1.4 and rear 1.2. I have a feelin it may be a little more then that tho. I love the springs so far and couldnt be happier. Last edited by Grocery_Getter; 06-13-2013 at 03:43 AM. |
