I need to meet you eventually.

Go to lowes motor speedway often?

I'm surprised you're that low. The roads in NC are terrible. Hope that kit is made of that "unbreakable" fiber vis uses.



Dude, i can't believe you're moving to michigan.

I thought that was you when you dropped me a pm. Bring your seven!!!! I want to see! That way, you can park it next to mine and we can discuss how much mine sucks at the moment.....

Ryan_13b 01-26-09 12:01 PM

I see what you mean. im still trying to get the stance right so im going to play around with the height and an put the rear bumper. will post pics up after.

lose the sleepy eyes.

looks bad.

Risky Devil 01-26-09 01:21 PM

Yes.

No rake!

Are you running helper springs?

You can also remove collars ... But with the helpers, you can sag 1'' inch of spring safe.

lower the rear to match the front dont raise the front lol

ilia 01-26-09 08:36 PM

GODDAMNIT LOWER THE REAR!


Haha really though. Don't raise the front, the front is fine. Lower the rear. Droop the spring, I did it for forever, it'll be fine.

The spring rates, or pre-load, sag, etc..., are adjustable via the the adjustable perch. If it was not meant to be adjusted I would have to ask why give an adjustable perch.

It's fine to adjust these some, without going too extremes one way or the other, or the pre-load can become so harsh that the spring runs in to coil bind, or too soft and the damper is too greatly affected and can blow. You'll just want to keep in mind what changes you've made where, and try to keep it uniform. You'll definately notice the changes you've made after driving.

Ryan_13b 01-27-09 10:33 PM

There is no helper spring on the stance coilovers. as far as drooping the spring i might go a tad but nothing major. it look like its rake lifted in the pics but believe me its not. trust me guy after i send it to paint it will look proper.

Want to go lower but my BC's are maxed out in the back. Kicking myself for not getting shortened shock bodies.

Megan Racing Track coilovers. Got lots of lower left to go, but it's not practical with the way most of the roads are around here.

Right on. looks good. i like the wheels. what are they? also, go get 94-95 honda accord front lip. got one for my s5 bumper a week ago. its 6.5" too wide. cut in half and trim. fits great but is about an 1.5" short from matching the wheel arches. still looks pretty bad ass tho.

simonFC 01-25-13 10:08 PM

Looking good mane, What size tires you got on those starion wheels?

Saavedro88 01-25-13 11:47 PM
