damn it seems to me i miss all of the hard core action up in here!

 

 

Nice pics Brad. Always nice to see Hank in his ideal environment. HITTIN' BANGERZZZ!!! Lol

 

some dope *** **** brap.

 

 

Got some meats mounted for the front wheels! Yes, they are pretty shot but I got these for free. I needed them so I could mount them on the car and check for fitment. Beats spending bookoo bank on a set of tires to find out they wont fit the rig.

 

these look crazy silly in person.

 

Lol ya. You got to see these before I even did.

 

et's? thinking about a simple 1.8 build since i have rods. and yes for boost in the sedan with a/c.

 

Bruins!

 

Those tires look like the biz. Maybe if I made a **** ton of power.

Egezzy- I can't help but wonder how you got that dent on your car?

 

Good weekend Is there a minimum weight requirement or were you just happy that its light?

Yeah I think they ride stiff. The springs themselves I think are not too stiff, but the damping is stiff. For sure they are pretty stiff compared to your normal passenger car. I can push down on my tailgate when its closed and the car barely moves down, its def stiff.

I like a firm ride but not harsh. My bushings are in poor condition so they ride harsh. It sucks because people that ride my car think that my car is a pos and think I have garbage suspension.

Its hard to say with crappy bushings but being in Jesse's car I have to say that they are not stifffffff like that but they are "just right". About as stiff as I'd go in the street for sure. His car complies with the bumps and absorbs them, mine feels like it hits them/skips/vibrates on them.

Dont get me wrong, I really like them, just a shame that the bushings make it feel like garbage. Thats why I love driving my car after a period of not driving or driving in the wet, I think the water does something to do bushings.

So in short, yes I think they're stiff but not really stiff. Just right for a track/street car. Any stiffer would be too harsh, any softer wouldn't feel as agile on the track.

 

its not stiff it ruff cause all the bushing are worn. that effect the way the car handles. my sedan i can tell the difference and all my friends think they ride better then my og forms. i need to replace my bushings as well. its a pain in the *** but will be worth it in the end. idk what to tell you on that. i dont think i'll use the forms on the track very mush. i'll say its a good start for having fun in the hills around me and auto x. i personally love the way they ride compared to my old ones.

 

Yeah exactly, if I had fresh bushings it would be a diff story. You have a sedan though, thats gotta weight a good bit more than my Si. Granted my car weighs like 2170 without a driver right now lol.

 

One and a half hours of work left. Then sleep.

My parts should be in today. Thought yesterday, but I guessed wrong. Oem mats and oem keys.

I did find out that my motor will not be done by IA, but Im still coming. Ill just be hard parking as much as I can. Lol.

 

Ya Et streets.

I fitted them up last night. They didnt really have an issue with clearance. I am about a 1/4" from touching the arm of the spindle and i took a BFH to the pinch welds inside the fender to flatten them out a little. It wouldnt have been neccessary if my front suspension was a little stiffer. Also in the pic you can see some black electric tape, thats where I am going to trim the bumper so it doesnt dig into the tires when turning. I dont really HAVE to trim it but I figured I may as well get some more room incase I decide to run a different wheel with a lower offest. The pic kinda sucks. I should have rolled the sumbitch outside into the light.

 

theres not really the big of a diffence in weight between the cars. also my sedan has over 300,xxx on the chasie. i need alot of everything to be replace that i doubt ever was. you really should change the bushing some time soon. i'll show you how messed up mine are when i go to replace them in the up coming month or so. its bad.

 

Mine has almost 250 lol. These things run like champs. Going with OEM bushings? I don't even want to look at my bushings, prob really messed up.

 

nope dont feel like changing them for a long while. i'm going to get the es poly bushing.

 

Have you ever been on a car with ES?

 

I have Energy suspension bushings in my front and rear lcas. They feel fine.

 

Good to know, so the hard rubber ones won't be as stiff

 

im guessing you are talking about the car. it didnt matter either way i was just trying to see where my crossweight was at.

and yes most of the "feel" you get is from the dampers not the springs. my teins are "good" on the track but are terrible on some roads driving it daily. especially on roads that are uneven so the slow speed damping cant "keep up with itself".

the konis are just the tip of the iceberg as far as good dampers go. but i can say they have better driveability than the teins for sure.

 

i will keep comments to myself..i will let you guys judge.

 

What was drake doing out there?
