what could it be?


maybe someone can tell from the top side?


omg if you guessed Tein SS you were correct! (yes, i am aware that that was corny )


these are the two pairs of fronts. looks to be quite different...



i still have some height/dampening adjustment to do (specifically the rear needs to come up a lil and the front needs to be softer) the front is as low as it will go...





heres the front wheel gap


heres the rear wheel gap


heres the universal measurement tool under the front mudguard


heres the universal measurement tool under the front lip at the lowest point

Yay for the SS's

 

you have em kinda low don't you?

 

not low enough

 

front = perfect

back = too low, if i get home early enough tomorrow i may fix that little problem.

 

the thing is, you've already maxed out all the threads on the shock body...how does it ride?

why would it matter if i have it on the lowest part of the shock? they're made to be adjustable like that...

it rides better than my old stuff

 

those ludes, even though they don't LOOK that low from the front bumper, the body rides low. careful

 

so when are you starting the "help, i need new tires" fund?

lol, it is a common misconception. all the hatches at work are "lower" than my car but they're roof's are higher

 

someone once said if you cant drag it youre a ******

 

i'm not trying to start a huge argument...but with you having the perch all the way down like that, you're sacrificing a lot of suspension travel...just a heads up...the car looks good how it sits tho...

explain

 

your coilovers are only single perch height adjustable...meaning....every time you raise/lower the perch you're affecting the stroke of the shock.....

the coilovers that you can adjust the height without affecting suspension stroke feature upper and lower perches for height adjustability..where you bring the bottom perch up to lower the car...

if you need a few more inches lower on the car, i suggest you get a set of pillowball mounts from tein....that will give you about an 1"-1.5" lower than the stock pillowball mounts...

so you're saying i should raise it?

 

looks good

 

yeah...

that right there is ideal, but may be kinda high....but maybe about half way down from what it is right there would be ok still

More expensive suspension components on a car that will never use it. We salute you, Mister Overpriced Suspension Components Installer .

as long as im driving it, ill be using it.

edit: btw, $400 for a slightly used suspension is hardly overpriced.

 

fawk man! looking good.
400 bux is a steal.

 

nice

 

i'm liking the polished/painted SE's

*wishes his SE's were polished*
