[EVA Unit-01]

^^^noice!


idle, glad to hear of such a great improvement! it's what i'm looking for, but my concern is regarding:
1. functionality - any issues yet with going over bumps or ledges, etc? i've got into the habit of parking over those little concrete stoppers; i'd hate to crack my flare on one if i lower
2. suspension - does the lower ride cause any of the suspension parts to touch the tyre/rim during driving?

[idlemind]

EVA,

1. Amazingly...NO! Im running over speed bumps as normal, the concrete ledges are okay once you dont cross the little mudflap at the front of the front tyres.

2. Nothing touches..I was planning to get the fenders rolled but it wasnt necessary. Even in full lock I used to get a rub on the front insides before but now nothing.

not just the fenders, i'm talking about the stuff inside the wheel well. nothing there, i assume?

[ZeroOne]

EVA remember idle running coilovers and not just some "drop low spring setup".

I'm not surprised that his ride does not touch/rub, thats how the coilovers are supposed to work.

[CS3A_GLX]

my front wheel does only graze d plastic in the wheel well and there is almost no clearance n my rear fits up in the fender. hatta heat d plastic n push it in a lil. wud like a coilover setup 1 day after i ride in a car with 1!!!

[EVA Unit-01]

good point, Zero... i guess the thought of drop springs being a magic fix was too good to be true... doh forget mih bulbs when you ordering, plz!

in the process of claying my car... OMG! it's a lotta fcuking werk!

[turbo_beast369]

a coilover ride isnt bad....unless u drive in alot of bumpy roads u go start talkin like jack warner...but it depends on the brand of coilovers tho...some may ride stiffer than others

btw how d GSR project coming along

[CS3A_GLX]

[idlemind]

[thatguy3832]

[ZeroOne]

bleh....come scrap meh center console nah...anymore car time and wifey go cuss and put meh out.

I tort AWOL and Turbo do all the work?

Ordering tomorrow brain cant focus on LED now

[idlemind]

Wait for meh tuh scrap it tomorrow, Il leave the IP alone since that looking like a electrically charged board instead of a bulb, coz I dont understand how one bulb could push all that with 3 dimmer settings.

Il scrap the center console 2moro...anyone have instructions??? I too old tuh go dig up and break sheit.

EVA...lowering springs will work you have on 15s, you wont rub...my setup is saved by how stiff the coilovers are. Im running 45 series 17s eh, NOT 40. And the rim offset is 46 so its about right under the fender not inside, not outside. If the shocks wernt stiff, il be rubbing all over.

Here hold that, tried to line it up in the same spot...dont think I quite got it right.

[EVA Unit-01]

^^^almost right, but the 2nd pic taken from a little lower and shows better just how much the drop is... & i'm running 205-55, which are a little higher than the OEM 195-60 with the same 46 offset as OEM, so i'm afraid of rubbing the fender if there's too much drop...

my concern is using the stock shocks with the lowering springs and having the ride fcuked up... bouncing, touching scraping, etc... if anyone here's running the Tein S-Tech lowering springs on stock shocks, please give me a review...

[turbo_beast369]

^^^boi you running 15's on more or less stock offset and you studying about rubbing the fender???
First to begin with Tein S-techs if bought from Tuner Imports won't give you much a major drop to say that tyre all up in d fender an ting...with 15's you safe....

[idlemind]

das what I trying to tell him lol...but fras has on s-techs so you can ask him about his ride.
I fine his car rides normal and its lowered a good height.

6A13TT V6TT 2WD 280HP in a CS cant be much harder to make the 4G63T from EVO work

[idlemind]

[turbo_beast369]

you know something, if stock CK springs give approx a 1" drop in a CS then CK lowering springs should give something like a 2" drop....fras says his Tein S-Techs are not all that stiff so it should work out nicely in a CS

[ZeroOne]

We finally figured out what bulbs Idle using.

Ordering in the morning
