Just installed Tein Coilovers (No 56k)
Thanks to tcTaco for helping with the labor and tools. Initially this thing was slammed down to the ground but had to lift it a bit for practicality purposes and daily driving. The wheels are settling and tucking slightly. Looks really nice and is coming together...
enjoy...
enjoy...
Are they the basic or super street coilovers?

4.2 lol

Actually I love the ride. It's real stiff, we installed the hotchkis sways (front and rear) at the same token so corners at 40 mph are a hell of a lot more fun and there's almost 0 body roll/flex. In fact you slide through corners and hug them like crazy...
I decided to compromise between budget and functionality. I didn't feel the need to have the SS or SS/EFSD setup on my car that I basically drive daily. I just wanted a nice drop/spring rate and a good solid ride which is what I set out for.
The only oddness is some squeek/metal rattling.. but I figured out what that was, I installed an exhaust all in the same sitting (yes we were busy!) and there's some sort of rattle from the midpipe vibrating against something. I need to jack the car up and find out what it is... More annoying than volatile I'm sure.
Thanks for the feedback guys... I think besides some power oriented mods, I'm focusing on a nice set of wheels... 17" silver... (to match the ghost graphics) need to start doing my homework on what's out there.. i'm usually a Motegi/Volk/work type of person but I'm also getting tired of having to wait 3 months for a set of rims lol .
I'll keep everyone posted...
