Installed new suspension today, pics inside
Well, I finally got my suspension all ready to go and installed today.
Best part of the entire thing is, Mike (88crex) did all of the work. All I had to do was offer a second set of hands a couple times. This was really efficient for us lazy folks
Anyhoo, here it all is, I wanna dial in the height a bit more but I must say the car rides...PERFECT. Not stiff, not bouncy, doesnt bottom out, its just ------- perfect.
One funny thing I noticed when we pulled the coilovers out and inspected them, was that the last guy had the springs all mixed up.
He had them like this
Front Right - 350lb spring
Front Left - 450lb spring
Rear Right - 450lb spring
Rear Left - 350lb spring
kinda funny.
PICS
Look at this ----, ITR's and front cuts all over the place, ******.
88crex's Favorite breaker bar, hey Mike is that B-Series or D-Series
The evil suspension, see how on the rears one is cut like 1.5" shorter than the other. Yikes.
Before on cut springs, see that hard *** tuck
Two after shots after we had the fronts in, way better
The end result. I cant decide if I want to raise the front to match, or lower the rear.
Big Thanks to 88crex (Mike) for being a badass and taking care of this ---- with me today, and to jdm_racer (Thuc) for setting me up with the parts

Re: Installed new suspension today, pics inside
lol, I remember the very first set of Eibach springs I put on. I put the front ones on first and dropped it to the ground. I said "God damn that ---- is low!". Then I put the rears on and said "Son of a bitch, I put the rears on the front". God damn noobies.
Car looks good. How does it ride now?

before the top of the tire was about 1" - 1.5" up into the fender, now the front is only about 1/4" up into it, and the rear has about 1/4" gap.
