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.

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 ass 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

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?

honestly from a picture it probably does.

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.

nice. I've been trying to figure out a good suspension setup that would be cheaper than koni yellows and GC's...
