I am looking forward to your opinions on handling/ride quality of the coilovers once installed compared to the RS suspension

 

[sonic_braaappp]

Well I don't plan on maxing the coilovers out, honestly I just want maybe another 1" drop in the front, 1.5-2" in the back from what it is now, basically want the car to sit level instead of leaned forward and just a tad lower. Of course I'll "slam it" when I go to big car meets and shows and what not since that's what people like to see lol

Car part fairies brought me a present )

I agree on the whole not leaning forward bit. Just looks better when level and you don't have to worry about rear end squat either.

 

[sonic_braaappp]

Exactly lol

 

[sonic_braaappp]

Installed my coilovers today, gonna lower the rear some more tomorrow

How does she drive with the coilovers?

 

[sonic_braaappp]

thanks Brad! and BMS, a lot rougher than stock or with eibachs, like a LOT rougher lol, but i dont have all the settings figured out 100% yet

 

[Blue Moon Sonic]

Your probably going to have to make the dampening a bit softer for DD and raise it maybe .15 inches on both the front and back. The rear should also probably be stiffer than the front so you don't get that rear end squat. I wouldn't know by how much though since I don't know what the settings are at right now.

I DD with rear on full stiff and fronts on 25 and it's very tolerable

 

[sonic_braaappp]

Fronts are on 17 from hard, rears are 10 as of today, rides perfect for me and no more bottoming out lol

 

[sonic_braaappp]

Just a little picture progression of my airbox mod/custom intake i put together. further mutilated the stock airbox, and sanded and painted/clear coated the tubes this past weekend, as well as went and got the midget cone filter xD

 

[Brad Ferrell]

That's cool. It looks good under your hood.

I gotta say, I wasn't thrilled at first, but by the time I got to the fifth pic, I was feelin' it!

Well done, I'm a huge fan of personal touches and nobody else will have an exact match of yours.

 

[sonic_braaappp]

Appreciate it Brad and Hulty! I wasn't a fan at first either, that's why I did something about it lol

 

[sonic_braaappp]

I'm a huge DIY-er, and this was another way for me to exercise that lol
