Default Garage Excellent Aristo - Slammed on coilovers

I'm not sure if any of you are readers of Jon Sibal's blog or if this has been posted before, but I felt is was too crazy not to post about it. I understand that this car may not be to everyone's tastes, but try to appreciate the level of commitment in this build.



The list of modification is a long one. Two mods that stand out to me are the conversion to a 5x120 bolt pattern to utilize Breyton wheels and the fact that this car is not on air bags, but coilovers.





You can see Jon's full writeup and more pictures here.

i guess if the hub swap was ez, then its no prob

OP...somewhere on here there is a post/video of this car is INSANE low with the same video u have in that link. we talked bout this months ago but most if not all assumed it was on air and not coilovers. do u know what front bumper that is btw? and did he fill his right rear exhaust outlet on bumper. i didnt see a spec sheet or anything on his write up

also most people don't realize how smooth the roads are in japan compared to here, i dont remember EVER having a bumpy ride even in the taxi's. tell him to come to America and ride that low and see how long he has a bumper i do like it though. its true gangsta
