Default New pics of the car, SLAMMED VIP style....

Here you go. HKS LS+ coilovers threaded 2/3 down in the back and all the way down at the front. Ride likes rails but retains very nice comfortable ride....I am in love!



Another angle...



Closer, at night....



At this height, my bumper height is pretty decent without looking like a road-scrapper, but I keep on grating the turbo downpipe on speed bumps or steep incline. I may have to raise it when I get sick of the scraping, but for now I am loving it!!!!!!!!!!!

Thumbs up

Very nice drop. Once you go this low, YOU CAN'T raise it back up. It looks so good.

Hahahah you guys crack me up with your comments. Thank you. Your positive comments make all this work worthwhile.

{-.-} - Thanks, but I am not going for the VIP look hehehe. I just slammed it low for the center of gravity factor.

GS4FUN - Simple, you don't. I live in the tropics.

DIESELMAN63 - I think I may have to raise it soon. The turbo downpipe is scraping speed bumps everywhere I go. It's robbing away the fun of driving.

PandaGS430 - Wait till you see all this more stuff coming for the engine. Can we say intercooler and Tom's braces?

Richie - The brand of the tint is V-Kool, very popular here in Indonesia but I never actually heard of it in the US. It's their Platinum tint which is most anti-UV (thus the reflectiveness) and I think it should be equivalent to your 5% limo tint coz try as I might, I could not see the inside of the car during bright day light. However, at night, with no reflection, the tint is reduced to medium brown/black color and the interior becomes visible. Quite nifty if u ask me.

Blackened - Ntar kalo lo udah balik indo, test drive aja. HKS LS+nya asik banget man, bantingan boilnya jauh lebih enak dibandingin shok/per yang dulu ada di mobil. I think the TRD brakes are calling for you hehehehehe.

rominl - now blown fenders here. The offset of the wheels are perfect, there's no rubbing at all even with this low height, and I don't seem to bottom out even at high speed or over speedbumps. But it might just be my turbo downpipe (soon to be busted at this rate) stopping the bottomingout hahahaha.
