Default llamas 2IS pics v.3

*More crappy pics, crappy camera, crappy photographer, crappy lighting, BUT as usual not a crappy car *

Finally got around to taking pics of my car with the Eibach drop *thx to REV-01 (Samson) of Revision Audio even thou Lance did most of the work, a shameless plug i know*, pics taken at the lower H3 lookout since the upper one had a bunch of sportbikes and about 5 very tasteful EP civics.













Comments/questions/off topic always welcome in my threads.

Looks good. How much lower is it than the sports tuned suspension and how is the ride compared to the stock? Also, what percent and kind of tint is that?

Sports suspension drop is only like, .3-.4 inches over norm for the front only, eibachs are 1in front .8 rear. As for the ride, over bumps it feels the same BUT when making a turn from a dig, the rear feels more composed rather than that funky wobble. Gave me enough confidance to hit 13 corners (maunawili back road to the pali) in the day, slightly damp, at a solid 40mph, on the way home. Will explain on that in the race board, rice accord was behind me.

Tint is something called 'supreme' w/e that is... i just get the best tint from the shop i trust the most, quality of work is whats most important when it comes to tint.

Looks like you got the IS350 Eibach Pro-Kit.

I think your car would look a lot better with some spacers too

Went to MD in kailua for tint. As for the safety check... yea pissed me off when i picked up the car, the salesperson started to pick at it with her nails, i was like no stop... When i got home i looked under the car for a place for the mounting bracket and its all plastic down there... i'll just leave it there till i need a new one then i'll put it in the space next to the plate...

*cough* no smoke tails for me

nice drop and tint, but why the chrome pillars, maybe with chrome wheels to balance out the chrome, but to each its own!

When your car is white and the tint is smoke, the windows are like a black void, i wanted to break that up, also like speed&eco said, you gotta see it in person, which he has. For 35bucks on ebay for real chrome *metal* overlays how can you go wrong?

As for rims... no, the stock rims are fine, my whole reason for getting xpac, IF i ever damage them then i'll bite the bullet and buy some Works T1S... hopefully not for a very long time thou.

I love the X-package and the color but not a fan of the B-pillar chrome.

Nice - I think I've been around that area on my last trip to Oahu. That is near Ko'Olau Golf Course right? I think I remember that road when I played there before. Anyway, would you happen to remember the tint % you got?
