Pictures - lowered w coils

Here you go Rob. The Panda Coils are on and sitting nice. Going to get alignment done tomorrow or Thursday. Props to AutoFashion for their awesome shop. I didn't even change your spring rate settings. Left them at the stiff setting and just had them tweak the height settings. Over all came out great, looks great, and I feel great. I can't even fit my finger in the rears and can fit 1 finger in the front with a tiny bit of room to wiggle. I could have went lower and I was tempted too, but it wouldn't be practical without ripping my kit off with the ****ty driveways and speedbumps they have at some of the places I frequent. As far as rubbing issues, hardly at all. Crazy thing is no fender mods at all lol. Maybe I wore the crap out of everything the last 4 years or rubbing on turns and stuff.

Pictures may not do it justice, but I tried my bestestsess! I seriously can't believe I rode around like this for 4 years, I'm glad I'm back in the scene though. Next are replacing these *****ty rims.

looking good sir! is that a cf hood i see?!

lexy250 07-06-10 08:02 PM

yes, how the hell can you tell lol, I tried to take a picture to not reveal it with the lighting. Your eyes are too good sir! May be up for trade for OEM and some extra cash though. I have some big plans, but still debating.

Thanks. It just isn't low enough if you don't hear that once in awhile lol. I broke it in already on the way home haha.

I have slight rubbing when my car dips in the front. It's when the car gets a pretty hefty weight load shifted down though. Normal bumps and even speed bumps aren't a problem. Honestly, I expected so much more. I didn't shave or do any fender mods what so ever, which was really surprising. Like I mentioned before, I think after driving 4 years and constantly rubbing on turns might have wore down some of the areas that have issues. I wanted to go lower, but if I get stuck on a speed bump it's game over for my underbody. Some of the speed bumps at the schools I go too are not driver friendly.

no worries brah, I'm ready!!! lol. I told the guy dump it more, cause if worse case, I can buy another. Great thing is, it's poly urethane, so shouldn't have to worry to much about splitting it. Still trying to rep the 808 proper. Will do so even more, when I grab bags....someday lol

Yeah, the grill does look pretty out of place from those shots, but it's not that much of an eye sore when standing and looking at the car. Definitely something I'll take into consideration. Reason for new rims is.....after 4 years of these, it's more than time to move on. Already have my rims picked out, just need to tell Freddie at AF to order em lol....2-3 more months.

Nice perfect drop. You make me wanna lower my front a bit more now. Any rubbing full lock? just wow perfect stance spot on IMO
