Got the extreme drop kit bc coilovers in...



A bit shorter than the stocks



How they were preset when I installed them...the tires weren't touching the ground!! #layingframe LOL



Hella sunk OEM's



How I set the rears...



The rears with full load on them...



Flush with no spacers! about 1mm of clearance between the tire and fender!! #perfection



Another angle...


The fronts are rubbing pretty bad so I'm gonna roll/shove the front fenders next week and also remove/cut the plastic inner liner.

 

Rears do NOT rub at all surprisingly!! I cut off part of the rear liner and had some primer sprayed there. Rear fitment came out better than I could of hoped for!

 

any full shots?

 

I only have 2 pics with the stockers on...1in lower in the front and 2" lower in the back from the Tanabe springs.

 

Cmon HubRings..if you are doin all this you need a build thread..stop messin around

 

How about a full car shot withe the new wheels?

 

looking good I would ride around with at least one other person the adjust it from there.

 

Lol, that's a good idea....don't know why I never made one....

Here's 2 pics I took today after I raised the front a little...


Thanks, iv'e been having a bunch of friends help me out!

 

now that's money.....#moneyshot

 

Looks good

 

looking good

 

How is the ride and how far are they adjusted?

 

So what did you order exactly ?? Did you get them from a CL vendor? Did you order them through circuit motor sports and ask for custom spring rates, shock body length? How is the ride ?? Car looks amazing by the way. What made you want to get the coil overs??

 

Thanks fellas^^*
I have the rears in the middle setting and the fronts 5 clicks down from the hardest setting for now. On the stock wheels with all coils set to the medium setting it rides nicely...just a little fim in the rear. Once I set the fronts to my desired hieght, I will start slowly lowering it a few clicks at a time until I'm happy with the feel. Iv'e rode with a friend with the same coils and spring rates turned to the softest setting and it rides quite nice, even lowered quite a bit.
Thanks Tammer. Tristan @ CircuitMS is a great guy to deal with and will definitly hook you up! I ordered the BC racing BR-series coilovers with the extreme drop kit, which basically has 2in shorter shock bodies all around, and 12/10kg spring rates. I believe I am the 1st person to order the exteeme drop kit for the ls460. Quality is great! Best thing is that there's no additional charge to order it like that! Ride on the softest setting,( which I havn't tried yet), is really nice.

Also, keep in mind that with this stiffer suspension, the braking is MUCH better, the handling in unvelievebly better, the acceleration and throttle response and shifting all seem much faster as well. I love it!! Such a huge difference! You will fall in love with your car again, and driving!

The benefiets explain themselves^^^

The rear extenders are awesome, too. My installer hid them in the car seat hook area, where the little plastic cover is, and is completely hidden and easily accesible for adjustment. I'll snap a pic of that if you'd like.

 

Not bouncy at all?
