Default Dumped gs300 awd =)

Just installed my suspenion in driveway

i'm on BC Racing awd dampeners and lowered it 2.5" all round for now because im still waiting on 3 pc rims to come. Its on the FIRMEST settings and I get a TINY bit of vibration. So little that it almost sounds and feels like its not there.

Enjoy.

What are you planning on doing with your old curbed up rims? I might have a use for them if you'd be willing to sell them at a fair price.

IMO, I think it's nice when cars are lowered, but that just looks over done. I say bring it up an inch.

feel everything and i need to dodge every crack and pothole. when my rims come in i might raise it a bit.

and on a side note, thanks for the help on my suspension decision.

its actually not that bad to ride on firmest but i guess its cause im use to it. i had a dumped civic tucked on dish before this car so having firmest is actually pretty soft for me. ill try 10 and 8 and see how i like it and give u an update. Thanks for the tip on factory setting

There is a slight vibration sitting at a light but its so minimal that it just feels like regular engine vibration. There's no vibrations during driving but there is a slight wobbles during heavy acceleration from 20 - 30km/h.
