Welcome to having zero suspension. I bet youll get tired of the terrible ride quality after about a month and go back to what you had before.

CleanNeon98 · 11-27-2009, 11:21 PM

Front is gonna come up to match the rear. Ride quality is pretty good actually feels solid and planted. Front is a tad bouncy but that should change when I raise it. May throw spacers on too

Willdue · 11-28-2009, 12:04 AM

Lower it....

OutToWinPAHC · 11-28-2009, 12:12 AM

Yeah bring the fromt up a little and let it settle, space the fronts out a good 10-15mm until you get some wheels.

DriftNasty180sx · 11-28-2009, 12:32 AM

get all your suspension arms for this car and slam it...and u have to get it all aligned again but once you do it will looks F*cking awesome and u wont have to worry about ur tires bring used up too fast.

CleanNeon98 · 11-28-2009, 02:02 AM

For now I'm gonna roll fender and get studs and spacers for the BBS and will probbably get the xxr 002 in the spring unless I like the rks enough at that point to keep them.

JDMTyler3326 · 11-28-2009, 02:22 AM

Really it doesn't look bad at all. But would look much better I think with 15s and lower even more.

CleanNeon98 · 11-28-2009, 02:25 AM

When I get smaller tires and/or wheels, I will play with it again, for the time being its a roll, space, and raise the front to match rear.

CleanNeon98 · 11-28-2009, 02:30 AM

Where can I get extended studs and spacers...4x100, spacer should be 15mm.

nope, but now has coilovers.

phillycivicsi · 11-28-2009, 06:27 AM

^^^hahaha lol

stover · 11-28-2009, 09:11 AM

looks awesome, i also probably would have dropped it before fixing its running condition haha

CleanNeon98 · 11-28-2009, 09:46 AM

It will he foxed in time let's all hop off my sack for a while and worry about ourselves.

superskaterxes · 11-28-2009, 10:28 AM

you can get alot of spacers from eibach. and H&R carrys longer studs and spacers.

motorvated · 11-28-2009, 11:36 AM

lol...so your car still runs terribly, but you bought $300 coilovers? After the past year of blasting every car on cheap coilovers...and after saying you'de never want your car lower then it was with springs, because your car is a rare sports car and you woudlnt defile it like that. Not to mention, now you say you may want Sportmaxx? HAHA After giving everybody with sportmax/xxr **** for having cheap ass wannabe jdm ebay wheels, your thinking about them? Man you've changed. Im not even upset, im impressed! Throw some 16X8s on there. Maybe look into ISC racing top hats for the front/rear. They will give you an extra 1.5 inches of travel, so the coilovers dont blow. Its a good investment, and will save the coilovers. Mine felt great for about 2 months then went down the drain. With the ISCs, it made it better....but they were to far gone to save really. I suggest looking into them now, before your put in the same boat.

arp for studs and eibach or ebay for spacers

CleanNeon98 · 11-28-2009, 06:52 PM

Yea I'm looking around for em, not sure what size to go with still. In the meantime I gotta roll fenders, raise the front about half an inch, and then decide what I wanna do wheel/tire wise if anything, I'm starting to like the BBS again. Gotta shave off the fender/bumper mounting bolts on the sides cause they rub, and zip-tie the **** together. Otherwise, can't complain.

wheels fall off.
