Installed FRPP C springs and Bilsteins (PICS) 56k=thumbnails

Ok, I took some pictures of my car today after putting on my FRPP C springs and Bilstein shocks/struts...

First things first:

1) I know my car is dirty
2) I took these pictures with my cell phone
3) No, everything isn't fuzzy.. It's just that friggin humid and hot out..

Now.. on to the show..

Front


Rear


Side shot


Action shot



The back is sitting quite a bit higher than the front.. But I hope it settles down over the next few days.. The rear is a progressive spring, so I don't know if that means anything with regards to settling down more....

The ride is excellent.. Not too harsh, not too soft.. No ricer bounce at all. I can definitely feel more of the road, but it's a "firm" feel. Cornering is 1000% flatter and more stable.

I almost fell out of the car when I got out for the first time. The car doesn't look that much lower, but i could tell when I got out.. It took "more" of an effort to stand up..

Thanks!!

I like the raked look too, but I think if you're going to rake it you should do it with tires and not suspention..

It feels great.. it corners very flat and stable.. I also have a set of MM full length subframe connectors too, so that makes a big difference.

Looks good man. . They should drop a bit more as they settle.

I got rear-ended awhile ago and it screwed up the adjustment thingy on the tip. It doesn't go in any further, so I just pulled the other side out to match. The actual tip itself was just squashed down a bit so I just bent it back and it looks good as new..

I should take a picture of the bumper. It's got some minor scratches and whatnot, but the tips are actually flush with the middle of the bumper where it sticks out most..

Looks good

The rear won't go down much more. I had my c springs since last year November, and my rear looks just like yours. You can cut off the dead coil to lower it if you want.
