Came up on some MM coil-overs with bilstiens as well as some other suspension goodies curteousy of Fastertoys (ca fords). Spent the weekend putting them on and dumped the car to the floor. Thing rides way nice for how low it is and the best part is i got no rub even on hard corners or bumpy roads. Im a lil mad Epik didnt tell me how dope coil-overs were before, but he was being selfish. Car isnt real clean but paint/body will be in hte summer... Also put on my new catback, rear end and intake courteusy of TOPnotch (ca fords). Fixed a major vacuum leak i had. Car sounds MEAN, like a nascar damn near at WOT. If you think its loud now you should be behind it on the street when my mickeys are screaming. Check it out though. Lemme know what ya think

I like it. A lot.


You know, over the years I've come to enjoy the look of half-finished Foxes more and more. There is just something sexy about the work-in-progress look.

Yeah I'm running bilstien kit with hypercoils. Not sure of the rate though. But I like it.... and yeah there is something about a primered/unfinished look that I enjoy. But man there's nothing like fresh paint too. Haha.

Thanks for the love fellas

Coil overs at all four corners. Only bad thing is it reduces your ability to run fat tires since the coils are right there. My 275's only have about a 2 finger gap from tire to coil.

looks great man! what size wheels/tires are you running up front? my car used to sit like that, but i had to put iso's on the front springs because the 245/45's on my 17x9's rub the top of the wheel openings when i even just grazed a light bump.

Nothing wrong with a 2-finger gap!

Fronts are 17x8 with a 245/40/17. My front fenders are rolled also however.....

5.0Droptop: I don't like anything more than a 2 finger gap on my cars or my women. Hahaha

im running hoosier R6 275's which are the same thickness as my buddy's 555r 315's and my coil overs and tires fit just peachy, its all in the offset and backspace of the rim

Nittos run skinny for some reason though. Which works out perfect for foxes. But yeah it is all in the backspacing of the rims. Once I do my rear disk setup its gonna push the wheel out 1/8th - 1/4 of an inch though. At which time ima roll the rear fenders and see what size tire I can fit. My buddy is running 18x10 roushes on his coupe with coilovers and has no problems. So it can be done.
