Finally got around to taking a few pics, these were taken just after the install. After about 120 miles the front settled down and now the fender to wheel gap is about the same as the rear. The ride is great, and the difference is unbelievable...
Well done, very well done. I suggest the caster camber plates for everyone.
That looks stylish man. And the drop is a good amount too. Your car must handle nice over bumps, especially with the new struts & shocks.
It looks really nice.
I am impressed to say I didn't think the pro kits would lower your car that much.
Well really it only dropped about 1/2 of an inch in the rear, and the front did not drop at all until I drove it around a bit. Now its about level with the rear at 1/2 of drop. You right it handles great, and the ride is firm but not harsh. I drove it to work the yesterday (62 miles one way) but 12 miles of it were twisty mountain roads which resulted in me having a serious grin that lasted most of the day...
I really can't tell which mod was the biggest bang for the buck, as it was all done at one time. All I can say is it was a night and day difference.
I will get some more pictures when I get it cleaned up. She is needing a good coat of wax and some detailing.
It only lowered it 1/2 an inch?!
Seriously?!!
maybe it's the angle you took the pictures at because it looks lower than that. I don't think you would have noticed too much of a difference with your new struts and shocks unless your stock ones were on the out anyway.
But I do like the drop.
what tires do you have on again?
maybe that's why your car wheel looks filled..
Well before I turned the first bolt on the project, I had it on the shop floor and measured fender lip to floor, and fenderlip to lip of wheel. And when I finished the project took readings again. At first there was NO difference at all. As a matter of fact the rear was like 1/4 inch higher. But I had a feeling that I would have to roll it down the road and get the suspension to travel some while under a load to settle in correctly. At that point, actually when I took the pictures the rear had dropped down alittle more, and the front did not. But after I took it to work and made the front end work alittle, she finally evened up. I will drive it some more and take some more measurements and see if it has dropped.
As far as the tires they are 255's on 17x9 factory rims. I did put 25mm spacers on the rear so that it would bring the rears out to the fender more. I am happy with the look now.
