Springs! Post your Pics!!
 
Hey guys,

I want to start modding the car, and am leaning towards getting sportlines or swift springs. We had a thread like this in my z forum, but didn't see one here, so sorry if I missed it. Anyways, post pics of your ride with aftermarket springs. Including wheel specs would help as I am trying to see how much gap is left. Thanks!

How is the ride quality compared to stock?

What are your thoughts on the H&Rs. I use to have them on my Elantra. How's the ride quality?

Just a tad bit stiffer. Running stock shocks. The Swifts I'm running are made for the BRZ (fronts are stiffer). They are comfortable and nothing harsh.

Lowered on Eibach Sportlines
Claimed 1.4" drop

fooddude 01-22-2014 03:00 PM
Always loved Eibach.. but of the pics I've seen of the fr-s/brz with them, is it me, or does it always look as if the rear is always slightly lower (or, maybe it's just totally even front and rear?)?

I like the frs/brz pics I've seen with the Tein S-Tech... as it appears to give a more attractive and slight rake (ie: front slightly lower than the rear).

Im deciding on which springs to get as well but I have also noticed many suffer from that saggy butt look.

About 15k. The night shot was 24 hours before I wrecked her.
The ride was a touch smother than stock, enough so that my best friend who logged the most passenger seat time noticed the slight improvement.
My wheel set up was neutral and tires were soft summers.
This was a very good set up for street/dd IMO and I wasn't planing on switching to coil over until it was time to change the shocks or I started sporting that would benifit from coils.

Yes, if there's anything I dislike, it is this. It just reminds me of, and looks as if, something is broken in the rear (like on unrestored vintage 80s and earlier cars).

I either like it dead even front and rear, or safer/better with a slight rake. I've always adjusted my past cars with a very slight rake (.2-.5") ..with a rake, I feel/think more oversteer, easier to shift weight to the front and more balanced during accelerated turns.

From what I've seen (in search), the Tein's don't have that "saggy butt look" ..even the number/specs state it is indeed a rake (front slightly lower drop) ..hopefully some people will post new/old Tein spring pics.

Wow :brokenheart:I'm so sorry to hear about that I hope your okay... I'm all dd and street driving so that's all I'm worried about. You reccomend an alignment as well?

I'm fine. Looks nasty but it wasn't that bad. I waited on the alignment a few months (after I went FI) it was more noticeable it was off then (pushing me left) but it wasn't way off.
If you are doing the springs and wheels it's okay to get it aligned after you have that figured out (unless it's bad) why pay twice.

I'm also running eibachs sport line. . Got rid of allot of the boucy ride that it had stock.

Yeah I'm not going FI... So I guess I'll wait a while when I put my fat summer tires on around march/April to get it aligned bc I have those on for a longer amount of time

Those OZs are a classic wheel. Looks pretty sharp.

Anybody with the Tanabe GF210's? I'm looking for a pretty mild drop due to speed bumps at work.

Try some rce yellows or the eibach pro kit that has about a 3/4" drop and 1" drop, respectively

Eibach sportlines, trying to decide if I need coils or not.. Or just buy shocks, if I lower it any more, DD is gonna suffer so much.

Ride feels very similar to stock, just stiffer. For the price, I have been loving it.

FRSWiLLY 01-26-2014 04:32 PM
Sportline's, 18x9 +45 wheels, 235 or 245 tire... Should be a DD setup to tide a guy over for a bit yea?

Yes, the rear sits lower. I have Sportlines and that's definitely one thing I HATE. Looks saggy in the butt.
