just got my gram lights on ..next is the coilovers
 

about damn time i got these bad boys on..i dont like the gap so ill be ordering the bilstein b14 pss coilovers next month since they are on back order. hope they become available so my buddies and i can get this gap off . feel free to comment on what you think i dont mind people's opinions :thumbup:

Rims: gram light 57 dr 18x8.5+38 & 18x9.5+38
tires: Falken ZE-912 235/40ZR18 95W & Falken ZE-912 265/35ZR18 97W

i think people that spend thousands of dollars on suspension parts solely for eliminating gaps are cray cray

you could have spent only a few bills on springs and called it a day

$950 aint too bad..and plus being able to adjust the height is always better :happyanim:

the fine height adjustability of coilovers is there for corner balancing and supplementing for weight changes.

it's like using a crow bar to hammer a nail

950 for a new set, shipping and taxes included? i guess that's a pretty good deal, but still much more than you need (unless your stock dampers are used up already)

meh

But hey where I live there are rednecks that spend 10X what we spend on decent coilovers for their HUGE lifted truck suspensions that NEVER see off road 4x4 action.... so I dunno... :thumbup:

Looks good. Do you notice much of a change driving on a staggered setup? 57DRs were my initial choice, love the look.

actually 925 lol but yah shipped and all..final price..just have to wait 2-3 weeks thats all. im going on 17 k miles very soon

lmfao i know a few of them :lol:

thanks bro :happyanim: im about to get my red lug nuts next week just waiting on them to come in..and then the coilovers. hmm just a tad bid..i feel like the car is a little more of a road hugger..the tires seem to grip the roads better..maybe its just me but even my buddy agreed. feel some what more bumps but nothing that bad that you cant put up with.

You should totally hop on those st's. $764.99 shipped to your door ain't bad at all

Not a bad price at all but I think im going to stick to the bilsteins appreciate the offer though

Looking good. FYI not in stock with Rays USA at this time. Better get pre-ordering.

Those look awesome, especially in black on your car, great choice

Looking forward to seeing pics with your new setup installed

Luh dem 57dr wheels :thumbsup:

on the bilsteins?? if thats what you are talking about yah i know they are supposed to be in stock within the next 2-3 weeks to what i was told.

thanks i will keep updating as we go..towards the end of march hopefully i have the coilovers in and installed.

thanks you sir :thanks:

B14's indeed sound like the best bang/quality for the buck option. A few hundred more and there is also BuddyClub and the Tein Street Flex. I think I've read a few bad reviews of the Buddyclubs breaking and/or read they were made in taiwan or something by a cheap company (idk if that's true). I'd prolly pick Tein Street Flexes out of the aforesaid 3 coilovers...dem Teins look quality.

Tein are good..but bilsteins though..had a few buddies with these on the wrx's and they were nice

looks good. time to slam it :)

btw you'll need fender pull for those 265 unless you want really negative camber.

Only lowering it an inch or so

just ordered my bilsteins pss b14s :D

@Moddiction

Curious how these wheels fit after lowering? I'm dead set on these wheels, but I went to discount to get a price quote and they told me the 57dr's would not fit without some modification...

who ever is telling you they wont fit, obviously dont know this chassis very well...

just look through the meaty tire thread, most have no fender mods besides the rear bumper tabs trimmed. (which will trim themselves if you dont)

also it depends on the tires and what suspension.

Thanks, that's exactly what I thought. I argued with him for a few minutes before telling him to drop it, I just wanted a quote. My mind is already set on those wheels.

about to post a pic.

i have more pics if you want

If you want there can be another option other than the B14's, there's the ST's as well. At an affordable price point, I wouldn't buy anything but those two in the order;

1. Bilstein's
2. ST's

Not if you're going to use that potato.

Should have posted in Wheels | Tires | Spacers | Hub

what? i dont recall sharing the pic for you :thumbdown:

Could you make up your mind?
But seriously, why would you post a blurry picture when it is so easy to post a pic that is sharp.

you can see it if it was blurry you would not be able to see it at all:bonk:

Google Translate wasn't able to help me that.

1st learn to spell and im sure google translate will help. ill post up some new pics since captain complain-o needs the best pics. doing that now.

that better ?:clap:

No clearance issues with the stock struts?

nope no issues

I never have liked black wheels, but Gram Lights are damn fresh. Is that brand name actually embossed on the spoke?

How much do these weigh anyhow?

Thanks for the pictures, all of them were good enough for me. Should be placing an order for those wheels today, going with the gun blue. Still haven't decided what brand tires I will run yet
