Z86 Pegasus White on Kiwamis and Eibach Pro Kit
 
Its finally done, and DAMN I love it.

Heres my 86, lowered with the Eibach Pro Kit
On Work Emotion Kiwami's 18x8.5 +38 wrapped in Bridgestone RE002's 235/40/18 all round.

(BTW I have 4x17" GTS rims with tyres available for people who want a full size spare - $350 each - pm me)

Enjoy.

Mate, very very nice.

The curves and lines of the 86 just come together when lowered on wider nice alloys. The best colour of course:thumbsup:

Still waiting on mine,

looks sgoooooddd! did you need camber bolts with the springs?

omgwtfbbqsauce 10-20-2012 06:09 AM

how does the ride comfort compare to stock springs?

spiller 10-20-2012 09:26 AM

excellent! i have this same combo except i went with 9.5 all round and wont be running centre caps. i'll probably put coilovers in too as id like it a little lower than what the eibach springs offer.

No, my suspension guy said he'd put em in if needed but it wasn't.

I prefer it. It feels more grounded yet maybe only slightly stiffer. These are the US springs - apparently Australia will be getting the German spec'd ones and they are stiffer again.
This is my daily driver and I drive a lot for work, so comfort was important.

Very, very nice
Very tasteful and thank you for no flush/poke
You should have good handling with that setup as well (not overly wide, tire suits rim width ie no ridiculous stretch :))

Looks superb, Perfect even ! What was the ride drop? How does the car's handling & ride compare to factory setup ? What's the car like on those grippy tyres? Is the cars alignment within factory spec or out ? Expensive ? Cheers - great job !

Looks good. Looks like ground clearance is still good for DD.

Looks gorgeous buddy!

you and I might end up being twins :3

do you find that it becomes a bit floaty with the bigger wheels?

kvl 10-20-2012 09:25 PM

Looking good, I'm having same white on blk work wheels except using sportline instead of pro kit !

nix 10-20-2012 10:14 PM

Looks amazing but hmm @ the beat sonic fin. I dunno if I will put mine on now.

The ride height change was actually pretty minimal - because the rolling diameter of the wheel/tyre combo was about 20mm more (and surprisingly I could feel that it was higher before the springs went on) I gained about 10mm clearance, and so the springs which dropped it about 25mm, means that my actual clearance change was only 15mm lower
Just measured it - clearance is 115mm under the engine pan (lowest point). The front lip clearance is 145mm.
The sportline would have been too low for me (as it is I have to mount my driveway carefully due to the large slope).

It is a bit more grippy - but I always felt it wasn't grippy enough before - I would get wheelspin just pulling out of my street without trying hard. I can make it spin and slide now, but by choice. I'm sure when I get it on the track I'm going to love it.

I must've left the alignment specs at work - but for memory it was within spec.
Expensive? All relative - but I thought the fitting for springs was a bit pricy - came in at $550 including full alignment (not including springs which I supplied)

Not at all.

Gee, the thought didn't even cross my mind yester but that extra 20mm RD is gonna screw your speedo accuracy. It looks magnificent tho ! :thumbup:
