How soon after did you swap suspension?
Any other car I've done it the first month, literally, but I just can't bring myself to lower the car with only 150 miles on it. It is such a blast to drive now, I'm afraid I'll lose some of that once I lower it. I already have my mind set on the eibach pro-kit, and want to wait for bilsteins or eventually get koni's in the distant future...thoughts?

See sig....3500 mi @ about 4 months. All mods are in order done since new.
|
8-9 months and ~7000 miles of ownership until suspension change depending on when I get my warranty strut back.
Exhaust was done in 2-3 weeks for the axleback, lmao. |
I am enjoying the manufacturer's engineering, no plans for changing yet. If you like it the way it is now, just keep it stock until one blows or you want something different.

I made it to 5k miles on the stock suspension. i barely made it to 2k on the stock exhaust. 1k for the intake.
i have a serious problem. |
3 weeks in for coilovers. Just rounded out with swaybars, endlinks, and adjustable rear control arms this weekend, which is about 7 months in due to lack of time.
I recommend going with Konis. They tend to be better matched to higher spring rates and take lowering much better. I had them on my LGT and would not go with any other if going with a spring/strut combo. |
Tint was in three weeks. Ordered wheels the first month. Eibach Pro Kit springs at about 6000 miles. Then OEM Mud flaps. LOL.
No problems. I am happy. Car looks and feels better. |
Took me 6 months for RCE springs. After I put my summer wheels on, it looked bad with too much wheel gap. IMO, it's even more fun now and the front feels more planted.

I was able to take the car to the local dealer and get side by side shots. Front view http://www.ft86club.com/forums/image.../wol_error.gifThis image has been resized.

After about 14k miles, 30 track days, and 4 months on stock suspension and ginger alignment tweaks, we started to do significant amounts of testing and providing R&D feedback on TEIN SRC coilovers. :thumbup:
|
3 months (waiting for winter to end it's icy grip on my ride height) and about 3000kms (~1850miles).
Personally I like the car a lot better lowered with new shoes and some sticky rubber. |
I made it 300 miles before I installed full GroundControl coilovers haha.
