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.

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.

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

Diode Dynamics 02-28-2014 03:49 PM

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

Looking forward to seeing pics with your new setup installed
