Group car wash with franz






Anyway onto the good stuff. Got my front wheels!


Now that was the test fit before I adjusted height, trimmed, cut etc etc. This is the final result.


Now I got a bit greedy because the front, even though fully maxed out, sat a little higher than the rear so last night I pulled the helper springs out for moar lowz


However that was a fat waste of time haha. The car actually sits higher now because I didn't want to lower the spring to the point where it had no preload. So since I refuse to run the coilovers set to where the spring will have "droop" I will be reinstalling the helper springs, accepting my finger gap and raising the rear accordingly to balance it out. Eventually I may invest in shorter front springs but for now, I will enjoy being able to toss the car around without damaging anything

Next up: Paint

Correct. I put the helper springs back in last night and this is how she is sitting now, fronts fully maxed out.

Word, the raceseng top mounts don't lower the car at all do they? Looks like a perfect height, how does it handle?

No sir, I don't believe they do. Their rear hats do however but I don't have those. I'd say it's the perfect height for performance and looks, but from a looks only perspective it could go lower but I don't mind. She handles like shes on rails haha. As far as camber specs, idk tbh because I still need to go in for an alignment.
