Z86 Pegasus White on Kiwamis and Eibach Pro Kit - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Z86 · 10-19-2012, 11:40 PM

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

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 !

Nardi330 · 10-20-2012, 06:49 PM

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

Surok · 10-20-2012, 08:13 PM

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 !
