Yeah, it might have been someone else. But yeah, we definitely are pretty close to eachother!

Do you have any math on how much the car was actually lowered? Here in LA I park next to curbs all the time and some of them are actually quite high. Passengers right now on some curbs only have about 1.5-2" of clearance over the curb. I want to know if I would be able to get anywhere near this low.... let me know please, would be a great help!

SpacE82 · 06-22-2011, 03:06 PM

I'm not sure exactly how low the car is now, but I can measure when I get home from work. I was thinking about the same thing too. I'll let you know.

AWD2RWD · 06-22-2011, 04:36 PM

Thanks a lot! This will help me decide on setup, if I can lower, I will prob go 18's with my stock RFT and then use extra cash to go ST V1 and lower so its more flush.

Got a mini review on the coilovers? Pretty interested in them

JSCO · 06-25-2011, 04:20 PM

nsquared · 06-25-2011, 09:51 PM

Hot!

Soccs · 07-10-2011, 03:24 PM

wow looks Amazing! great wheels!

M_BYEEE · 07-11-2011, 12:11 PM

nice stance love sg in these shots

SlickShift · 07-11-2011, 08:45 PM

The drop looks perfect! I'll probably get a set of these within the next year!

SpacE82 · 07-12-2011, 01:10 PM

Thanks for all the comments guys! It's been a couple months since I've had them on and I'm really happy with them! They may have settled a little and the car might be a tad lower now. I have noticed when I go over big bumps, I'll get a scrapping/rubbing noise in front. I can't tell if its the tires rubbing or not. The tires arent rubbing when I turn the wheel. It could also be those black plastic pieces that hangs in the front of our cars. But it doesnt happen a lot, but I am much more careful about bumps, curbs, driveways, etc. I def recommend them! The price is great, and they look/feel great!

NSM · 07-12-2011, 02:10 PM

Do you have a link to where you purchased them from?

Its ok, I'm already bringing the car in soon for them to fix the cracked third break light, so I'll just add that to the list haha.

f1rst 1 · 07-14-2011, 01:26 PM

there are also adjustments under the hood that you can turn to adjust the height of the hood when it closes, I had to adjust mine on my car when I first picked it up. after I did that, it lined up perfect.

I love the space gray with black wheels. Enjoy the coilovers
