    Forget Euro slamming, I'm Canadian tuning

    Slamming cars is played out, here's the new trend. 4x4's rock.

    I'm running the following:
    Ground Control coilover sleeves
    Koni SA front, Boge rear
    350lb/in 6" springs front
    440lb/in 7" springs rear + 10mm spring pads (1 per side)
    All spun all the way up.

    The wheels are 14x6" ET33 Fittipaldi Monolithics, running 195/65/14 Nokian Hakka NRW's.













    Front: 25.75" Rear: 25.25". I figure I'm at around stock height in the front and around 1/2-1" higher than stock in the rear.

    Driving a car with solid spring rates and many, many inches of suspension travel is pretty damn entertaining. Kinda WRX-esque. :D

      boge shocks and 440lb/in springs? :shock:

      how does that ride?

      nice winter wheels, certainly better looking than bottlecaps that haven't been washed in over a year ;)

            Got a secret for ya. I was running the Boge's with 475lb/in 5.5" rear springs all year. :loco: I only miss more rebound under hard launches, when axle tramp rings in. Rides great, runs auto-x times matching stroked stripped 225 R-compound running track rat E30's. :o

              I didnt think you could actually go that high.

              Wow.

              edit: I just did the opposite when installing new CAB's.

                  It doesn't look too bad. It's still lower than my 318 was with stock suspension.
