Finally done with suspension for now!!
H&R sports
Blisten sports
THR CABS

For me being 16 and not having any prior car knowledge I'm very proud of myself. I love working on cars as a hobby. Seeing the end result after countless weekends of work is priceless.

Next up on the list is getting the European bumpers installed and then the Mtech1 peices (with zender sides, should look good!) Also I have a pair of mint smoked headlights in the mail. There’s a good chance I'll be selling them for profit but I’ll be installing them to see how they look and if I fall in love with them, they are staying on!

Criticism is highly welcome, but don’t bitch about me doing mods without my license yet. All was done for pure fun, experience, and knowledge.

Did you not put the rear springs in?

looks good, usually takes a while for suspension to settle a bit. cant wait to see the rest of your progress.

I put them in. I'll see how it settles then I'll decide on taking them out or not, thought that isn't high on my priority list

[f u z z]

fucking a man! Ive been doing a suspension overhaul myself.

you will enjoy.. eventually. haha

Nice work Jon, looks good but I vote for taking out the rear pads ;)

If you did install the rear springs, I think you did something wrong. I've never seen a car with that much rake after installing lowering springs. What kind are they?

just regular H&R sports, as far as I know!
What could I have done wrong? hmm

Usually the rear looks lower than the front. It's a fairly simple swap, so I don't know what you could have messed up. I don't think you messed anything up, just see if it settles more after driving around or waiting a couple days.

H&R Sports usually have the opposite rake... the front is a lot higher than the rear. That's pretty wierd, I thought you had the stock springs in the rear still as well.

What exhaust is that? It looks massive.

Have you seen a picture of a stock eta with 195tires and high arches. There is a huge difference from the stock height in the rear.

I need to find some old pictures. They might have been lost when i transfered them to our old pc, so I could redo mine. shitt

The exhaust is a magnaflow. Of course its going to look huge and obnoxious with no bumpers and rear apron. Give it time 8-)

[Schniddy]

just re-activated my host for pictures and I found an oldie



notice, rear has undersized tire in that pic, but still shows the difference well.
