    Updated:Rear end higher...Nice day, Picwhorin' (56K=no)

    I got the 6in springs installed, and it seems very weird to me. I'm so used to have my rear being SLAMMED. Now it is at a reasonable height. Car is slightly raked.



    Rear camber when from -3.25 to -2.




    It is such a beautiful day! I just found the "broken" digital camera and want to go out for a photoshoot. Sun is shining so yeah.

    Cool now you won't be running on bump stops all the time and killing you shocks.

        I think they're 15" Borbet C's.

          Gary is correct. Some nice, cheap 16.5lb 15x7 Type C's.

          The day was TOO nice not to go out and take some more photos. The sky is so blue its nuts. Oh yeah, I almost forgot I washed it yesterday.








          And just to indicate how bad 205/60-15 rub with E30 M3 offset bushings........this is the wheel turned only a little:

          I will try to get my 16" T's on today, but I got other shit to do. We'll see.

            looks alot better IMO. Today i'm probalby picking up some extra spring pads from bryson and hopefully getting rid of my saggy rear end as well. I think saggy rear ends look ghetto.

              Definitely better, in my opinion. It was just TOO slammed before in the rear, must have made driving difficult.

                Here are more pictures from today's little pic-shoot.










                That lake is where my dad's office is located on. I will probably be working in there during the summer to help pay for / pay off stuff for my car. I really love the way the pictures came out, as I just rushed and shot them, but the sky is beautiful and the weather is finally nice.

                Notice the tempting straight roads, and curvy ones around me. Too bad they are 30mph .Oh wait :twisted: But those curves are awesome, I try to drive them everyday.

                    Rob, a few questions:

                    Are your fronts 6" also?

                    Can you give me an approximation of where your perches are set? When my GC's finally come in I want to get as close to the stance I want on the first try (there's a show coming up next weekend, time is a factor).

                    Also, I tried to get that rear bumper trim for you, but it was sold already. Hell, the rear strip I got is in pretty rough condition. :x

                      Yeah, I just checked. It's metric, but converts to 6". The fronts I dunno really where they are, covered in 1.5 years of grime. But it has a while to lower. Maybe 1.5 down, 1 left to go. The rear is completely at the top of the adjustibility still.

                      Too bad about the strip. Oh well.

                        Looks MUCH better, I love the stance now.

                          Wow. You couldn't be more right Greg! I more or less noticed today I wasn't being ass-pounded by bumps or holes.

                          The low rear end came be a horrible ride, but now it rides quite nicely. It should will my pretty soft rates.....
