    I finally did something to my car



    Finally lowered my car. Back is fully dumped, I dunno how high the front is, my mechanic aligned everything and I don't want to mess with it :P

    I'm going to raise it back up a bit though, rear camber is looking... Kinda hectic.

        Welcome to the club :)
        For the Konis...It's recommended to run them at full soft for a few hundred miles to break them in then adjust them to suit your need.

        Fully dumped in the rear eh...How long ago after the install did you take those pics? Your car seems yet to settle .. it will be a little lower when everything settles :twisted: ...

            Congrats, it was about time!

            It looks little bit too low, adjust it to nice stance, and when you throw some wheels on them, than, you can drop as low as you can because another thing is, you will be scraping all over.

                  looks really goofy to be so low in the back, but oh well. enjoy the setup!

                    I agree with Rob. The front is a good height, but the rear is way too low.

                            Actually, my driveway has a slight bump in it, I need to take some pics on flat ground.

                            The reason it's so low in the back, is that the car looks like it is leaning forward. It still has a decent amount of rake to it, but it was leaning forward like some lame muscle car when I had the back up more.

                              Backs a bit too low for my taste.
