  • She gets ridden at least once a day



    Here's my car after finally finishing the coilover install I think I've done well.. Booking her in for a wheel alignment. Don't want to talk about the install. It was a *****. I ended up redoing the whole thing to make sure all was well. Tie rod has been fixed. Cheers!

    car looks good, wash it though, did you end up replacing the tie rod or did you just man handle the bolt?

      Torched it to heck and just used a longer wrench and kicked its ass. Felt good. Thanks for the help man. It turns out we were missing a spacer in the rear struts cause it was hitting the upper wall everytime I went over bumps. Fixed that issue too. I borrowed the hex key from stefan this morning and both the front struts are now tightened to spec. I really don't trust the front struts cause they're smaller than the hub. I can see why people complain about the struts going through the cv boot. Otherwise the car rides nice and stiff. Not even a tad bit on the bouncy side.

                  If your going to slam it, the time is now, before the alignment.

                    coilover and install should not be used in the same sentence in your instance.

                    slam that ***** or take em out and give em to someone that will actually make good use out of em.

                      Because clearly slamming it will make driving it that much more comfortable to drive.

                        This thread is so strange, people insulting you for lowering your car a very noticable amount? Anyway looks good! I'm sure that's a fair bit lower than your average cup kit.

                          We're just getting on his case I realize that it is on winter rims so it doesnt look quiite as low as it actually is.

                          Jan it looks good.
