whatsup guys. i finally got to drop my car after a long period of laziness.

The coilovers i am currently using are D2 Racing coilovers. Thanks to the folks at Vex Motorsports in San Jose, CA.

the coilovers itself are really smooth. no squeaking, no problems.

i am also currently using 8mm spacers on the rear. slight rubbing, but easily fixable.

heres the BEFORE pictures.. awhile back ahha

lemme know what you guys think! good and bad.

Wow, that bad boy is seriously slammed. It would last long on the mean potholed streets of NYC but you Cali peeps can get away with slamming like that.

That isn't slammed at all. The top of the wheel is flush with the fender. That seems to be the same ride height of H&R sport springs. "Slammed" is when the top of the tire is almost hidden by the fender imo.

Yup. Actually Gene, the forums will be seeing additional coilover options more and more shortly.

To OP, continue to give us feedback on the coilovers after the first 1000-1500 miles if possible. Thanks and enjoy the ride.

i thought about going that low, but i figured i'd try things out with the current height... as of right now, i'm pretty set on the height of my car especially where i live.. i have a somewhat steep driveway and i barely made it up haha
