Nice build! Loving that drop.

 

[TheSlowAndTheSerious]

Thanks bro! I love it man, at times wish it was a bit lower but I love it. The ride quality is amazing, a bit bouncy but can't complain at all for springs.

 

[What'sUpDOHC!]

Nahhh looks perfect that ride height! Too many complications with dropping it to a certain point. I'm thinking of switching it up also to maybe some springs.

 

[AlienPrime]

eibach eh...

hmmm very nice

good alternative to coils. Hows the suspension travel?

hopefully under 2"

sell me your coils!

 

[TheSlowAndTheSerious]

Tell me about it man, most of my friends that are on coils (not even maxed out) go through at least one oil pan a year lol. The streets where I live are HORRIBLE. I'm thinking if I get 18" wheels the drop would look really nice. IDK still undecided on where I'm going with that

how is suspension travel tho? Like how much compression do you see if you stand in the trunk? 1/4" drop? hopefully not much more

Some sites say 1.8 front 1..4/1.5 rear, others say 1.4 all around, I think it's lower. Like I said the quality is amazing, they were pretty loud and made some popping noises at first but that's basically stopped already. A bit bouncy at times but I could live with it lol

IDK I'd have to go stand in my trunk to tell ya lol

 

[Nix]

Lookin good man. I like the carbon wrap you did on that front "bumper" insert part. Nice touch!

 

[TheSlowAndTheSerious]

Thanks man, my friend ordered some for his car and had a bunch left over so I just threw it on there. It's not 3M but it didnt look/feel like bad quality lol. Now I'm trying to decide if I should wrap my roof in carbon fiber or gloss black vinyl.

gloss black 100% trust meee lol

but okay.. i know it's weird.. but if you could stand in the trunk or put like 150-200lbs in the trunk and tell me how far it goes down

anyways thanks! Just want to know travel on the suspension because 18x9 wheels will be cambered just to fit and i wanted to see how close it would get, or if i have to buy coils And i don't want to spend the extra grand

 

[Nix]

AP is right. I saw one of the new kia optimas in white with the gloss black roof. It definitely looks good.

Ill do it brother! Next time I see my friend I'll tell him to hop in the trunk and I'll take pics of it. and YEAH! Nix I originally wanted to do gloss black guess I'm sticking to it.

[Freddiii]

Nice build thread Anthony! U have done a lot for 2 months time. I need a job so I can satisfy my mod cravings.

 

[TheSlowAndTheSerious]

Haha never enough mods though! Going to slow down a bit now, saving up idk for what either HFP kit or flash pro but mods are slowing down in the mean time. Lol I'm mad the rt 17 meet isn't going down tonight was looking forward to meeting you!
