OMG!
 
Damn, dude your car looks unbelievable!
:eek:
Nice work man. :thumbsup:

:bowdown:

Are these the Ground Control coilovers with the adjustable ride height? If so, can they be adjusted to the stock ride height? If that's the case, I'd like to get them over the summer.

Since you asked for opinions. Looks really good. IMO, would go with a little taller (and wider) tire to take up some of the front to rear fender gap. Top of the tire to fender is fine.

Wish I could get away with as big a drop as you, but it would NEVER work here in Houston. Streets are really bad.

Just wondering but do you have the springs that original 8" springs that came with the GC's or did you get shorter 7" or 6" springs? Also what spring rate did you get. Just trying to gather more info that all. Btw the car looks sick, and do not ever go over those stupid speed humps straight on. I have the bodykit as well but im sittin on Teins and the front wasnt my problem, its the b-pipe that lightly hit. (I wasnt paying attention to how I was goin over it, I was kinda distracted by something at that time.) As long as you use common sense and stay away from curbs when you park, ect... The front should stay in place. :D

Ive just heard that when you order Eibachs, you get to choose the spring rate. I just saw a max here a few days ago with 20" chrome wheels and GC's and it was tucking the tires and the rim was about .5" from tucking under the fender. Looked pretty sick in my opinions. What struts are you riding on? Also could you possible go lower, just want to know how much you have left to lower til the GC's max out. :D What can I say, I like em low.

i am riding on toks and it rides fine. The height you see the front at is as low as it can go.(IT's pretty low man!) The rear can go about another inch. I think you can order 6" springs from ground control. :)

It's a stillen aero kit. I have racing hart C5's on ground control coilvers lowered about 2.5 inches.:)

HitManSE May 3, 2003 05:09 PM

Hmm, just wondering. Have you had any clearance problems at all? I know for a fact that speedbumps arnt an issue but those roided out speed humps you have to go over at an angle, I accidentally went over 1 head on and the front and rear tires were on the ground and the stupid hump was right on my exhaust.

rob van dam May 3, 2003 11:04 PM

roided out speedbumps? im confused. Some bumps and hills i need to take slower, but i am careful.
