Just replaced me OEM struts and springs this past Saturday with some Maxspeeds and some Tokico HP Blues... the look and ride is awesome. I also installed the FSTB since the struts came off. You can view my pics at:

Thanks to housecor's website and his great How To write up.

 

nice! just think u should go with some differ rims. thats just my opinion

 

Nice work.... I just got my struts/springs done this past weekend too... I had planned to do it myself, but since I was getting new tires mounted, I just got FASHIZL to do it all for me... yeah, I know... it was lazy of me....

Here's what it looks like now...



Guess I forgot to mention that those are HPs with Progress springs I have on there...

 

I dare to be different...

 

Nice drop, I have blues n ebiach springs (it was onlyl 275shipped offa here! ;D) it's not bad, but a pita to lift the car now lol..

 

cant tell its dropped cause the rims are so small

but nice choice (suspension wise)

 

niiice, cant really tell you even dropped it though. good choice though with suspension...

 

They are 18" rims so I don't know how much bigger you want me to go (I did not want any bigger). The Maxspeeds probably have the smallest drop that you can get. My main goal was eliminating the gap in the front, which was achieved.

 

I'm looking at drop pics right? o.k. so either my eyes are failing or you did about 1/2" drop. Shoulda went went with coilovers then you can slam and ride smooth

 

Not all of the pics are of the drop. Only two of them are the after pics.

 

The springs are Maxspeeds and the drop was 1.4" F and 1.3" R.

Did not want to slam it. My goal was to eliminate the gap, and I did.

 

NICE JOB I like the drop! There is a diffrence, the gap is gone compared to stock. something I will do next year.

Agian nice job.

 

Good Job!

You can easily see the drop, especially in front. It looks great!
I have Maxspeeds/stock struts. How do you like the HP Blues?
Were they $275 with or without springs?

 

looks good man

 

Pretty nice drop. I don't like those rims but hey, it's your car.

 

How much did Fashizl charge you?

 

$290 shipped from JDM Werks on ebay.

 

Thank you.


Thank you too. I took a poll on the rims with family and freinds and these are the ones they chose... majority won... I'm happy with them for now. I really like the Spiders and may switch to those in a year or so.

 

Those would look much better IMO.

 

$165 shipped from another Org user on the Classifieds. (used with 10k miles on em)

 

Depends... sent you a PM...

 

yeah those rims make it look alittle cheap and take away from the look of the drop....imo

 

I think you guys that can't tell it's dropped need to pay a little visit to your friendly optometrist!

 

I like it! How much did it drop? I need to keep mine basically stock in the looks/sounds dept (I drive clients around occaisionally), so I'd only want to drop mine about that far. Looks good!

 

The springs are Maxspeeds and the drop was 1.4" F and 1.3" R.

 

was never a fan of the maxspeed drop thats why i am on JICs..and you can tell my car is SLAMMED! hehehe

 

jdm works is the ish got my tokico illuminas for 435$ shipped

 

hows ur suspension man?? Is it stiffer now?

 

Yeah man, its great.... the HPs work well with the Progress springs and I love the handling now, I guess having Illuminas would be so much more awesome... its an incredible improvement for such a small investment... also, the drop looks decent even with stock rims... the ride isn't harsh, although its a little bouncy over mid to larger bumps.... highway driving has been smooth so far...



More pics here (but not many):
