First and most important, many thanks go out to Patrick (phenryiv1) for the help and the use of his garage and tools. Many thanks also go out to Jason (Cutler) for his help and knowledge of these cars. Thanks a lot guys!

First driving impression on the BCs.......AWESOME! The road feel is superb and the ride is not harsh at all. Before I was on Eibach/Illumina with settings at 3f/4r. Everytime I would hit a bump in the road in those, it would be a very harsh jolt and you would hear and feel it. With the BCs, it is much more manageable with very little jolt. NIIIIIICE. This is just my very initial impression driving home from Patricks house (about an hour away). I will get some more feedback after some more miles.

So here are some pics after I got home. Bear in mind I am still fidgeting with the ride height so it's pretty low. Once I get the ride height where I want it, I will take some more pics. BUT, here we go as it sits right now.

This is just to show the wheels if anyone is curious. 19x8.5 with a +35mm offset. No spacers.

 

Rear needs raised

Rims are nice!

 

perfect

 

Nice, how much were they? I PMed Larrio and got no reply

 

where can i buy i set of these?

 

A user here w/ the name Larrio sells them.

 

so you think those wheels would look good on 2000 black SE

 

How far away are you from 20707? Im asking cause I might be interested in getting these coilovers and if you didnt mind Id drive to you to see how the ride is.

 

He's a busy busy man, but don't worry, he'll get back to you. He is currently out of the country, so it might be a little bit.

It'll run you around $900, maybe less. Depending on shipping and payment method.



Yes, I do. Black on black is always a winner.


A quick mapquest says we are about an hour or so away (50+ miles). I don't mind taking you for a ride, just lemme know if you are out in the area or we can set something up when we are both free.

 

I have never heard of those, they look great.

 

Fairly new, if you wanna know more just contact Larrio Motors (Larry) on this site.

 

sweet man, im glad they worked out. i have been wondering how they ride. i had sprint springs for awhile, and like you said with the eibachs, every little bump was amplified with a harsh jolt and hearing/feeling it.

 

Cool ,thanks.Ill Pm you in a couple of days. Next weekend will probably be good for me.

 

i love the boss chens. I recently set my coilovers on the full setting... wow they were stiff but they handled so well through any turn I took... and the next day i set dampening back down and the ride was just superb! what a perfect ride.

 

Dang man, I've been going back and forth with these versus progress/illuminas. I keep leaning more towards these.

You should drop your front another .5"

 

These are definitely on my to-do list Boss Chens FTW!

 

Thanks everyone! The more I drive around on these, the more happy I am with the purchase.

I messed with the ride height more today, but I just couldn't get it perfect. Everytime I'd lower one wheel, the other side would be higher. Then I'd lower that and another wheel would be lower. And this merry-go-round went on for a while until I got it alllllmost where I want it. I'm gonna drive around at this setting for a week and take some measurements next weekend to see how everything has settled. Then I'll go from there.

Thanks again Larry, you have yourself one nice coilover!

 

Looks great, so how much do they run????

 

Looks really good
I wish i could afford them.

 

I mentioned this above.

 

Looks good, Rob, glad things worked out. I'm sorry I missed the install party, but I know Pat and Jason were definitely more than qualified to do the job. I do want to check out the ride quality sometime, so maybe I'll give you a shout the next time I'm around Leesburg.

Btw, how much were these again?

 

Thanks man. Yeah, give me a shout, I'll be glad to take you for a spin. I can even let you know when I'm around Fairfax.....my best friend lives near GMU and I go out there occasionally. (We're making it sound like it's 2 hours from Fairfax to Leesburg, haha).

 

looks good

 

looks good man

 

Very nice. love the slight but noticable chrome accents.

 

Looks good man, now raise the rear a tad and you'll be set

 

Nice setup. Love the wheels too!

 

Looks Good Rob, too bad that Ahole got in front of me in the Neon otherwise I could have shown you what the little roadster can do ......

 

When I went around him during the passing zone and noticed that you didn't go....I figured you'd be pissed. I bet he sucked all the fun out of the twisties for you.

A few miles up the road I looked in my mirror and noticed a Miata darting around someone, I thought "that must be Jason".

 

Yeah, without alittle more room I couldn't do it, FI will aide that. You got around pretty quick, 130hp won't do it that fast

 

You need VTEC.

 

Make sure you are measuring on a level surface... Also, once you drop the car back down take it for a short spin then measure.

Don't get that @nal about it yet though... Let them settle for a good month otherwise you will go through all of it again once they really settle.

 

Wow, a month. Well, it looks like it is starting to even out. I'll probably check it this weekend and then wait until next month to give it another shot.

Oh, I am doing this in my garage, which is pretty level (at least I hope it is).

Thanks.

 

whoa, this setup definitely is HOT!! for $900 buck, and good clean ide, i just might have to put these on da whip. good looking ca mang!

 

looks good! Be sure to take it easy the first few weeks, let all the seals break in or else you can risk some oil leaks in the shock. Remember to retighten the collars also.

To those trying to contact me, I hardly check the Larrio sn anymore, so just PM Larrio Motors instead. My apologies!

For those interested in buying these, I won't just sell to anyone. PM me, we'll talk about what your looking for in a suspension setup and your goals in mind. This way I can direct you towards a suitable purchase for YOU, whether it be my product or not. Keeping this business small makes it easier to manage.

 

just joined, any other ways to contact you?

 

You got mail.

Cheers
