Wanna see how big that 1.4 and 1.3 drop is. I'm thinking what my next project should be? Drop the car or get CAI. I already have a Stillen HiFlow but I guess its not enough. kev how much gain do U think U got with the CAI over the Stillen?

 

If you can wait a week, we'll be able to tell you! Max Gator will be dynoing his car with the Y-pipe and Stillen intake soon. We will compare this to my car with the Y and CAI. Both cars baselined the same on the same dyno, so the results should be comparable.

Cool Thanks for the info.

 

I see they are $220 something at tirerack with $10 shipping but is that for two or four springs?

Unfortunatly they don't sell shocks or struts for the 2k...you planning to get those too pioneer?

The ride is comfy and handling is gr8 with the 17's and fstb but body roll is still there when taking exit ramps (that go around in a circle) at ~50mph

 

PIONEER, you wonder why your paint is going to last. Driving like that is going to get you all sorts of rock chips. Cool picture!

 

Peter the springs are 4 in a box, I already talked to Tirerack. With H&R Springs U need the camber plates also to get the allignment into factory specs. $28 for those. But B4 I order the springs I wanna see how low the car looks. I don't wanna sit on the ground.

As for the chips. How U explain the chips on the hood and bumper? with that kinda driveing it should be more on the side doors.

 

I don't have numbers, but I feels like it pulls better. Maybe all that noise is getting to my head? We'll see which performs better when madmax2k and Max Gator do their dyno.

 

I am waiting for my RSB, will see if this will remove that nasty body roll.

 

Thats not bad then even with the camber plates.
You didn't answer if you are planning to get shocks and struts or use the factory?

Time for you to get a bra or that 3M stuff.

 

I didn't know anyone was makeing struts for the 2K yet.

A pretty easy way to see what the cars "would" look like lowered is to measure clearance on one side of the car, go around to the other side and jack it up just to get the springs to compress on the side you measured. Go back to the side you measured and re-measure. Keep adjusting until you get the 2" difference or whatever the amount is. All this does is compress the stock springs and gives you a pretty decent idea of what to expect. To get a further drop in the rear moreso than the front, that I hear Eibachs will do, you'll want to jack up the car more in the front.

I know: I have way too much time on my hands.

 

Let's see some H&R's damnit.

 

i'll show you the power of coil overs.. welll.. more like paint. muhahaha.
