Can you say 3 wheels?

Today finished installing K-sport coilovers on my 4th gen. I was pulling out of the driveway and the rear wheel lifted off the ground. found my camera and took some pictures.

yup thats normal with k sports. that happens to me all day. that driveway is not that steep, on some drive ways, on the other side not only the tire will be tucked in all the way but 2-3" of the wheel gets tucked in as well. maybe ill take some pics of it !

Clearing a 1.7 or a 2.3 KB Blower ? I'm curious because most of my buddies clear the 2.3 with no hood scoops .

He did mention that comments were welcome. But comments like this aren't really needed are they?

I can really feel sometimes when my rear wheel lifts off the ground in a situation like that. What were you riding on before the ksports?

And man, no offense but that hood scoop looks TERRIBLE. It looks ridiculously tacky. You need to have something much more subtle to actually look good.

Even something like this would look infinitely better:



http://www.fiberglass-hoods.com/hood-scoops.shtml

But you still need to go about it subtly. The 4th gen has very subtle styling and that huge misshapen thing sticking out of your hood looks ridiculous, even if it is hiding a Z33 mani. Hasn't the Z33 IM been done by dropping the motor 1/2" as well?

FYI, it's there because his intake manifold does not fit.

I actually like his hood scoop. It adds some character to his car. Now if he put that there just for fun then there would be a problem. But he actually has to use it.

My classes are pretty nice. I got some computer graphics classes, so starting my major in the first year FTW. And I have some drawing/design classes. I haven't draw a single picture in my life.

i love the way your car looks, but there has to be something you can do to get rid/change that scoop, it kills the car

Car loosk good with the Ksports, and the wheels.

The hood scoop isnt my flavor but atleast it serves a functional purpose. If it was just for cosmetic use I would advice the removal of it. If you add a lip and paint it black like the hood scoop, it would definately add a different look to your car, and might blend in well.

How are you enjoying the Ksports vs your previous suspension setup?

k-sports are pretty good actually. So far I am enjoying them.
I do have a cf lip that i need to put on as well as a trunk. then later down the road a cf hood and add some more cf touches to the car.
