Lower it

[Bob Gervais]

Hard to tell from that tiny thumbnail pic, but those tires look awfully small for an SHO. Not a lot of sidewall. Do you know what size they are?

At any rate, I think you'll be happy with the Intrax/Sensatrac combo. Or, Koni struts if you can find the rears.

Sack, look at the post counts, they have a life other than here, where you on the other hand have topped my count in less than a year and a half.
But congrats on posting without a reference to man whoreing yourself. damnit i did it for ya.
BTW did the stink bombs break when you got in your car and leaned on the armrest?

Exactly....Sack fwiw I've prob forgotten more than you know....in that note,keep it moving! I don't really wanna have to come back and say it again...

ill checkin to that intrac/ sensatrac, i forget what size the tires are, youd have to ask the ol man about that, i havent seen the rims and tires in person yet unfortunately

well i have a nice pair of 18's on there and i wanna close the huge gap between the fender and the tire, its got low profile tires, so right now it looks horrid, but i also wanna tighten up the ride , its a bit loose up front and kind bouncey, nd i wanna a suspension thats gunna handle well at higher speeds... although she handled really well at 130mph on the mass pike when i was home

Here is Intrax/Koni (1 coil cut up front) look on 235/45/17. The ride is firm, but tolerable.

The driver's side sits slightly higher than the passenger... But most of the weight is on the passenger side. I'm annoyed with it, so I'm getting in on the coilover group buy.

Here is Eibach/Koni on the same wheels/tires:

Jason, had you installed the Intrax springs without cutting a coil first? If so, any photos of that setup?

Thanks for the pics!

Talked to your old man yesterday about the setup to use. PM'd him a link to the springs on SHOSource, everything else he can get at work.

I tried to PM you as well, but got an error message that said your account doesn't receive ***?

hmm not sure about the whole PM thing, but also i want my car to be like wtf low like the tire is almost inside the wheel well.... i hope the picture i put up this time is big enough, how much of the spring do you think im gunna have to / shud have it cut to achieve the low look im seeking, id try for the koni's id think but it doesnt say if they come with four struts in it it jus says 89 thru 92 rears are out of stock, im gunna shoot them an email see what up but i tihnk im gunna go with the sensa tracs... my most inportant thing is that my car gets low enough to where they rim/tire combo looks good but i dont sacrifice so much stiffness that i might as well say f it........ also would a strut bar in the front be a swell investment with all this as well?

:thankyou:

Try using photobucket instead of FB.

Pm Inkertinker. He might want to let his go

I'll see if I can find a better pic, but this is before cutting (this is the lower side - weight of engine).

 

[Bob Gervais]

Thanks Jason. Always good to have a comparison.

Mike, I understand the whole "stupid phat mad low" phenomenon. OK, actually I don't.

At any rate, my recommendation would be, with the ****** roads around here, to go with uncut Intrax first. We can always cut a coil later if you'd like.

On the brakes, yes, PM Dave. The Cobra 13" setup is your best bet, unless you're planning on putting the stock rims back on it for the winter. Stock rims won't clear 13" brakes. However, if you buy Dave's setup, we can have the brackets modified so that you can run the 96+ 11.6" rotor, which will clear your stock rims.

well, its a sporty(ish ) type car, and its got nice rims and low pros on it so it wud jus look much better lowered,

and its gunna be drivin in kentucky for the next two years once i get back from afghanistan

and yah im either gunna put the stock rims back on it or buy another pair of nice/ yet not so nice rims and tires for winter time, or get another car entirely

whats the cobra setup gunna run, plus too one thing at a time lets get the struts and springs done then ill look at getting some calipers that say SHO on them
