My car is shrinking....

[Eric VerValin]

Stock springs / monroes


Intrax (-1 coil) / Tokiko






Well still gotta do the rears yet.. then see how bad my alignment is off... but after 10 miles.. I can tell I'm gunna like these...


P.S. Ty Sinister.. :wave:

Now for wheels and brakes

 

[Eric VerValin]

LoL brakes? I got 11'6's, and PFCM pads... And if I put wheels on it, then it won't really be a sleeper..

 

[SinisterSHO]

Good to see your finally putting them on!

 

[Eric VerValin]

LoL .. Yea been busy fartin around with other stuff latley.. went a lot quicker than I had expected.. yay for that fat bottle of anti seize I bought!

 

[bubba]

looks good Eric! it's about time you put them on:dribble : now it looks better.

 

[droptSHO]

Very nice. Can't wait to do mine. Got everything, just need one more front Tokico

 

[Eric VerValin]

Post up in the WTB.. I'll keep an eye out for ya..

Its scary how saggy the rear springs can get! Are those 215/60's?

 

[Eric VerValin]

Yea.. thats whats sad.. when I do the rear.. it'll be about that same height.. I do carry a lot of weight in the rear tho. Glad the intrax rates are double what I got now.. I'll need it..

And yes their 215's.. they're my winter tires... got some funny 'feathering' to the tread assumed it was the strut mounts... waiting for alignment before I put nice tires on it..

I will say one thing... I thought my rear springs being old was the majority of the rear end dropping when I stepped on the gas.. but it seems the front struts have more of an effect on it than the springs... I can't wait to do the rear.... front end is lovley! My tires are a lot better than I thought they were..

 

[nw_mr2]

Looks great! How is the ride compared to stock?

 

[bubba]

it's night and day. He can take corners faster than before. he just has to do the back wheels. He has some other stuff done to it to.

Someone said "rides likes its on rails" and that pretty much fits I think. Some say 24/23 understeers a lot, but with new poly bushings, and ALSFB's its about perfect. I haven't really pushed it too extreme yet... with the bad rear strut mount.. but my tires all of a sudden seem to grip a lot better now Probally because its still flat on the pavement.

I will take this to a track sometime.. I would enjoy seeing how and when it actually breaks traction. Around here .. you just gotta be too dangerous to even get close. That and most roads don't have a sweeping 180 degree curve..
