What up everyone.....finally got a chance to take a few pictures of my car with the coilovers on. I'm now running JIC Magic Coilovers. Dropped at about 2.5" all around, but have plenty more of a drop to go. Hopefully if I ever get a chance to trade my rims, I'll be able to go lower. Here you go....

This was right after I put the coilovers on....took this picture around 9 PM.

I was able to take these this morning. The front bumper sucks right now cuz of the damage on the front corner......Anyone know of a body shop that'll repaint the front bumper for cheap???

Some changes made.....slapped on the bB emblem and took off the front plate.

Yes these are 2 different pictures

Close up of the drop. No finger gap in the rear and 1 in the front.

Enjoy

lookin good johnny! so much more you can do with coilovers.
once i get the MKIII's on this friday, ima dropping another 2in. more down.

btw, hows the ride, and how do those adj. dampening i mean.

Thanks for the comment! The ride is alright....I have to adjust the softness a little more. Right now, the ride is a little stiff, but not too bad. All I need now is some new tires.

Can't wait to see how your ride is going to look with those MKIII's. I'm sure that's gonna look sick.

[VinceSez]

In due time....once I get some new rims....LOL

 

[Johnny_XB]

any rubbing issues?

Right now it's very minimal....I have to hit a dip at a pretty good speed to feel a rub. But that's by myself. I haven't really tried it with passengers in the car. But the reason for the rubbing is because I'm running stock tires (185/60/15) and dropped with a no finger gap in the rear and a 1 finger gap in the front.

I realized that Falken 512's which almost everyone and their great grandma is running on 002's, has a really bad tread wear. Hankook makes a sweet tires, and the tread wear is way higher rated than falkens.

Ayos, Pare! Hey, what if, instead of trading/getting rid of the wheels, just change the tires and add a bit of neg. camber to the front and back? Nitto makes a tire that's supposed to withstand up to -5 deg. of camber (Neogens). With my -2 front and -3 rear, I am now able to tuck 205/50s without rubbing. If I were to do it again though, I'd get 195/50s...

[Mosh_xB]

sweet! nice stance!

if you dont mind me asking, how much did the JIC coils cost ya?

 

[Johnny_XB]

Normal price is at least $1000, depending on which model you get. But for these, I bought used and got it for a really really cheap price.
