JHEIII874T5M Posted June 27, 2007 Report Share Posted June 27, 2007 Looking good. Kind of wishing the front were a bit lower, how do you like the feel of that suspension setup? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackBeast Posted June 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2007 Looking good. Kind of wishing the front were a bit lower, how do you like the feel of that suspension setup?Thanks Yeah, I wish the front was lower and the rear was a little higher lol. Having said that ive only driven it once since i changed everything so it hasnt had time to settle yet. It might drop a little more lol.As I havent had the car aligned yet, i havent pushed it at all, but what i can say is that the ride is very similar to stock without the wollowing feeling, nothing harsh, quite comfortable, feels very planted, just everything i wanted from the setup when taking it easy. I did go for it with 2 straight runs in 2nd and 3rd, whereas before i would get plenty of wheelspin, now it just launches without any spin at all.Would totally recommend the shock and spring combo.

The Big Tuna Posted June 27, 2007 Report Share Posted June 27, 2007 i think we have been over this, but, do you actually use the trailor hitch, if not dump it its fuglylike the rest of the car though, and the drop looks nice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ViperVette Posted June 27, 2007 Report Share Posted June 27, 2007 doing all suspension upgrades at once. Smart move I think I'll be able to see your smile from all the way over here its gonna be so big once you get it aligned. Don't expect toooo much though, remember... its still FWD :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then fit my sideskirts and 'r' front bumper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aequitas_Veritas Posted June 27, 2007 Report Share Posted June 27, 2007 Wow, you have the EXACT same suspension setup as me. Down to every company and part. Only difference is I have OEM control arms, I havnt gotten the powerflex bushings in yet, but I will this weekend. You will LOVE it. I have so much fun around corners now, the harder I push it seems to make the FSDs get even better. Post back once you take a long drive through some windy roads. Heres a pic of my drop after settling. looks better then yours, hopefully yours will settle as well: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackBeast Posted June 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2007 doing all suspension upgrades at once. Smart move Yeah saves on alignment costs, especially as it will cost £65 + VAT to get a 4 wheel alignment. Cant get it done at my local Volvo dealer as their machine cant handle 18" wheels, so got to take it to Toyota instead LOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
