JVC Posted September 10, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2016 Got everything put back together, did a quick oil change since my last one was 2,500 miles ago back in January of 2015, then took it out for some proper pics.

FINN Posted September 12, 2016 Report Share Posted September 12, 2016 Those are about scraping the fenders eh?? You should post a vid of it all airing out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JVC Posted September 15, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2016 It sits on the tire when it airs out in back. I've done some casual driving around the area and its definitely improved over the coilovers. Still gotta get the front swaybar brackets welded and reinstalled before twisties but its been fun to air out everywhere and watch people get mind fucked. Took some more pictures too!

Timbo Slice Posted September 16, 2016 Report Share Posted September 16, 2016 Can you raise it high enough to change the oil without a jack or stands? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timbo Slice Posted September 16, 2016 Report Share Posted September 16, 2016 $2,500-$5,000 modification solely so you can more conveniently change your oil... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe in October, my schedule is hectic as fuck in September, I'll hit you up once October rolls around!

Doubtful, but I can raise it enough to use the ramps I have that I haven't been able to use for years!

I want to find some 17's with a 40 series sidewall to try out since the rolling diameter should be smaller and allow me to go lower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm really happy so far with these, ride is firm but manageable and i haven't started dialing in the stiffness or anything else. Still running no front swaybar since I need my friend to weld in that tab, but I'm happy with the ride and handling so far! Picked up some junkyard trunk carpet so I can make the trunk more presentable, then on to the black interior swap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
