I don't get the slam, camber, and stretch fad. I like drivable cars than ride decent and can handle. __________________ No more ti. | | | 11-13-2011, 02:23 AM | #4 | Senior Member Join Date: Nov 2010 Location: Potomac Falls VA DMV Posts: 1,794 | SLAMMMMMMMMM. my car handles like its on rails and I'm dern low __________________ Im guessing im the youngest member on here with a S52 power'ed Ti at 16 years old! | | | 11-13-2011, 02:39 AM | #5 | Senior Member Join Date: Oct 2011 Location: Lancaster, PA Posts: 295 | Quote: Originally Posted by slow_ti SLAMMMMMMMMM. my car handles like its on rails and I'm dern low | hell yea im definitely gonna slam it, its gonna handle better anyway changing from the OG 16 year old springs in it now haha, im going for stance and i want it to be aggressive, slammed, and hella clean, if you have any ideas on how low i should go or what springs to use for the look let me know, im trying to make this **** happen -zach | | | 11-13-2011, 03:35 AM | #6 | Senior Member Join Date: Nov 2010 Location: Potomac Falls VA DMV Posts: 1,794 | If you don'tt want performance and all low.

I went with KW V1's and have yet to get them installed. __________________ 98' TiAg318ti Sport 5MT - Vaders, ZHP Shift knob, Black kidneys, KW V1 coilovers | | | 11-13-2011, 04:16 AM | #8 | Senior Member Join Date: Oct 2011 Location: Lancaster, PA Posts: 295 | those racelands are pretty affordable, and i do like the adjustable feature that way i can just tweak it until i have it where i want it, opposed to just springs where id drop it and hope it dont rub haha | | | 11-13-2011, 04:41 AM | #9 | Senior Member Join Date: Oct 2011 Location: Lancaster, PA Posts: 295 | i saw the rokkors to and they also look affordable, but ive heard that you do and do not have to tweak anything when putting them in the rear, im not sure yet i asked eurohb like slow_ti said because the stance that he has on that white ti with the green rz469's is exactly what im going for and im awaiting his reply so not sure yet | | | 11-13-2011, 09:04 AM | #10 | Senior Member Join Date: Apr 2010 Location: Scranton/Wilkes-barre area PA Posts: 454 | Quote: Originally Posted by slow_ti If you don'tt want performance and all low.
