Default Suspension installed!

Put on my racing suspension!
Had to wait a while due to not being in the same state as the vehicle but it's all gravy.

By the way, UGK cd is unreal.

Here they are!

Before:


After:


I think it looks good.. one of the bolts needs adjusted.

Nice! What is your suspension setup? And are those BBS wheels or?

I was thinking the same thing. Is it just hard to see the sidewall, small wheels, or is the drop not that big?

it's noticeable. alot in the front.. may be hard to tell unless you're next to me (probably because it's hard to see the sidewall), but the pics definitely aren't doing it justice. maybe it's because i took them at different angles.

anyway..

i dropped it 1.4" in the front, 0.8" in the rear..
stiff suspension, stiff spring
17" ASA rims, not BBS

the car handles like an indy car now!! it's great.
just last night, i approached this corner rated at 25 mph, took it at 60 mph, and barely had to apply pressure to the wheel.. just glided through it.
