Got my coilovers installed

Since I'll be out of town the next couple weekends and won't make it out to cars & coffee, I figured I'd post these pics so you all can see my car with the coilovers installed.

This first pic is right after the coilovers were installed, prior to adjusting the camber.



I'd like to lower the rear a little more but the front is just about where I want it to be. Gotta clear speed bumps at my apartment complex and at work, otherwise I'd love to go even lower.

Nice.

Next step: Wheel spacers.

It's a neverending cycle.

Yup, that's the next step and I'll roll the fenders as well. Thinking 12mm in the rear, 10 in the front. And I want to do angel eyes as well but that's a low priority.

So far I haven't really had the opportunity to let loose on the back roads but in terms of everyday driving on the highway and stuff, it seemed fine. I drove to Philly and back over the weekend on the hardest setting, and while I noticed the difference, it wasn't unbearable. I turned it all the way down to the softest setting yesterday and have been driving on that for a couple days now.

Its range is from 0 (softest) to 30 (hardest) so in a day or two I'm going to set it somewhere around 8-10 and probably keep it there for everyday driving.

Went with BC Racing BR Type. I did get an alignment but I will be getting new tires in the front soon and also lowering the car a tad more and putting spacers on it so I'll probably get another alignment then.
