Had these installed a few days ago. They are still settling somewhat, but they look so much better than stock. No more "monster truck" look but definitely not slammed either. I can still drive normally and take speedbumps without scraping.







Now for some wheels... any suggestions?

 

Advan RS's in gunmetal would make your car look sooo clean! Thumbs up on the drop, looks way nicer now.

 

im partial to axis reverbs...... get them in anthrecite, and that thing will be b-e-a-utiful..... i have them in gold

 

I second that.....or Work Emotions

 

i did the same thing! i was tempted to just start running other cars over with the old monster truck!!!haha, but now im thinking about running underneath them, they will never know what hit em.

 

wait. how much of a drop did you get? i think i got too much drop!!!

 

Do you like the ride better than stock?

 

x2

and are you on stock shocks or MR bilsteins?

 

if you feel like taking a ride to upstate NY, I have a set of SSR SP1 Professors, 18x9 +31 offset,Black with polished lip with black motegi lugs with Bridgestone REO50A pole positions. 3k miles on them. I dont want to ship or seperate. I have them up for sale for 2200.00. Will sell them to you for 2k firm if you make the drive. BTW your car is beautiful.

 

Where did your intercooler go?

 

The ride really didn't change much. It is still comfortable over bumps. It feels a little "tighter" and more sporty. After installing, the shop commented that it felt like I had bilsteins on there but it's just normal GSR shocks.

 

Best springs out there IMO good thing you didn't go with the Tein S***-Techs haha

 

I just got Swifts in my 8 MR as well. Love the ride. Did a measurement before drop and after drop from center of wheel to top of wheel arch. There was zero change in the height of the rear and about 28mm to 30mm drop in the front. Did you guys experience no drop in the rear?

 

nice car man, I was about to go with the swifts but then went with the GF210s, which have more of a drop. BTW what % tint is that, I was thinking of getting mine done, but I dont want it totally blacked out - VA cops are so hard on tint.

Great to see some one from Herndon, I went to HHS

 

LOL...This is what I sold to get my MR and you're thinking stock was monster truck looking? I'm looking into the works springs. I like the .9" drop all the way around. Who didi you buy the springs from?
