Great build pics and info, I'm digging the AWC center plate you had fabbed

 

Great work scheides! This car has come along way! I cant wait to see the AWC plate all powder coated!

 

Suspension, suspension, everywhere! I was trying to get some sort of stock-ish suspension setup together for this thing, and a few fridays ago I ordered a set of eibach springs for it. I had no shocks and no hats, so there was a lot of little suspension components to either buy seperately or find whole assemblies. I had been hunting and hunting for a decent deal on a set of Bilsteins out of an X MR, but I got sick of people wanting a fortune for them or them being potentially damaged, or whatever.

Ordered up a nice clean set of full GSR suspension, 8k miles on it. As (my) luck would have it, two days later, a set of MR Bilsteins popped up for a great deal, and the came complete with a set of Cobb springs!



I swapped the Eibach springs onto the Bilsteins and started ripping out teh coilovers.



Bolting down the last few bits. You can see the big whiteline swaybar up there, bolted in a few days ago.



The Tein MonoFlex coilovers, already sold. Awesome coilovers, but not for me. Hopefully I don't miss them


And, the leftovers (for sale):


After buttoning everything up and putting some miles on these this weekend, I am SO HAPPY with the results! The new suspension sits about 1/2" higher than the coilovers were set at, the drop looks nice, the ride is absolutely fantastic, and the car still corners like its on rails. I have an alignment scheduled for Tuesday @TheAlignmentGuy, and I'll be doing some more testing and an autoX in a few weeks

Whenever the extra bits sell, I think it'll be BBX time!

 

Fantastic build! Suspension looks good.. How about some pics of the drop as it sits now?

 

Niceeee write up.. :]

 

Soon, sorry. It looks just like before, but about 1/2" higher

 

Okfine, after pics. It's not super clean, but seeing as its raining out while I took this, it's not gonna get much cleaner than this for a while :P

 

DTA! Dont trust anybody! .. hahah you came up phat with the suspension sets. good looks

 

Thanks guys! Got an alignment today @TheAlignmentGuy.com and the car feels freaking AWESOME! Jeff does all the top cars around here, fantastic guy! Ended up with zero toe and about -2° camber in the front and -1.5° in the back.



Jeff has been known to have a bit of a temper, but he is an awesome guy! I brought him starbucks

 

The car truly does look fantastic

With the new alignment you should be ready to head back and hit the real track !

 

keep up the good work!

 

I hope you knew that the dampening adjuster is located on the bottom of the front shocks and not on top? (Tein MonoFlex are inverted struts)

 

looking great!

 

You are a God to Evo's everywhere. Very nice build, and very nice to see you properly cleaned up a mess.

 

whats this all about? whats purpose does it serve?
