welp, after the long wait, i have finnaly gotten my suspension back on, and i can also show some of the newer stuff that ive done to the car, im on my way to the hatebreed concert so this is all i had time to post, ill do more later.

Just wanna say thanks to the guys at road race for not only installing the tein kit, but overall being really cool and melo, hard to find through the majority of shops if you as k me.


The front shock and spring set up


blah


these are the upper struts you need for the ES model


This is a before shot taken this morning (anyone ready for lift off?)


after shot, muuuuuch better







painted the headlight housing, but i didnt do the whole thing black, just my taste i suppose...


got rid of my after market stereo and my subs and amps and all that crap, systems are just starting to look too tacky now a days


"check out the *** on that one" "yeah, he must work out"

 

now that is sweet congrats

 

nice. congrats on da teins. i love mine.. gotta get rid of those swirl marks tho lol...

 

niiiiiiiiiiiice
i wish i had those, how does the ride feel? is it stiff?

 

yea its stiff but it riides real nice around turns. the ride is much better than lowering springs even tho its real stiff.. no bounce bounce to it

 

Nice install.

Are you riding on the Proxes 4 tires ? How do they handle?

WADAD

 

cars lookin good! are your teins stiffer than springs??

 

i road in nextgenerationx's car and hes got the basics and it deff rides a hell of alot nicer than mine does on eibachs....if i only had the money

 

Fixed the spelling. Looks good. Why'd you opt for the basics over the SS? Moulah?

The Tein suspensions are night and day from any spring I've seen, but I haven't been in a Lancer w/ aftermarket shocks to match the springs yet (barring complete dampers). I have my doubts that they could compete with Tein's or JIC's factory matched damper sets, but I have to admit my curiousity. Anyway, glad to see you like the coilovers, and congrats.

 

Easy for you to say. Your car's silver. This crappy paint swirls like a toilet after a few months. At least it looks good when it's cleaned and waxed. Who knew labradors had purple and blue metallic flake?

 

how stiff is it? i hate it when the body leans left or right when i turn and leans forwards, backwards when a accelerate / brake

 

looks good. I know what you mean by hugging the turns now.

 

Nice, glad to see they finally worked on your ES. And no fair, yours have pretty green perches, mine are black You'll love them!

Mine are for sale

 

yeah yeah yeah, i got swirl marks, but im guessin its from all that crappy rain we recently got and not being able to wash my car. its goin in to get detailed though this week some time. but yeah, the paint is soooo cheap on these cars its not even funny.

turning is like a whole nothing world, its really stiff but its gives it that kinda dare i say "sports car" feeling to it which i am loving more and more

the other thing is that when im just cruising down the highway its not such a harsh ride to where my *** is killing me, im really glad i went with a coilover set up

If you would like to see why i chose basic over SS click here

and yes, those would be the proxes4 toyo tires, and they stick much much much better then the proxes1's i had before, those are absolute crap, if your going to buy tires and theyre gonna be toyo's, go proxes 4's

 

sweet i was wondering can it go any lower... also ive done a search about teins for es and damn theres alot post and dont wanna go through reading it... so i wanna wat do u need to get these teins basics on just for the record??
