wait can we use these bolts they sell in place of the stock ones and be able to adjust the camber more than factory? if so how much more.

[JonathanPrem]

I got a quote for $15CDN/bolt but dont now the adjustment. you want More negative then OEM. I would to but as student tires aren't cheap.

you cant drive over those pesky meridians anymore : /

[Black2003SE]

it's been a while since you did this and i would assume the springs have settled...is it any lower now than when you first did it?....can you still fully turn your steering wheel to either side without any rubbing?

miami, how did you install the rear gas a-just shocks, were they not to long for the coils? I just bought the coils and shocks and am having some trouble installing them.

[miamiheat3332]

alright well if i remember right

i put the bottom part of the shock on the bottom bolt and then i pushed it down and slid it in on the top one, or the other way around where you put it on the top bolt and push it up onto the bottom bolt then put the nut on.

[DoubleDown]

Have you had any problems with the suspension so far?

[miamiheat3332]

no just that if your looking for a comfort ride dont lower it, by all means if the road is good the rides good, if the road is s***, the ride is s***.

[JonathanPrem]

There will be suspension problems if your wheel/rim setup is heavier then oem. I'm lowered and on 22's and my ball joints have so much stress on them that they squeak every time you go over something or even if you shake it But it looks so sexy on 22's

[miamiheat3332]

would it be bad on 20"s cause im getting some soon,

you can get any size rims but as long as it weight the same at oem or little bit more and alex what you talking about?

I think vip style is sexy like pic posted above and yes some time vip gets carried a way. Since your flaming about vip. What about that redneck lifted cars. Those are useless and look 100x worse then vips.

[alexf20c]

earlier in this thread, miami was proclaiming the styling and handling benefits of "VIP styled" cars. he is wrong.

[miamiheat3332]

anyways, i dont think it should be much more, since atm i have the stock rims with the big snow tires, so it shouldnt be too much of a diff.

How long did it take for them to settle in? I installes the front ones today and my friend will do the rear on the week. But i have not noticed any lowering

[miamiheat3332]

Are you sure they are installed correctly? Did you get the right ones?

When i put mine on, it was noticeable immediately. The rear maybe a little less, but thats cause my rear was sagging already.

Well I had changed to kyb struts about a year ago and the struts lowered it a little bit, maybe that is why it isnt so noticeable? :/

By the way, I changed the links also and removed running boards to get extra weight off

I am pretty sure they were installed correctly and they are the ones from 4x4parts. Hopefully by the end of the week the drop would be noticeable...
