Coils and RUCAS just arrived!!!

[mrgreeneyes]

For now, a cheesy cam phone pic. i will later upload pre-coil and post-coil pics of the car.

Coils are ksport pro's and RUCAS are Intense Motorsport brand. (NICO sponsor with a killer group buy)

UPDATE: driver side done. rear is a little lower than i thought it would be but maybe its just because ive been rocking 17 yr old suspension and thats what im used to looking at. Now for a snack break, then back to do the pass side. and yes, im slow doing this, but this is my first time doing coils.

you do know you can adjust the height right?

[yokota180sx]

SHhhhhhhhhhhh

dont tell himhe obviously didnt do his reasearch in the first place, after all he bought ksport

[mrgreeneyes]

actually, yes i do know height is adjustable but i needed to get the car sitting on the ground to determine what height i needed.

yokota, im aware you dont like ksport. i dont care what you think, to be honest. this is my daily driver, not some hardcore track slut. i bought what i bought because i have a budget and these fit my needs.

im aware that ksports are not baller status. i dont care. its better than struts/springs IMO and i have no regrets.

ive also readjusted the rear today to give me a two finger fender gap front and rear. i like the look and ride thus far. preach at me all you want, i like em yokota. please dont me

no dude, your getting it all wrong

its not about being baller track status ****its baout the fact they are a horrible ride, horrible spring/valving match

im speaking purely on technical terms

not personal

[mrgreeneyes]

i know what youre saying man and im sorry i got kinda defensive about it.

id love to be able to afford silkroad/etc, but for me, this was my best compromise of suspension/$. I am aware that the valving and and springs arent perfect, but i dont require perfect, just a comfortable ride on my daily jaunts.

someday i will purchase a really nice set of coils, but for now, this will do. thank you for your input/concern/opinions. i like your taste in vehicles and what you say does make sense.

[yokota180sx]

mod it right

mod it twice

save up and dont be a *****

[mrgreeneyes]

ok, cool. thanks.

[positron1]

Did you get everything installed yet?

[mrgreeneyes]

yes i did. i have it all adjusted to my taste now and am going to get it aligned in the next day or so.

[positron1]

Sweet! How's the ride?

[zenkii]

Here some FYI, even though i don't know much about intense motorsports RUCA, be sure to check up on them RUCA every other month...i'm telling you this because i got some megan RUCA and they are showing some rust on the bolts... anyways post them pictures!!!

[mrgreeneyes]

thanks for the heads up. i knew about the megans doing that but to be honest, i only need these to last me til next summer at the most. for the $110 i paid for them, meh, screw em. they are functional.

before and after pics will be up shortly, after i get the camera back from my friend.

yokota was right in his review of the coils, the *** end is bouncy on rough roads. the valving is not ideal, no. live and learn. but overall, i drive on nicely paved roads and this is my DD so no crazy cornering or w/e on my way to work and back. for that purpose, these are great.

when i decide what route i want to take with my 240 build up, i will most likely get some nicer coils but for the price right now, meh, not too worried. body roll is greatly reduced. thats nice

[yokota180sx]

maybe people will realize i know wtf im talking about now
