So tomorrow is my last day of school for the semester and I just got my financial aid check a couple of weeks ago so I decided to buy some new suspension goodies

gtfactory, powered by max, part shop max, max part shop max or w/e its called:

cool

thats me... and my dingy

3" from frame rails all around

geh

I must say I'm a little disappointed w/ pbm. I'm maxed out w/ both collars removed up front and I still want to go lower. Rears are good with plenty of thread left though.

These are the first and only coilovers I've ridden/driven in and I'm simply in love with them<3 way better than the rsr/agx's I had. 10/8 spring rates feel great and I dont know why everyone complains about it. I dont think they're "too stiff" at all.

that's all

You can practically have your car sitting on the frame rails if you wanted

By flipping the front brackets on the coilovers, you get a lot of extra drop

that's slammed! well, I've seen lower though. the height should lower a little once the springs settle in few weeks time.

With those coilovers you should be able to frame your car. s***, with my JIC's I'm tucking 17's with the mounts regular and all collars intact.

Dang, I don't think I will get to spend next semsters financial aid money on my build like you did. Looks sweet so far. Just wondering if anybody knows if the intercooler they sell if they have on for the s13? Seems like a good deal $380 with piping..
