Does anyone have a picture(s) of a S13 hatchback with KYB shocks and lowering springs? I'm am contemplating whether or not to get some, possibly in the classifieds. Thanks in advance.

it looks like your car but 1-3 inches lower. because the kyb shocks won't change ride height, and different springs lower the car different amounts.

Not with a bumper but I have KYB AGX's on Genuine TEIN springs.

With the bumper mocked up its pretty low.

But without a bumper the radiator core makes it hard to jack up.

But you can see it here as well, and this is before the Limitied Sliphttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v...=user

Pig?, it looks like a super clean car to me. Where I'm from, you have to go three states just to find one with all the same color body panels!

Here is a picture of my hatch with KYB GR2 and skunk 2 lowering springs(1.5" drop F/R) before it was sold.



The ride is very comfortable. Not to low and great for daily driving.

I recently obtained KYB GR-2 Shocks and Eibach Pro-kit springs, and I replace my stock suspensions with them. I took some pictures for comparison.

(excuse me for dirty car since I have been driving in snow)

Below pics are before and after

BEFORE AFTER

Front (1.8 inches drop)



Rear (1.6 inches drop)





there are still a lot of gap between the tires and the fenders, yet the springs and shocks are much better than stock. she doesn't roll as much, and the handling feeling improved much better.
