Well I finally got tires mounted and my coilovers put on! I still need toe rods and an alignmentbut that will come shortly... knock on wood... Any how... here are camera phone pics (^_^)
Got to use a lift at Goodyear (^_^)
Lowered the lift all the way down but still had to jack the car off of it... it was too low... hehe

Very nice drop and good choice with the coils . I haven't decided which brand coilovers to get yet, but Stance is on my list of possible choices.
Re: (drunkNun)
Haha thanks man. Your 240 looks clean. I just moved to Tennessee from Detroit about two years ago for tech. Most of the drift events in Tennessee are at the Nashville Super Speedway, Clarksville Speedway, and Memphis Motorsports Park. haha I didn't even notice my post count. Any how we should meet up some time.drunkNun wrote:I think i just made a new friend....and he doesnt even know it yet. I love the progress so far.....TENNESSEE FTMFW!

Thanks man. So far I love the stances. I have them on full soft for the street and they ride great. If there are big bumps or wavy pavement then it can be a bit rough but its really not bad. When I take turns... well lets put it this way... I don't know what body roll is anymore lol. I haven't gotten to test the handling of them yet just because I am waiting for toe rods and an alignment. But I will post how they do.nacho_240 wrote:Very nice drop and good choice with the coils .

Went for a drive today to test out the coil overs and tires. I had the coils on full soft and was just kinda taking it easy and man they are amazing. We got to the end of a certain road and pulled over to take pics and chill for a bit and when we got out my tires were steaming. This set up has completely surpased my expectations and it blows me away that once I get toe rods and traction rods an alignment, sway bars and breaks that its only going to get better. The car feels very neutral now and I love it.
any how here are some pics

Re: Project slow (ViperSRT10)
What are the differences with your coilovers vs your old setup on everyday driving and the track besides the height? I have the same springs your selling, my shocks are crapped out; so i'm contemplating the next step. Clean car btw!
Well, daily driving on full soft is a lot stiffer than the tokikos. There is no body roll and bumps can be rough if they are big, but that will happen w/ any coilover. Now as far as track, handling is leaps and bounds better than the struts. It blew my mind at first and makes the car so much more neutral. These mixed with good tires can provide a whole new driving experience. I currently have Federal SS595s on my car and love them. The handling benefits, especially living in a place with amazing back roads, well over-weigh the harsher ride.
Re: (ViperSRT10)
Well your build is badass your car is my backround, all i can say is great work and i will be looking forward to more of your post
