they look pretty sharp, but my latest addiction is the 18" e55 wheels!

Mah maaan!!! great job!!!!

By the way I think it needs to be lowered now, maybe some H&R's or Eibach's or some "Sport" or "Esprit" if you dont want to blow your money that much. Guys?

[Proven Guilty]

i would go eibach and koni externally adjustables on #2 pads all around if cash isin't a problem

the value route, i dig the drop from vogtland springs with billstein sport shocks. the vogtland drop pretty hard in the back, so its usually best to run a #4 pad at minimum and maybe even a #1 stacked with it to make a #5, but safe to run #1 or #2 up front

werd, i just trimmed my front vogtlands at work today, 1/4 coil up front, #1s all around. Should have gone a full 1/2 coil.

[lewda]

wait, RMAN? did you cut 1/4 inch off? or 1/4 off of one coil itself? sorry for the stupid question...and also, will just a 1/4 of the whole coil is thats what you did, actually lower it a bit more?

[rman]

lewda - i cut 1/4 coils off....gave me a bit less than 1/2" drop (haven't measured yet).

I guess I answered both questions there...i would have like to get another 1/4"....I should have cut 1/2 coil and used pads if it was too low.


Powerslave - sorry to hijack the thread. But you can see all the different options you have for lowering your car!
Definitely compliment your new rollers!

Hot hot hot!

[rman]

just a tip if you are lowering it yourself:

i find it MUCH easier to drop the tie rod, upper ball joint, and shock to access the spring than to drop the lower control arm off the frame.

there are a bunch of threads about doing it yourself, if you need further clarification. I just did this yesterday and it went 10x faster. I also had it on a lift this time rather than sitting on the floor.

Yeeeeahhh...! Looks very nice and clean, Great job! Good thing you posted pics as well! I like your rims, you dont see many 202s with those, I think they are c55 replicas, right? Love the suspension setup as well.
