[twkg]

[R3RUN]

Yea workin on gettin that camber issue fixed.

[3kgtdrvr]

damn that looks good. how much of a drop was that?

[Crazy Asian]

Rims...

[JDMBeau]

awesome man. FINALLY SOME LOWERED fif GENS!!! lol

hows it ride?

[JDMBeau]

oh and should have put the rimps on the right way lol

i think we need to go for a 5th gen photoshoot one night i can think of about 8 or 9 clean ones arond

[2.2L]

yeah i tried asking the place where i got the tires to do it right to do it but they wont for some reason so if somebody has a tire mounter i can borrow or something i would get them right.

as for the rides its harsh because its over a 2 inch drop on each side and i bottom out where i would normally wouldnt but i can take turns like crazy.

anyways quick question i got tokico illuminas and skunk2 springs(reason to why its so fucking low) anyways on the illuminas its adjustible but which number is more softer? i currently have the settings on 5 but wondering if i would bottom out less on 1 or should i get it to 3 so it would balance out ride quality and harshness

[JDMBeau]

you are gonna bottom out reguardless. chances are it dosnt have bumpstops. take your factory struts apart, and cut the bumpstop in half and put em on your skunk2

[justwongit]

wsup bj isnt that james' lude?

[Repost Squintz]

it's usually a trial and error on adjustable shocks, to see how you like it. just adjust it one way, until you think you're satisfied.

[CHADbee]

you are gonna bottom out reguardless. chances are it dosnt have bumpstops. take your factory struts apart, and cut the bumpstop in half and put em on your skunk2

what he said^ u need to still use the bumpstops!!! just cut them in half. i know that alot of bullshit cause u gotta do everything over again but u really need'em dude.

[Nemesis]

Shoulda just heated your springs and run with no shocks. Thats how I roll in mY DA

[Repost Squintz]

^lol

[2.2L]

what part of the shocks and springs of the stock parts are "bumpstops"? those shocks are second hand so they might have them but i never heard of bumpstops sorry but can someone show me pictures of that u should cut in half and put on?

[twkg]

theyre on your factory shocks. it looks kinda like an orangish yellow foam piece.

beau, im down for a photo shoot somewhere, but i gotta tell ya that im strippin the wheels.

[nogirlsatgt]

Maybe I missed it, but what springs?

[R3RUN]

wsup bj isnt that james' lude?
Sure is.

The springs are Skunk2.

[OaTmeaL]

What no love for 3rd gens?

[R3RUN]

3rd gens look awesome. I have love for 3rd gens, lol.

[tack311]

bump for my old stuff looks good

[EmminoDaGreat]

damn 4.5 hours that is a long time....

[JDMBeau]

^ i was thinking that emmino

but i remember the first time i did springs like 4 hours lol

anyways ya its the foam looking thing. i say we do a 5th gen shoot, no hating for the 3rd or 4th's but i love shoots of all the same car

[R3RUN]

Yea neither of us have ever done anything like that before so it took a while. Most of the time was caused by the fact we didnt want to mess with taking the brakes off.

[Z33_kid]

getting slammd nice

[Crazy Asian]

I wish I can get slammed but the damn lip kit is gonna drag. Blah

[JDMBeau]

[Nippon]

[Jehu]

if you wanna come to the boonies then ya can...or i can mount it on stephens 3rd gen see how it lines up.Doesn't Stephen's lude have a lip on it already? I might come that way sometime to have a look-see. PM me a price that you'd want for it though! ;)

Austin, I like your sig! ;) Is it something about not going off the mountain?

[R3RUN]

you had to take the brakes off? :confused:

no but it would have made the job a shit ton easier.

[twkg]

yeah probably would have. the rear is the biggest bastard to deal with. that's what took me forever.

[R3RUN]

Same with us. The front took like 10% of the time the back took.
