    Default My drop and new meshies.

    Alright, well after a lot of work I got my car lowered with some nice MR2 basketweaves. Started the install with my friend Chris and things were going pretty smooth, but then. We ran into some problems on the initial install but my friend Tom helped me out and things went smoothly. Installed Skunk2 ''coilovers'' with 90 Si lca's and the rims. Lately I've also mounted a new bumper with no hole, tinted the corners full amber, and got the nose mask. I also took the red striping off the bumpers and trim. This is perfect height for me to drive to work in downtown, so I can't slam it anymore although I'd like to. I scrape my front flaps most everywhere since they're longer and a little lower. Since the wagon suspension is different than the other models, it will sit a little bit uneven. It's very hard to pull off completely level. The rear is dumped and the front is up about ten threads.

    Before the lowering with my LS rims:



    Dropped with the LS:




    With the new 14's and lca's:
    The fence makes it look pretty low. haha






    Well there ya go guys.

    Love the new wheels on it.

    What color is your car? Cream? Paint that thing white when you take it in.

    It's called Honey Almond Cream. Plan on painting it the same color when I repaint. It's one of the rarest colors on my car. I was going to wait until the MTN run, but there is a chance I might not be able to make it. Who am I kidding anyways? I couldn't hold off! lol

    you had to machine what? the hubs or the wheels? Cause I thought you had to make 4 new holes for the different bolt pattern, I don't/didn't think you could machine into the existing holes.

    No, they were 4x100. The center hub bore was 54mm and needed to be 56mm to fit. Had them bored out .009 and they fit like a glove.

    Ahhhhh I thought that hondas were 4 by 100 and Nissans/Toyotas/Mitus/everyhting else was 4by 113 (and my Mazda is a ****ty, SOOOO uncommon 4 by 110)

    Yea, I have a set of Enkei's right now that are 4x114.3. If my girlfriend gets a 90-93 Accord I will throw them on there, I doubt I'll own a 240 ever. lol

    It was fun to lower a car again without having it be a customer's job, so it was actually fun even though there were a few issues to resolve. I mean a 20 year old car will have a few seized bolts, etc.

    I think the car is looking great man. Like I said originally the Almond Cream color won't suit everyone, but most wagon guys appreciate it when it done cleanly. I think once you get the color-matched bumpers it will look more like what you're wanting it to. Just keep Ragin Bull's (from H-T) in mind and you see what I man.

    To the average guy or passer-by your car (and my grey one for that matter) won't "wow" them, but as long as you love it who cares?

    I love LS meshies - they're my fave OE wheel - but I think the gold Enkei/MR-2s look better and more "period correct" on the car seeing as how Enkei meshies were all the rage in 1988.

    I'm glad the rear LCAs and everything went well. Let me know if you get an axle so I can take about 6 minutes or so to swap it out again.

    Talk to you later bro! I'll be sure to post pics of my MOM'S WAGON after I lower it and put some wheels on it.
