    Installed some new toys

    so i thought i would share what i did this last weekend. i finally installed the mmr coilovers and lakewood 90/10's that i got from gene. along with those i added a set of mm caster camber plates. shot a few pictures of the fun, and thought i would share!






    the left overs....even disconnected the sway bar...time for some suspension travel!!













    so purdy!!!

    not suprisingly, it picks up like crazy, and holds traction very well. it does kinda feel like a cadillac going around corners, and its rather squishy (sorry could not come up with a better term), i think i will probably hook the sway bar up for the street, but otherwise, not too bad. just gotta get use to the front end stayin up a little longer. definetly not the setup for taking sharp turns. lol.

    Are the coilovers adjustable?

    Drag set up, corner carver set up or compromise. None of the three works perfectly for everything. We all have to set up our cars according to our own needs. Lowering the car is one of the few items that will help both acceleration and cornering. It's a good mod.

    Nice write up and pics.

    believe they are 175....gene can correct me if i am wrong.

    and totally agreed, in my mind it either drag car or corner carver. i know there can be a nice blend of both, but i am more inclined to drag race, since i believe i lack the co-ordination to road course race.

    How tall are those springs? 14"

    Have any issues of bottom the struts or the springs on bumps?

    Mine only bottoms out the springs if there a bump on a turn.
