That is SWEET!!!! I'm getting the same color xB. I was thinking about gunmetal rims for it. Now I just made up my mind. Nice job bro. I'm going with Tein or Tanabe coilovers though.

i know I have the same prob should I waste my money on springs that I have to resell later or just save and buy coilovers. Dont know we will see.

very nice rake!! I have the same set-up, but mine is level. If I didn't have my speaker box in the back it would look exactly like yours! 8)
Props on a good lower! How does the ride feel?

IMO dont buy the springs i did something like this but with rims and now i dont have the money for the volks at the moment since it all went into my system thats getting done but thats just what happen to me its up to you if you have good cash flow then by all means go for it

itsdchz - thats a nice color never really seen that color in a daytime picture now i think you should debadge it it would look even better that it already is sporting that new drop

DAM IT TEDDY !! I am giving you props on the lower!!! :x I am saying if I didn't have my speaker box that I would have that rake and that I wish I HAD THAT RAKE!!

That is one of the reasons I want to sell my box soon for another set-up! Thats it TEDDY you are buying lunch for the whole shop tomorrow , when you come over!!

thanks for the props and such.

Eibach specifies a 1.6/1.8 drop

I really didnt feel like I wasted money as $160 INSTALLED on these springs was a deciding factor in NOT waiting 2 months for wheel gap to go bye bye.

A speaker box under 150lbs IS NOT going to change the springs in the rear, they arent that saggy...

Ride is GREAT.

NONE of my other vehicles have anything less than Coilovers, so i was skeptical on the ride and handling.

My first VW mk4 had Eibachs and Bilsteins, but the Scion shocks and the Eibachs feel Great! I am impressed with them.

On a side note, I weighed the car this evening, with 1/4 tank of gas 2400lbs on the nose!

Wheels are 18x7.5 with a 42mm offset. I have 5mm spacer all the way around, and may want to get 15mm spacers for just the rear.

The spacers are there solely for looks as I wanted a wider stance and a more square look.

Everything fit fine without the spacers.

Me too - I have some people telling me that its gonna f-up my shocks eventually, and others sayin, "nah, it'll be fine." So, I dunno.

But damn, those pics look sweet! Nice place where u took the pics too! The Eibachs feel good?

The rims are made by Velox.

They are great rims, lightweight and STRONG!

They make 15"-19" applications.

Emotion garage can hook you up, see Mike or Will.

I was going to become a Velox dealer but Emotion Garage's Pricing was UNDER my cost, they definately have the hook ups!

Hey Itsdchz!

were your front springs cut? My Eibachs sit slightly higher in the front.

yours sit nice and even..
If u did not cut them, when were they installed? just wanted to know the settling time.

Thanks

Itsdchz

Not cut, the springs were used and perfectly new, took about 20 miles till they settled down.

01-23-2004, 06:16 PM
good hear that your springs are perfect, no need for cutting anymore i guess

I was looking at my ride height today and noticed that slowly but surely its starting to level out.
