Grump Yeah. I have all rings removed all around. The fronts are maxed but the rears gave about 3-4 treads left. My exhaust sits about an inch and a half from the ground. I'll take a pic when I can. I'm in class right now.

 

Been creepin on this thread for a while, your car has come pretty far and is looking pretty good!
Would you guys recommend Rokkor coilovers?
I live in a fairly bumpy area, I guess, but im not looking to max them out. just make the wheel barely flush with the fender.
Also, I'm not looking into racing the car on a track, so I dont need that kind of performance. Mainly looking for a drop and slight improvement in handling/getting rid of body roll.

 

car is going to look more better once you drop it more. Did you buy those rotas of Socal?

 

@grumpy this is my rear with 3 to 4 treads left with only one perch ring on each side. the exhaust sits about an inch and a half to 2 inches from the ground. before i lowered it, i put like a chain from the middle hook on the exhaust piping and connected it to my car cuz the tip was sitting way to close to the bumper and was melting it. so, that might have raised the exhaust up a lil bit. ill pm u a pic of the chain under my car. im not too proud of it, so i dont wanna post it here. haha


@ethan yeah, i would recomend raceland/rokkor. theyre a pretty good ride for the price. obviously, the lower you go, the bouncier it will be due to less shock travel. so if ur not looking to slam it, it shouldnt be that bouncy at all.

@wild, yeah bought them from him. gave him a deposit yesterday, and im giving him the rest on sat so i can put them on my car.

 

I would most def recommend rokkors. since you dont plan on doing any hard driving or performance reasons.



ahahah i know what you mean i had rope before when i slammed it all the way, chain was a smarter idea than me.

 

should look good on your car. You staying with the same color or changing it up? were in torrance do you live? im up in harbor city off PCH.

 

I was thinking about painting them bronze like the tenzos, but I might just keep em whit for now. And I live on carson st. Off of Vermont. In the condos right in front f the harbor ucla hospital. Ull prolly see me. I drive around quite often. If u do, flag me down. Haha. Where off of pch do u live?

 

gold or even a dark color will lood good on the car. I think ive seen you drive down PCH a couple of types you live in Harbor village near the taco truck. hahaha. Yeah i live on president near the Panda express.

 

this car has AIDs.....just saying......looking good broski keep up the good work

 

Yeah. Haha. I have a friend that lives on president off of pch. And my ex lives over in pensylvania off of pch. So I don't doubt u've seen me. I used to go over that area a lot. Btw, my first set of rims were black konig runways. I'm not a big fan of dark colored rims. That's why I got rid if them. Haha

Aids my ___. Hahaha

 

true story don't lie to them about your car

 

Okay fine. The daewoo forgot to wear a condom

 

lulz....get them white wheels asap

 

I guess I'm not the only one who can't wait for this sat to get my rims on. Haha

 

i should be set right?

 

That bolt on the rear bumper is just waiting to do some damage. Been lurking this thread, looking forward to the new wheel setup.

 

yeah, im planning on shaving that part of the bumper. i have to work on my rolled fender problem first. if u look closely, u can see i sanded part of the fender down. then ima primer it, and paint it.

 

loooks like my whip did when you first installed mine haha dope maynee

 

Another quick question for you.. Assuming you go over speed bumps as low as you are, how often do you scrape up your lip/back/exhaust?

 

lip= 88% of the time
back(assuming rear bumper)= rarely
exhaust=like 75% of the time.

i scrape on the exhaust piping more than the actual exhaust tho. cuz my hks hangs super low. as you can see in the picture above. when going on super small speedbumps, idk why, but the fronts are super bouncy compaired to the rears. on HUUUGE speedbumps, like the ones on my school, the ones that u actually have to go sideways on, i scrape on the bottom of the car and not the lip or the exhaust.

just be careful driving out of super steep driveways tho. ive gotten stuck twice already where my wheels were just spinning. i had to reverse to get out of it, and exit the parking lot another way.
