firesquare is now and forever lowered



TEIN S-techs, Sportmax 501's and 195/50 15" Falken Ziex 512's

sorry about the cell phone pic, once i put batteries in my camera, ill post more pics when its clean. Install was super easy by "studying" the tech page. no problems so far since i put them in while i was at work. rears are a cake walk. the fronts weren't too bad but its all good. ride is a little bit softer so i noticed right away. love the way it looks.

thanks SL!

Now I got to do mine, I look like a SUV

its not too hard. i just gotta get my own air compressor. i have air tools at the house. my jack stands went missing somewhere in my house. :-(

Nice choice going with the silver wheels. Remember to re-check the upper front center strut bolts. They sometimes come loose after the first couple hundred miles. Nice classic look!
BTW, did you add the rear spacers to match the fronts?

firesquare

yeah the OTG are on also. better pics come saturday or sunday

i heard a few clanks here and there. will check the strut mounts in a week or so. how long should i wait for an alignment? tires are a tad nosier then they were...

bB2NER

You could have the alignment checked but it shouldn't need one unless it starts pulling. I've swaped springs multiple times and have yet needed one.
If you are hearing clunks up front they are not tight enough. I had to add a second nut to keep mine tight. It will ruin the strut bearings if left alone. They literally get hammered to death.

firesquare

i only hear it not ooo often. ill tighten tomorrow morning then check it again next week.

so any ideas for strut tower bars???? does TEIN make any? maybe keep a theme going :-P

bB2NER

Not sure if Tein makes strut bars. I like my DC CS-2 one tho. Also have you thought about getting the progress rear bar. It will make a HUGH difference in handling.

Can't wait for the bigger pics cause I always wondered how my BCP would look on those wheels and now I know. Keep it up.

the the funny reason why i chose silver 501's was because i was looking at my bB wheel covers (phone dial) and said they look awesome silver and clean so i went with the silver and that was my choice.

NC box lives down the road from me and he has them black. they look good too but too many cars have black wheels in town. plus BCP and silver wheels look good anyways :-)

i have other pictures of the car not lowered but thats for another thread.

bB2NER

Exactly right on the wheels. I like the way the silver contrasts the BCP. I'm sick to death of black/polished lip wheels on every tuner car I see.

firesquare

here is sort of a good pic with the test fit of my flares. the silver looks good here. of course better pics in the next coming days. its only Monday :-P

burstaneurysm

Looking good man.

bB2NER

No comment on the flairs unless you plan them to be BCP.

firesquare

they have been painted but are sitting at a body shop. im waiting for the guy to give them to me but he painted them wrong a while back. 3Q2 instead of 3P2. Moron. so wait i still do and its been 2 months. im raiging hell tomorrow. i better have them by friday

bB2NER

Agreed. what a doofus?

burstaneurysm

I really like the 501's Those might be replacing my TRDs next season.

bB2NER

X2 those exact wheels would go great on your camo toaster Ian!

JoMac

Lookin' good! I'm debating between those and the axis oldskools.
