I don't think they ever get completed, but what I have is good for now.

Tein SS-P coilovers......



Megan Racing chassis brace, I have removed much of the cups after this photo was taken.



Hotchkis Tuning front strut tower brace..



Enkei EM7 alloy wheels, a little lighter than the steelies, photo taken before coilovers installed.



And a Progress rear sway bar.

Here is the final? setup...

 

NICE!

 

what does the chassis brace for?

 

It braces the chassis.

 

Fantastic.

 

You gotta love the way it handles now. Thats a great setup.

 

I do! It rides as nice as the factory springs, but it takes the curves with almost no leaning. When I come home at night I take the exit ramp at by my house at 40mph almost everytime. Before it felt a little scary, now it feels just fine.

 

how much did you lower it with the coil overs?

 

I only lowered it about 1 inch so far, I need to see how it crosses over the speed bumps I have to deal with. So far , no problems so I probably will drop it some more.

 

great thats almost the same thing im doing

i just got my springs and strut bar in the mail (thanks ups)
im going with megan springs , kyb gr2 frnt struts and rear shocks , megan h brace , energy end links , no need for new sway bars as the springs are stiff enough to handle the job and il be getting some nice street tires and hopefully a ny-trex n20 30 shoot dry kit but that will take a while or atleast tax season LOL

 

so did you do the install your self? im planing on doing my own install but im gona wait till i have all my parts in (it probably 1-2 months as im low on funds right now) if you did do the install your self what was the time frame and how hard did you find the work to be? oh and how much beer do you need to complete the job

 

YYYEEEAAAHHH! look what just got here! tuunn tuunn tuunn....

alright now its just my megan h brace and my gr2 struts and im done with the suspension i already have poly endlinks no need for new sway bars springs are stiff enough to handle the job ( well thats what im hopeing for LOL ) well peeps hopefully il order my brace , struts , and if im lucky a ny-trex 30 shot kit

 

Nice setup Gardiner . love the tein coils

 

I had some guys help me at a tech day, it took a couple of hours. It is amazing how easy it was to put coil overs on the front! Lift car, take off wheel, loosen brake line, loosen two bolts below and three up top and swing out the strut!

The rear was pretty easy also.
