While at the Formula D show on Satuday August 6th it became painfully apparent to my just how high my car was sitting. There is nothing like being parked between two other Silverstones who are both lowered and being at stock ride hight.
The following Monday I ordered up some springs. I got them on Thursday and (with help from several local owners) installed them on Saturday. One week after the show.
The car was FILTHY the day of install, it rained in the morning, and i was driving in it.
Stock Ride Height:
After install and before the springs had a chance to settle:
(Ok, so this was with the springs on and the car still on jack stands. )
Here they are after a chance to settle a little:
Even the front looks more aggressive lower to the ground.
I have a LOT of negative camber now. I am going to wait another week or so before I get it aligned (because I don't drive it very much to help settle the springs.)
I have plans for wheels, but need to finish burning through the stock tires first. Should last me the rest of the year, so sometime between storage and spring I'll get new wheels and tires.
I haven't seen any lips that I like. I am considering the full INGS kit though.
I plan to run the Espeliers on the stock shocks until they blow out, then move up to coil-overs.
