[guffman]

you must have not gotten the memo, this is a totally gay drifter forum



thats bullshit, i tell people this is an all gay drifter forum and you guys yell at me... hypocrisy. tsk tsk

[Camo]

looks decent with those wheels. What are they off of?

[Jakins]

a guy traded me for the black split spokes with the silver lip straight up. they came from a black s14. he says they are way nicer on my car. i like them, it needs to be lower or something though.

[thedrew]

Some spacers and that thing would look straight gangsta. And some coilovers...

[Jakins]

yah. thats pretty much it. it would look totally gangster.

[Jakins]

hey, can i put coil over springs on the struts i have?

not nesiserily like this but maybe a better set that could go on my eibach/kyb struts.

[southsideedge]

everyones flame throwers fueled?

[Camo]

PLEASE dont buy those. If you cant afford coilovers yet then wait. those are absolute junk.

[Jakins]

are there better ones i could get though? and put them on my curent setup. or do i need to get REAL coilovers? what would be a good alternative to lowering my car, like drop spring or something?

[Camo]

your pretty much stuck until you get coilovers. When I bought that car it had cut springs on it and the right front spring kept popping out, it sucked. Keep an eye out if you cant afford new coilovers. You can get a set of used ones, rock em for awhile and then repair 2 at a time. bam, done, new coilovers for a little less and you dont take a major hit in the wallet at one time.

[Jakins]

word. thats probly what im gonna have to do. at least i have a decent set up right now anyways.

[guffman]

dude cutting corners is one thing but cutting springs is a totally different story, a shitty one that leads to a shitty ending where people get flamed so hard their testicles explode in a fury of constant pain and suffering that only Dante knows... from the divine comedy, not some dude who might happen to be named Dante...

[Jakins]

LMAO, ok well id rather get flamed not to do it, rather than get flamed for doing it.

[Camo]

yea, i replaced that shit in a hurry, it was real janky with cut spring

[Jakins]

yah it sounds like it, if the springs where poping out and stuff. do you know what the specs are on the ones i have? like how many inches it drops it from the stock ride height? something like this wouldnt be ghetto right?

[thedrew]

Those really wouldn't make a difference to your ride height, because you already have eibach lowering springs. Just use your mullah for some decent coilovers. 800-1500 is all you need. (its alot of money out of pocket but the best purchase you will make)

[Camo]

its as low as its gonna go without coilovers

[WakeUpCallTX]

FIRST ONE TO GET COILOVERS WINS!..............READY.......GO!


(winner gets a ZJ...if you don't know what a zj is big man...you can't afford it.)
