Pics after lowering plus system

Finally had time to take some pics of the car. Too bad I forgot to take pics before the lowering. Let me know what you guys think.

Now I need some wider rims.

What kind of lowering kit did you use? I have a liquid platinum coupe (06) and have been dying to see what it looks like lowered. I've been wanting to do this for a while now. Excellent work. Great looking automobile!

Thanks.

I used the JIC FLT-A2 coilover kit. I have actually raised the car about 0.5" but didn't have time to take new pics. I'll take some soon so you can see how it would look a little higher. I was scraping on some speed bumps so I had no choice but to raise it.

Nice, I think taking the car up 1/2" actually would look better. Looking forward to some more pics at present height and when you get the new wheels.

Car looks great like the sound system setup

How long approximately take you to lower or increase your ride height? Just curious

Installer was KHF. I know some peeps have issues with them, but for my installs they have worked out great.

RBull, before I raised it, I totally agreed with you, but now after raising it, the front is a little too high but the rear is perfect. So, I will need to lower the front maybe 1/4".

Actually, it doesn't take that long for the fronts, the rears take a little more time but in total about an hour and a half for me.


As for rims......it's way too late to get them now, since the temperatures have been getting low. But I guess I might as well ask, at the moment I'm leaning towards two but I got plenty of time to decide since I'll probably get them spring next year. The two I'm contemplating are the RacingHart C4 or C4-R and the Volk SF-Challenges, let me know what you guys think.

I can see that. What I saw from the pics is the rear appears to be very squat and the tire face has less showing than the front. It sounds like you have it nicely dialed in now.

RBull, you're definitely right. The back was a little too low but I didn't realize the front was good enough. But yeah, when I drop the front the slight bit, I should be exactly where I want it. Man, it's not easy trying to perfect the drop to your own liking, especially for stubborn people like me, hahaha.
