My Finished Product

I just installed these JIC coilovers an hour ago at my buddy's garage... and it looks and drives pretty sweet.. very happy with the finished product. Now I get to play with the dampening and the height a bit to get the perfect ride. All I can say is that it hugs the corners well.. feels like a train on railroad tracks. Went over a few speed bumps like how I would normally and surprisingly it cleared well.. even while going down the ramp in my underground parking. Cant wait to add the bodykit, custom paint the wheels, and the rsr exhaust sounds real agressive.

Thanks for the comments guys... because I had to drop my rear so low I had to remove the eibach 25mm hub centric spacers, gotta make sacrifices to make things work sometimes (sighs). Keep in mind I have a pair up for grabs if you know anyone who is interested.

oh yea I most def have to raise it back up about 1/1.5 inches. I was actually thinking about getting the k2 style front bumper with the carbon fibre grill and carbon fibre splitter. Didn't you buy your bumper off eric as well?

Sweet upgrade bro, the car looks crazy low! Like fender rubbing low but looks sick. Good job, with the new coils how long does it take to adjust your ride height now?

Yes, I bought my GTR front, KENSTYLE rear, IMPULSE SIDES and INVEN front from Eric. Been very satisfied with the lineup so far.

K2 looks great on that color, really brings out thecurves on the lower side areas

Thats right... coilovers are the best bid for your situation, depending on the brand you would be able to raise it back to stock. I think I saw a set of bc racing br series coilover (used) on kijiji today for 600 you should check that out!

Nuff Respect Red.. it actually takes about 45 mins now to get all tires off and make the adjustments.
