Edafe those are an interesting rear design but i like em they look badass. Only can't go as wide with the true coil rear, bust still siiiick.
yeah the rears are a crazy design. I remember when I opened the box I was like, "That's different" But you know what it works,, Instead of having the dampening adjustments at the top of the rear struts, its at the bottom so there is no need for extended adjustment levels, or you don't have to remove your strut to change dampening.. Really like that.. And they just shorten the rear another 30mm so it is perfect..

ah nah it's all good bro no need to change anything, if you say they ride dope then it's perfect. I was just wondering if us coupes had to do anything slightly different than you Z guys because of the weight difference. I guess I can go a few levels stiffer on the coils, and maybe have the drivers side slightly higher since I'm around 200 lbs I weigh the right side of the car half an inch...
and I want little body roll as possible when takin corners so I'm gonna be ordering a set of swaybars as well very soon.

VIP Modulars I think. I'm looking for them myself. Good luck finding them. It's taken me about 3 months just to find decent pics of the car. I had to google Wekfest (which I didn't know. just happens someone saw this at Wekfest last year), then find the blog for the company that made the suspension setup and widened the rear for that car, THEN search thru 6 or 7 pages just to get to that. You can start with Platinum VIP 300C or Phantomsuspensions.com. That's the only way I can find anything on this car. IT's a freaking ghost or I'm just a noob on the internet. lol.

^^^^^^wheel setup on that 300. I'm gonna try to get the name of these. I know I can't afford them, but damnet, that's what credit is for.

a guy named Jake USED to own it. Right now, it's sitting in Japan (last I heard) not being photographed apparently. phantomsuspensions.com is where I got the 1st two pics. It's a rare find my friend. Outside of the 15" wheels, it's the setup I'm saving up to mimic.

That's how it should be IMO. That's how the HKS Hypermax III and Impul Ohlins I had were. With wheels that have a nice amount of gap in the mesh, you could easily stick your hand between the gaps and adjust without having to take off the wheel.

Oh, Hotel, your car has come a long way and it is STILL one of the nicest black coupes I've seen.

what are you talking about that is almost identical minus the curvature... :-(

so maybe a custom setup from vipmodular? since they are pretty close with them

the center cap seems to be pretty identical
