Re: 5Zigen20" Hyper 5Zr's

dj,
bro that is the tightest G coupe I've seen so far.
can't believe those are 20s...whew...sickness!!!
the G's come with coil overs in the front, did you
manually lower the front by adjusting the coil overs?
or did you just switch to Eibach springs?
do you know how hard it would be to lower the front by just using the coil overs?..i noticed no one has used this method yet.
also, did you have to use spacers at all for your wheels?
how much are a set of those?
i'm debating right now whether to go with 19 in front and 20 in back. i'm just afraid 20s all around would be too big and affect performance too much..what are your thoughts?

Re: 5Zigen20" Hyper 5Zr's

Gwhzz thanks for the compliments!

The stock front springs are coilovers, however, they are not height adjustable. In order to adjust the height you need a damper set up like those found on the Tein system. I'm actually getting those test fitted to my car right now and should have my car back by Thursday night. So if you want an inexpensive method of lowering you could purchase Eibach springs but this wears your stock shocks out quicker too.

I did not have to use spacers, so long as you get the correct offset there shouldn't be any need for spacers. 20's will definitely affect performance. However, I just don't feel 19's fill the wheel gaps enough. I got the 5ZR's as a sponsorship, so I'm not sure how much they retail.

DJ,
Your offsets that you posted: +25 on the front and +38 on the back. would this be true of all 20 " rims or just on the Zigens?

20x9 will fit in the front, I was originally getting that size with the Axis Mod Seven.

The ride is okay with the 20's it has more rode noise on the freeway, however.
