nice job man, looks great.

im also in the market for a nice set of full coilovers. I have some slip on coilovers and the ride has gone from uncomfortable to brutal to bone jarring. Hows the basic's ride quality compared to stock? Is it bearable over bumps and cracks? Like if you have a passenger and you hit a bump will they go "HOLY SMOKES"?

and don't you just love drum brakes :roll: ? i just changed my shoes this weekend. god those things are brutal, not to menition utter pos's. heres a good write up for a disc conversion that i found if youre interested. im going to try it myself as soon as i find the parts.

I figure its been said a million times already but you dont even need to compress the stock springs to take the top hat off
just go somewhere and un do it, it will shoot out but its not big deal

I hate those style comps though, i had to put my stock springs back together when i sold my teins when i wreckd my gsr
cool stuff though which teins had the ss on my gsr and they are now on my buddies eg..

The ride is really nice, not much worse than stock. It just has a sportier feel to it. But, I've gotten compliments from passengers saying how much rougher they thought it would be. I've been in a car with the kyb/springs combo and it was nowhere near comparible, that was very harsh compared to my ride.

thanks for the links on the conversion, I'll check that out.

you should really install a camber kit..or bye bye tires...they will be bald pretty fast.
Thanks for the opinion but, it doesn't ring true. The camber isn't off, if it was I'd get a kit. :twisted:

You dont need a camber kit unless you lower it more than, eh, around a inch and a half, not sure how much you lowered it, but with wheels that size it cant be much...
