Got my extended studs on, well, at least just on the back.
I just couldn't figure out how to take off the front hubs.
Put the new wheels on, lowered it as low as my coils would go.
Took her to the car wash tonight.

Yeah, thats second on my list after a paint job. Its on FF type 1s but the wagon just starts off so damn high. New setup will be Koni Ground control sleeves and extended top hats. That should get the job done

also, Idk if you swapped to regular rear ef forks but thats about a 1-2 in drop alone. I love the turbos man!
The front forks? I dont think that works, my front fork passenger side fork is off a hatch and its the exact same size as my driver side fork

yup, rears. The wagon rears are definitely longer. except you said you have FF1's so you probably have the standard forks already cause I dont think they made specific coilovers for a wagon and it wouldnt make since for them to have longer forks so disregard what I said completely lol

Just ordered some new coils. What you may ask? Well I probably shouldnt have, but i ordered a set of Rokkor Coilovers which are basically Raceland coilovers rebranded. So many mixed reviews on them, so i just bit the bullet and went for it. The car is my daily so its pretty useless for me to spend lots of money on expensive coilovers. Plus, they offer a 3 year warranty so I figured why not.

Heres a picture of what they should look like

I didnt sell the FF's, there blown, really blown. I was trying to find a cheap coil setup being that i dd the car and drive 700 miles a week. The Rokkors fit the price i was looking to spend, but of course, they didnt fit. Put them on and that s**t was a lift kit lol The top hat was literally sitting on the bumpstop and it was still 3in higher then my FF's maxed out. So i mailed them back, and i just got in today my new Godspeed rs coils. 16 way dampening, should go low as well, and all for 550 shipped!

Heres the rokkors lowered all the way down lol


Both are lowered all the way down


Heres one of the new Godspeeds!
