WTF, I thought you were getting gold lines? Can't make up your mind, lol, too funny. This is like the 5th time you changed your mind. You may have problems keeping your camber straight with 18's on those springs cuz it will tuck (I think, that is if those springs give the bigger drop.) You'll be rubbing if you do have your camber corrected though.
i was looking at those tornactive coilovers for 140 bucks. not to shabby. they look just like the GCs and its says its made by a big specialty company that gave tonactive naming rights....hmmmm.....they could be GC's wtih the tornactive name or something close. lol, andy i don't think i'll ever find what i want. i change my mind every freakin day!!!!!![IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/IMG]. i'm just gonna order a rear camber kit with the money i got now so i'll have it for the day i order some srings damnit.......i'm worried about my shocks......how are yalls doing? i know AEM's are blown right? is the ride absolutley unbearable with blow shocks or is it alright? i know its ass to ride on but i'm just wondering cuz if they blow i'd be like a month before i could get new ones.
I've been riding stock struts for almost five months and they aren't blown. I don't drive like a lunatic hitting 50 shots like someone we all know (Todd) cough, cough, lol. Yeah, I drive my car pretty well, so I think they'll last at least 6 months. I plan to get koni's soon anyways though but you should be fine riding stock for at least 4 months I'd say. And coilovers for 140...hmm, that sounds a little too good to be true.... I say go with a 1.75" drop and you'll be happy if you have 18's, that should be the perfect drop with no gap and no tucking or rubbing. Good luck.
Oh, let's all make fun of the boy with the blown struts!!!! [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/IMG]
Fuckin slongs......[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-nono.gif[/IMG]
lol j/k
My struts have been blown for about a year. Of course, my car bounces a bit more than it would if my struts actually functioned. Bottom line is...the lower you drop your car, the more it's gonna bounce, and the faster your struts are gonna blow. It'll bounce a bit more with springs because they're somewhat shorter and stiffer, it'll bounce even more with coilovers because the spring is much smaller and much stiffer. I want to get new struts but I don't feel like spending 5 or 6 hundred dollars......so I'm waiting for a new company to come out with struts for our car and/or lower prices. It's really not THAT bad. Sure, my girlfriend likes to describe it as "riding a rollercoaster", but she also loves to make fun of me for no reason at all. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-nono.gif[/IMG] And it has nothing to do with me driving like a maniac. However, Andy's right about the 50 shot.......as soon as I hit that button the first time, I felt my struts blow. [IMG]i/expressions/moon.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG] lol
