Installed B+G's today! *pics*

Hey guys, took my car to TDC tuning in hookset. Awsome place...took a little over 1 hour. I absoluty love my coilovers, very smooth and you can only really tell that they are aftermarket when you hit some of the bigger bumps. I couldent really check out that handeling becuse it raining pretty bad.

I need to drop the front more becuse the back is almost tucking.

NICE!
The floor of your garage is dirty...but i'm guessing it's because your driveway isn't paved and you said it was raining.

kool, get the kit and go get an alignment asap. when you replace the suspension, not only is camber off, but so is the front toe. with the front toe off, its going to rip your tires to shreds in about 4 or 500 miles. trust me.

hell yes!!!!!

a word of advice: try to estimate the height before installing them. they are a bitch to adjust once they are on. btw, about one inch of threads showing from the bottom gives you a ~ 2.75 drop.

Ok, when I was driving my car the steering feels a little diffrent. You know when ur in a slight turn and you let go of the wheel, it kinda jumps back to center. Now it ever so slightely wants to stay where it is. When im in a bigger turn and i let go of the wheel it wants to jump back to normal. Is this becuse my camber and toe is off since i dropped it?


Thanks

Sounds like your toe is out and the front tires are snowplowing. if you have stock tires on, you can take a sharp turn at 40 and you should hear a lot of tire squeel. if so, its your toe. if your using street performance tires, you wont hear it due to the compounds - but still, get an alignment asap.
