Well, I re-did my suspension last weekend. Got rid of my Skunk2 lowering springs, on stock (blown) shocks. I now have KYB AGX struts, Ground Control coilovers, Eibach camber kit, and Function7 LCA's. Man, what a difference in ride quality! It's like a whole new car... I figured before I start dumping money under the hood, I should get my suspension out of the way first. Well enough talking, here's the pics:

EDIT: New rear tires are coming this weekend... I know they're shot, you don't have to tell me...

EDIT2: I'm waiting on my check so I can order some extended endlinks, to use my stock rear sway bar with the new LCA's. The old endlinks on the sway bar weren't long enough to make it through the LCA's, and still have room to thread the nut on. Anyone else have this problem?

 

sweet, looks good man, i might go with this setup when my stock shocks on s-techs goes out

 

I would definitely recommend this setup! Even as low as it is, with the shocks on almost the stiffest setting, it rides AWESOME! I really like the LCA's too; they're really beefy, and they come with Energy Suspension bushings. Not too expensive either, I think they were like 200$ including shipping. You guys ever hear of them? They're made by Function7

EDIT: Here's a better pic of the coilovers.

 

looks like the pipes stick alittle low...

car looks good. i love the si wheels! do you have any pics of the rear at a angle? im trying to see how the sit in the rear around the arches.

 

Thanks man! I noticed that with the pipe hanging a little low, should I get another exhaust hanger put on or something? My muffler already almost touches my rear lip, though... But how do you want the pic, like looking downwards on the rear wheel? I'll take one tomorrow.

 

have we heard of function7? lol, it's one of the largest distributors of high quality and finely engineered aftermarket parts. Been around for a long time, the older function7 lcas used to have bushing problems though, but the newer units have been fixed as far as I know.

 

I am inspired by the makeover of your car .I will do the same for my car .

 

when I did my suspension I was debating skunk2 lca's or function7. Went with skunk2 because at the time they were close to $50 cheaper online and I figured why not just have matching suspension parts(skunk2 front camber/skunk2 rear camber)

I love the shocks, but I keep mine around a mid setting.

 

Wow, I am an idiot! I didn't realize they were that large of a company...

Thanks!

With my ride height set as low as it is, If the shocks are on any softer of a setting, it will bottom out a lot worse than it does right now.

 

does it rub around turns? Mine did initially because of no rear sway, but when I installed one it kept the car even on corners.
