Umm still thinking... Don't expect toooo much

Kind of being forced to take off F-Sport under chassis brace to dump it... Don't really want to do that though... THinking of asking Tommy to dump it much as possible w.o taking off under brace



Lowered on F-sport springs/shocks. A little lower I asssume

i have the chassis brace and megan springs and hit it at least once a week so if you wanna dump i recommend you remove it unless you want it to get annihilated lol

Lol love the Fed out items. Yeah get it. Totally worth it.



Well sorry guys, I think you guys expected too much. Here are some pics of the installments.

NOTE: NOT FINISHED with project yet!

Front: 1 finger gap, 15mm spacers.
Rear: 1/2 finger gap, no spacers at the moment.

Rubbing here and there.

Feeling of F-sport to JICs.
The F-Sport suspension (shock, Spring) is a good feeling already. Sporty. Well the downside of it is that the JICs are MUCH more quieter than the f-sport. As for stiffness comparison, I haven't tampered with the dampeners with JIC yet but it is a little less stiff than F-sport. The JICs feel a bit more.... springy than stiff. I will update you guys more on how much I can go from sporty to luxury feel with JICs.

Just installed today. AGAIN drop is not that low yet, and still deciding. here are some photos. (not a camera guy )
