Brandon, where were u on sat? i didnt see any pics/vids of you getting your slide on.
My car didnt come out of the shop on time so i took my brothers gold 240 (S14) but we didnt stay there long cause between noon and 1pm his clutch went out so we had to go home. I think i was the only gold 240 there. Check your PM bud, i might be selling my wheels.

Sorry its dirty. I didnt have any time to clean it today. But here are the pics of the setting im probably gonna run for a little while. Or til it starts rubbing. The fenders are getting rolled on friday so that should help .

Dont mind the ghetto location. I had to take pics behind the Food Lion next to my apartment complex :-/.








Def a big improvement over stock....


*this was June '04, i think the first day w/ the car*

Default Nice pics...

Your TT rims look good with your coilovers (lowering) and the paint!

Dropping the car surprisingly made the wheels look/seem bigger.

Question

PJ,
can you do a more detalied review of these coilovers and what the ride is like? i.e. pro's and cons? I've heard these are way too stiff to use on the street. what are your thoughts? how do they compare to the new Tein CS coilovers?

I second that if PJ is still a member on the forums here after all the time since this post was fresh. Now that a clean year and half (slight more maybe) has passed since the install there are a TON of bits of information about the system and his settings/use and tweaks of the setup that can be imparted to us all.

Please PJ, if your still here give us a history report on these describing your time with this D2 setup. TIA
