about 2 weeks ago, me and my friend finally got my suspension done. ( thx to mteele, got the set up from him) fronts took us no time to get the job done, but just went into some problem when working on the rears. but man, hugh difference before and after.i just have to pay more attention on the road, watch out for dip and speed bumps, other than that i m very impress of the ride quaity is still there. big for this set up. hopefully i can get some pics from my friend's camera and post some of them here. and thx for the installation guides that we have here too, made the installation so much faster.

 

Can't wait to see it. Have pics? I'm curious how low it is.

I have the same setup sitting in my room waiting to be installed.

 

This is me with Espelirs / Tokicos on 18s.

 

i have the same setup and i love it, but i sometimes wonder the cost i paid for everything plus labor, i could have gotten coilovers... oh well, enjoy your setup, car looks hot.

 

Drop looks great, i thought it was going to be too low, but that is perfect.

Can't wait, installing them tomorrow!!

 

i like! kilo, you have any more pics? i'd love to see them! same goes for you soarer.

 

what's the offset on the back? the lip on it makes the rim look smaller, it looks nice though!

 

Ahh Espelirs. They ride really nice, I used to have a set on my 93 Soarer. But yes you have to be careful with driving around potholes, road elevations and speedhumps (plus huge driveway ramps) but other than that the ride is near stock.. and the drop looks great!

Good stuff soarer1023.

 

Thats the same setup I was going to throw on. Im glad to know the ride quality is still good. Anybody have any comments on the longetivity of the tokico blues? I've managed to blow threw them in about 6 months on past cars.

 

kilo, nice color combo

here's my before and after on espelirs

 

here's another at mackin industries

 

Howiedoit: Thanks. To tell you the truth, it was pictures of your car that made me want to pickup the Espelirs and gunmetal rims. So THANK YOU.

As for the springs, they lowered car really well and improved handling. However, I find it a little too harsh at times - especially on NYC roads. In hindsight, I should have gone with softer shocks.

 

lookin sweet bro keep it up, did you need a camber kit for the springs? it looks like it was dropped more than an inch, perhaps 2 inches?

 

does anyone know how much this setup costs? including parts + labor.
I am thinking of getting this but would like to know the price first.

 

espelir 240 or 260 depending on where you get it
tokico 220 (i think ebay)
install 200

roughly 660 or so for total


this is a rough calculations of cost and stuff according to my knowledge and what i think i spent, you can always do the labor yourself, but im not too handy.


PS: prices might have changed, as i've got it a year ago.
