Finally lowered my car PICS INSIDE

[DSMSpyder99]

First gotta give a big shout out to Noel, Beau, and William for helping me out. And andy for letting me do it in his backyard

The car is lowered with Tein Basic Coilovers. They are pretty stiff 9kg/mm in the front and 6kg/mm in the back. Wheels are ASA AR1 17x8 35mm offset and 225/45/17 ESCTA SPTs. I have no rubbing and no need for fender rolling

Here is a close up of the actual drop (post #8)

While I'm gonna miss the previous look, these coilovers complete the look of your car. It definitely looks 10x sexier now. It was pretty fun putting em in at Andys, except for the fact it was like 105 degrees! Well, next week might be even hotter for my turbo swap. -Beau

It's always a good time when you have to remove suspension bolts in the hot weather.

Looks good now to test them out.

- Hey you got OEM mud flaps.....

i have to say after seeing it lifted for about a year and a half,looking like a off road Eclipse,it brought a tear to my eyes.

Its a Johnny RaceCar (JRC) FMIC it came anodized black but is fading. In direct sunlight it has a pinkish color Im gonna put a thin layer of flat black over it next weekend.

Very nice! Now ditch the front plate and de-badge it and you'll be looking even better.

^^^ In case you haven't been following the news lately.
Here in CA, if you don't have a front license plate, you'll get pulled over and ticketed.
And, when you get pulled over, they can and more than likely will ask you to pop open your hood so they can search your engine bay for illegal modifications.
If you say that you don't have to pop open your hood, they will arrest you, impound your car, make you wait a month to get it out of impound, and if you're lucky, you'll get your car back in one piece unless the local thugs get their hands on it first.
Then they search your car, find illegal modifications, make you return everything to stock, and then finally go to a referee and be forever in the cross hairs of the CARB, and your friendly neighborhood Test Only station for the rest of your car's life....

So, being respectable driving responsibly and being icognito is all something CA tuners are just going to have to do...
