improved stance

worked a bit on the stance of my car, by modifying the springs. Looks a bit better now. Still looks a bit SUV-ish from the back though. Sorry for the crappy pic, i know it sucks, i try to make better ones, if someone cares

too much negative camber in front and a little higher on the back (1/2 inch). Yesterday,i re-installed the eibach prokit i had two years ago and took measurements. I wondered how much lower it sits with my custom cut intrax. The result is one inch lower in fornt and 1.6 inch lower in the back (now compared to eibach prokit).

So i'd say it is 2.5 inch lower than a stock RS

...IIRC, the export tailights have the amber corners, and the red is next to the white reverse lights. It looks like Graboid has all red, which I think would be custom, not export.

...could be wrong though.


Graboid, looks GREAT...as always.:hail: I can't say that the difference jumps out at me, but I'm sure it's no comparison in your eyes!

...none the less, it still looks awesome.

what i dont understand is how you drive it around . I have my car lowered with sportlines and i occ. scrape the air dam. Your car looks like its about 1/2 -3/4 " lower in the front than mine.

If you knew how many pictures of your car I have on my computer at home and at work, you'd think I was a stalker. Looks fantastic!

And for anyone wanting to know: his taillights are the domestic version with the amber painted over in a mixture of black paint and clear coat. How he got the reverse lights so clean, I have no idea.
