yea thats my buddies Suzuki that he just got. Im lookin at getting an R1 sometime midsummer....we went cruisin today and snapped a few here and there.....oh and 18inchboyds....I know my suspension has baffeled the hell out of me too....my front is so low (but still no rubbing) and the rear hasnt settled much....kinda bothers me ...btw 1bad - your bike is awesome!, also, if thats your 4th gen, Im more than jealous...it's the whole reason why I got my raII hood (to tide me over since I couldnt afford a 98+ ws6 at the time)

its about time *whew*

as for the drop....the prokit is supposed to offer a 1.3" drop from stock (somewhere around that height)....but I can assure you that my front dropped more than that, and the rear not enough

Wait a minute, i hate it again, you need to paint the trim around the headlights black, not the buckets but the actual trim, then I will love it again...



just messing around but I think that will sharpen it up nicely

Anyone with Spohn's coilovers yet? Also, anyone lowered with Hooker LTs? Don't exactly know how I want to lower my car yet. Kandied has me leaning towards air ride but I have yet to see Spohn's on a car and real pics, not just of a wheel well! Thanks in advance

everytime i see the rear of your car on the first pic i fall in love again, this is just too awesome. even if am not a fan of the hood.

deepstage69:
is it the pic or does your nose seem to be longer? Looks like a shark!! maybe just cause of the prime color and couse the GFX is missing...

maybe to some people, but i know one thing...i have the lowest camaro in canada :P

im 3 inches highest point on 20 inches...if i put on the stock wheels, i will be -4 inches!!

which basically means, if i put 16s on i will be sitting on my skirts and the wheels will be in the wheel wells 4 inches..


take 4 blocks,. drive the car on them, hit the switches, the car drops 4 inches below the blocks..

so, i went 20s, i got sponsored too by american racing which also helps

Had an '87 GTA with Sportlines, was a daily driver. Much harsher ride than stock. Stock Honeycomb wheels rubbed at full lock. Lower Air Dams get destroyed rather easily, catalytics as well.

Get 17"+ wheels or keep it stock height IMHO
