Jedi what kind of springs can i get to make it look like his? I can only afford springs..

Jedi54 04-16-2013 01:21 PM

:dunno:
to be honest it's been years since I've looked into springs so I'm not even sure what's out there these days.

Although, keep in mind that if you simply get a shorter / stiffer spring that you'll have a much harder ride AND those springs will wear out your OEM shocks much faster as they're not designed that sort of spring rate.

I was looking at a For Sale by houstonRXer and came across this, seems like it's a set of blistein struts with tein coilover inserts. I tried looking at his build thread to figure out how he did it, but it's too long to browse. Might be best to ask him directly about the whole assembly is if you're interested.

@ R2D2: +1 w/Jedi.

I'm on HKS coilovers. :)

I too haven't been on springs in a while but it's really up to you as far as what you're going for. Grace^ put up a good example...another good build is coldflame's suspension. Check em' out.

1730: On Hazeltine Blvd. in Van Nuys. Seems someone just purchased it, still has the KEYES Van Nuys logo instead of the CA plates.

Neiron09 04-23-2013 12:25 PM

I get that all the time P. Used to think they gave me the damn what a weirdo, but I've decided that it's really the shame and embarrassment that I thought give the rotary love wave first.

R2D2X8 04-24-2013 02:59 PM

^ another lost soul..

UrbanOcho 04-24-2013 07:47 PM

I get nuthin' either....just yesterday there was a SS going west on the 60 right next to me. Guy doesn't even look over. Eh, doooooood, I wanted to say ... how often do you see a black cherry Shinka?


Nuthin.

Neiron09 04-24-2013 08:17 PM

2130: I was on my way to a car meet and this VR passed me while on the 405 to the 118. He sped and I chased then we both passed a stock TiGrey GT with an appearance package and 6k HIDs. He exited on Hayvenhurst, I went to Balboa.

Stock looking Brilliant Black spotted @ the 24hr Fitness in Buena Park at the mall. I've seen your car twice parked outside between 6-8pm. I'm always there monday-friday but in my daily (Corolla).

Anybody here?

Dear Guy in Later Gen WB Going North Bound 605 This Morning (Thr 4/25),

I'm the weird Asian chick in earlier gen BB who waved and drove behind you for at least 5 miles, admiring your butt. I wasn't hitting on you. I just liked your beautiful car. You could have at least waved back or give a look of acknowledgement.


Sincerely,

1dergirl

Was on my way to work on the 73 toll road toward newport beach and saw a SS with appearance package pass me up. The car had a plate that included the work "sprt"

Dirtyswiff 04-25-2013 12:52 PM

In the beginning of this month I was at the Brea Mall, I got really nice parking got in and out quick as I was walking to my spot I turned around to what appeared to be a early series blue 8, a guy with his chick in the car. I hope u enjoyed my parking spot. Didn't say what's up cuz I didn't want u to think I was showin off in front of ur chick lol. I also seen a couple of 8s parking in the Quad town center where I work in whittier. If u see a red 8 wit black rims and a CF wing that's me, say what's up!

^lol

There's no excuse as to why there was no 'wave back'. If a chick driving the car can't get a wave back then there isn't a snowball's chance in a microwave i'm gonna wave back :( :( :( :( :(

Dirtyswiff 04-25-2013 01:47 PM

Also rode along next to a grey 8 on whittier blvd heading towards la habra another guy with his chick passing eachother back n forth not aknowleging eachother, noticed he had a rear rotary light that seemed either home made or missing leds finally parted ways on whittier and beach...haha dang I gotta smile more often.

Atilla 04-25-2013 01:57 PM

im hella dark. if i smile...it'll give away my position

:suspect:

Dirtyswiff 04-25-2013 02:27 PM

Lol Is that in ur corolla or ur 8?

Atilla 04-25-2013 03:31 PM
