New Daily Driven Ride Height! YAY!

I am finally sorta satisfied with my daily ride height...I just installed my BC Racing extreme drop kit. My setup is consist of a shortened casing and 18k/16k Swift racing springs. I had the ride comfort all the way at the stiffest settings also. Maybe I am just used to a stiff setup but I even think the 18/16 combo is too soft lol. As you all know I drive my car daily. I go to the midwest/east coast and the southern states fairly often and I can tell you that it is pretty comfortable. I do hear my 5zigen Fireball exhaust piping scrape every few seconds but its ok, I dont hear it as much since the piping is now flat [IMG]http://images.ibsrv.net/ibsrv/res/src:www.clublexus.com/get/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif[/IMG] haha. I am very satisfied with this setup. It has more potential to go loweeeerrr but for a daily I dont suggest you do it lol. Due to the stiff springs I haven't heard my control arms hit the upper strut mount area lol. Tire wear is obviously expected but you have to pay to play you know...I will be driving it at this height through Chicago and east coast winters. I was maybe an inch higher before driving it during the winter. Here are some pictures just to show the new ride height. Sorry about the messed up front bumper and dirty car...I just drove from DC to Chicago 2x within 2 weeks lol...enjoy!

looks dope. The exhaust scraping would definitely get to me.

nice man im on 20/18 extreme drop bc's and i too feel i shoulda went a tad stiffer!  shit really doesnt move tho hahaha

haha I was thinking of telling Agi to upgrade my springs to 20/18..I still might do it! lol...
 
yeah the exhaust scraping got to me in the beginning and then I just got used to it...its all flat now i dont even hear it haha!

DOOOOOOOPEE!!!!!! :biggthumpup:

Exhuast scraping buggs me but at the same time you end up liking it cause you know your that low. 
It's a win lose IMO :shrug:

haha that IS a big ass fuckin exhaust tho!

looks good. id go alittle bit lower in the front but thats just me... makes me miss my gs =(

Shits dope, and especially 'coz it's static and daily d :dance:

If I recall the bottom structure of the 2nd gen right, you should easily gain a inch clearance with your exhaust if you'd mod a bit of your bumper and exhaust hangers...

Very nice my friend:biggthumpup:
Gotta respect owners who get every dollars worh out of their VIP rides and daily them...
I know how tuff it is but breaking necks on a daily basis is priceless haha

sick

good ride height. dont be scared when your arms hit

Nicely done fam, Damn i want to dip my front but im already rubbing and im on a 20x8.5 +22.. They dont make a 215/35 in 20s. Well they do but i aint paying that much for just 2 tires ima go threw in 3 -4 months.

Looking Good Martin...

thanks guys...i just came back from chicago and the rear tires where on the wire...so I woke up this morning and its a flat now hahaha....I cant order my tires cuz the place I order from is closed already...$95 for achilles 235/35! haha...
 
sidenote: How will getting RCA's help me? right now its just basically lowered...I was thinking of getting the RCA's..I heard I can go lower with them?...and they help the comfort of the ride...not really sure though..

height looks dope martin:biggthumpup:

how long did those tires last?  are you hitting the uca's now?

Car looks dope dude... :biggthumpup:

word, Im lucky if i get 8 weeks :pat:
 
Good shit Martin, keep doin your thang

nice, reps to GA.....

So your summer setup is also your winter setup? Do you atleast change your wheel/tire setup? Im about to be working on the east coast during winter and just looking for some advice on winter driving while flush/slammed.

Depends where on the east coast, anywhere above maryland/jersey you will want winter wheels no doubt. Furthermore you might want to raise to near stock height, but it depends on the year. 
 
I'm in dc area and i can get away with stock wheels and stay slammed, its the salt and sand that you need to worry about, if they forecast any precipitation in the winter, salt and sand is everywhere....
 
:pat:

that is beautiful.

8 mo tire wear is pretty good . 

"Your sister is hot but your mom does that thing with her tongue"

Freaking Dope!!! Im riding just alittle bit lower than this Daily on my car

super fresh, digginn the color.

That looks like Gato's old GS. 
 
DD at that height is fun isn't it? I just hated hitting the UCA's...if you clearance them you're ride will be a lot smoother.

Wow, that's really nice. In my personal opinion, that's a perfect diameter and ride height for the GS.
