New rear shocks & mounts, new stance
Eh.. 2 years on the first release of the BC coilover suspension... and well you get "first release" .
5KG rear spring
OLD 25 way rear dampening shock w/ a busted lower mount bushing... mmmm yummy
Old style rear lower control arm mount vs new and improved
Eat my rake...
Currently on the car are the currently offered BC COILOVER rear shocks & initial release 32way 8k spring combo front struts.
specs:
32 way dampening
adjustable...
Took the car through its paces through out the local canyons about 45 minutes ago after installing.
Sitting full stiff in the rear w/ 5k springs (BC COILOVER offers a 7k progressive rear spring for only $100!! Should make things interesting)
progress rear sway
fronts:
8 out of 32
tires:
fronts: 215/40/zr17 kuhmo asts
rears: 215/40/zr17 stock redline wheels (dunlops...)
all for set to 38 psi
The car lift oversteers like a champ, three wheels, and treks like it's on rails.
Oh the joy of an adjustable suspension...

Side note... 215s are to way to small of a tire on this car. Eh..
