Well after aboiut 4.5 hours my friend and I got it done...

It looks sooooooooo good!!!! No gap at all in the front, and you can't even really fit one finger in the back...

The ride is amazing, right now it's set at 2 in the front and 3 in the back. Tomorrow I'll play around with the settings.

It took so long because I have never done a drop before, and we had all hand tools. Everything worked out great though.

I'll take pics tonight and post them in a little bit, but I don't know how they will turn out. I'll def take more tomorrow

BTW...I got H&R sports and KYB/AGX struts.

sweetness! Can't wait to see the pics! One thing you should know....with the KYB's...they will take a week or so to settle in, and you should notice a lower ride than what it is at now. At least, that's how it was with my KYB's and sportlines. Glad you're happy with the setup!

 

[Johnny Tran]

Thanks...Yeah I love it, it looks great!!! I hope it doesn't get too much lower, cause it's pretty low.

One other thing...When we first put it in the rear creaked a little bit, but after I drove it for a while it stopped...Is that normal?

 

[BennySiR]

I think its pretty normal. I just put my koni's and GC's inthis weekend and she made some noises for a while but they stopped after a couple of minutes of drving. Sounds like sweetness man. You said you dropped her 2 in the front and 3 in the back???

I have the AGX's set at 2 in the front, and 4 in the back.

The drop is 1.75 in the front, and 1.5 in the back...Looks lower than that though.

I'll have pics tomorrow

 

[BennySiR]

That should look pretty sweet man!!! What I'm gonna do one day when i'm real bored sometime is drop it all the way and see what it looks like. Just to see....personally I think it would look like crap with the wheels that far up in the wheel wells like that but what the hell huh!!

 

[just chillin]

must... have... pics...

 

[MR. Sleeper SI]

Congrats dude.... I hope everything work out good with the ride... unlike my friends car... I wanna see some pics dude... did you take any pics of the work while dropping the car...

I remember when I did my own SI.... oh man I had sooo much fun with it...

[SlickRedSi]

Heck yeah man, post of pics. I probably go your route when the cash flow starts flown again. It will all depends on the job. Anyway, I am looking forward to see the before and after pics. I just might have to start saving up and get mine done.

 

[Tenchi]

My freaking roommate left for break, and he has the dig camera!!!!! I'll def have them up Friday. Sorry guys...It looks sooooo good though

 

[Red Si]

Congrats man......glad to hear your so happy with your setup. How is the ride quality when you are just cruising around? Comfortable? Still stiff? Better than stock? Thanks in advance for the info. and congrats again.

The ride is almost like stock, but stiffer. I was hitting bumps on purpose just to see how it felt. It rides excellent. I would highly recommend this set up to all Si owners.

As soon as I get the dig. camera back I will post the pics...

It looks soooooooo good!!!

 

[MR. Sleeper SI]

dude to be more realistic, dont think the suspension is going to feel like this for ever just give it a couple of weeks and it well change once it settles down.. the car is going to drop at least another 1/4 or more.. depending how much you drive but it's going to change.. you'll see I'm right it happens to everyone if you dont believe me ask around

What are you talking about????

How is the ride going to change?

Also I highly doubt my car will settle another 1/4 or more....

Hey v00tecsi, I got a question for you. When you installed the springs and the shocks, did you have to get the car realigned at all? How about readjusting the camber? If not, then I guess I will have to make an effort to save a lot of money to get the springs and shocks myself.

After you install them, you should have it realigned. I need new tires soon, so I'm going to wait untill I get the tires before I get it done.

Do the drop yourself, and save some money. Even if you have someone else lower it, you still have to pay for an alignment.

As far as camber goes, mine isn't too bad, but it's off. When I get my tires I may get a camber kit as well. Again these things are not included in the cost of the drop, so do it yourself.

Email me if you need some help...
