Very nice hatch man ive been following this build! I feel ya on getting stiffer springs, im running ground control and koni yellows and even with the konis all the way stiff in the front its still pretty bouncy. I might be getting stiffer ones soon too, maybe ill wait and see how your'd rides lol

Car looks awesome man!!

Updates buddy! Also more pics, saw some on facebook

Looks good, color combo/ wheels are very nice.

Thanks guys! Sorry I haven't been around much, but there's not a lot to post recently. Plus, The Last of Us came out and that's basically all I've been doing lately

Anyhoo, I've ordered stiffer springs for the front, they should be here soon (440 rates up front, the 350s go to the rear). Once I get my oem shocks disassembled I can fab up some super long tophats for the rear. Aaaand depending on how my finances look, I should be ordering my exhaust here soon.

Dude extended top hats are life savers on an EF!

[EF303]

Yep. that's my setup. And it actually rides pretty nicely. The whole system is just too soft and allows the pan and trans to scrape.

The reason mine isn't all too bad is because the rates aren't really all that much higher than stock. This doesn't render the shocks useless.

However, since tokicos are basically a stock replacement and your rates are heaps higher than stock, your ride is bouncy. The shocks probably just can't handle the rates.

Not quite true, the Tokicos are 15% stiffer than stock, and they're built for lowered cars. They're just not exactly built for dumped cars haha I think the reason it's so bouncy is because the shock is too compressed for the valving. However, I think with some 3"+ tophats, that should extend the piston out to the optimal range so the shock can do it's job. Since I have the resources to do the tophats, and the time, that's exactly what I'll do and see if it helps.

My brother just picked up one of these last night. Nice job so far man!

Thanks man! Haha he made an excellent choice, as long as he has lots and lots of patience

Dope!!

Thanks!!

haha woah there killer calm down i was just stating the obvious. so hows the rear perch thing working out for you??
thanks for the lip measurements

Haha sorry I didn't mean to come off all pissed, just annoyed. The rear perch seems to be working so far; nothing's broken or anything. I just wish I could figure out how to eliminate the bounce, preferably on the cheap if possible.
