Should Some Sorta Stanced Silver Sonic Stay Static? Sure. :P

[Thaifighter]

hey roll with it man. cant knock the sonic. 40mpg and boost. im sure eventually you might check out bagging it if you cant find a set of coilovers that can get it as low as you want. also might see about getting adapters or wheels drilled to your weird ass bolt pattern lol

Haha right?
Already got the adapters if you missed it.
I wouldn't be able to mount the wheels otherwise... lol

I am pretty tempted to bag it since I like practicality, but we shall see...

btw, nice avatar.
Still need to catch up on the manga. Sorta stopped after the anime ended... :/

[aeok18109]

manga took a few dips after the Aizen arc but at the point its at now it explained so much. its leading up to a epic finale.

Removed the rear springs from my car to see how much lower it would go.
Needless to say, I was fairly disappointed...

It's a nice drop compared to before, but I'm barely even tucking tire.
Gotta figure out how I can get my car lower before I dump money on bags or something of the sort. Apparently, shorter springs aren't going to cut it since the complete absence of springs won't even tuck much tire...







Oh well. I'll figure out something...

Currently back on stock suspension. In the process of fixing my seized coilovers and figuring out how to go lower.

Gosh my car feels like a 4x4 now. haha

In the meantime, I'll probably be trading/selling the AutoCouture wheels in favor of a slightly less aggressive set up. Keep an eye out for a For Sale thread soon. haha

I love where this is going, however I think the car could benefit from running a smaller wheel than the 18s, IMO they look too big.

[basyrfang]

is the front wheels wider?

[scradley]

yessss! i always say these things will look sick slammed and all my friends laugh

[mrg7243]

Start cutting shit.and getting a bigger hammer

I mainly got 18's in hopes that it would tuck tire more easily. That, and 17's looked a tad small imo.

Yes.

lol if only it were that simple. XD
My last pics were without springs... >_<
Car was on its bumpstops.

[Thom]

Man i like the way it sits on bumpstops :P looks better tucking tire on this car imo. Just get the tires to sit almost on the guard lip.

[Dubb87]

Never seen this car before, love to see something different, looking good!

So far, it seems like only 1 coilover is seized, so that's good.
Hopefully, a nice bath in PB Blaster will help... lol

Anywho, here's my for sale thread for the wheels. haha

Aiming for something a tad less aggressive so that I won't have to have too much negative camber to tuck, but we shall see.

Wow great looking sonic!

I suppose I should update this.





Decided to go air and figured out how to get the car lower. lol

Pieced together a manual kit from a bunch of random universal parts.
Still working on putting everything together. Warranty work (or lack of) and school have been keeping me from making any progress since going back to stock.

Also got a lip kit + a Subaru splitter and Mazda 3 side skirt extensions. We'll see how that goes... lol





Also went through several different wheels:

SSR SP3 18x8.5 +63/18x9.5 +44 : (Currently for sale)



E38 BBS Style 5's 16x8 +23: (Sold)


Chevlon Racing Wheels 17x7 +40: (Sold)


Work VS-XX 18x8 +50/18x9 +50: (Sold)


Enkei NT03+M 18x9.5 +40: (Currently for sale)


(was to lazy to play with rear camber on these because they didn't clear the stock studs on my adapters)

Finally settled on another set of Work VSXX's. (This time, 18x7 +50):

Came with Work Elbe centercaps for some odd reason... Weird. lol

Had them redrilled from 5x100 to 5x105.


Currently rebuilding them. Debating on whether to go with a 3" lip (18x9 +26) or attempt to squeeze that extra .5" of lip. (18x9.5 +20)
Also planning on shaving the outer holes down so that I can sandwich mount them as pictured so that'll probably lower the offset a few mm as well...
Don't really want to pull my fenders at the moment though.



Hopefully I'll be able to get the ball rolling more quickly once I get some stuff fixed. Car's been a bit wonky lately. :/
