I'm bored so I figured I would update this.

Ordered Megan coilovers and they will be here next week. Going to pick up some more steel wheels this weekend (I'm too poor for something cool).

So the plan is paint the wheels, mount the tires, install coils and spin them all the way down to see where I am at. I might have to get shorter springs for the front so I can be as low as I want to be. Part of the reason I went with Megan is they make the springs I could potentially need.

Um... cool.

anyway, im excited to see this build! the body shape really isnt bad when you look at it, keep truckin!

Little update.

Found these at my doorstep tonight: Right out of the box:



Greased and adjusted. Front is all the way down and the rear has 40mm to go. I'm sure they will have to be adjusted some, but this should be a good baseline:



Also my new wheel color:


Its not everyones taste, but neither is a Kia. I'm just working with what I got.

cant wait to see those installed

Installed coils today and did an alignement. Fronts are all the way down and I am pretty bummed with the results:







Gonna take out all the lock rings at some point and look into shorter springs. Oh yeah, I like my wheel color by the way...lol

cut em lol

[andybob]

cut em lol

lol.

I just checked and Megan makes 50mm shorter springs so I'll probably end up getting those. The only other problem I can foresee is CV boot issues and tie rod clearance. The threaded rod the tie rod is on is about a 1/2" from the frame.

Are you sure you got 4 cyl tib coils?
