  • Thanks everyone.

    While it looked much better than it did I still wanted to bring it down a little more. but I had to move some "stuff" to make it fit.

    Since I had spun the coilovers down so much, they were pretty close to the CV boots and in order to go lower I would need to fix that. Here is what it looked like:



    So what I did was loosen the metal clamp and move the end of the boot closer to the CV joint itself and re-clamp it with a tool I brought home from work. It now looks like this on both sides:



    Still plenty of room before the cv boots hit stuff. That pic was taken after spinning them down a little over a 1/4 of an inch.

    Here is what it looks like now, quick iPhone pic:



    So far so good with everything while driving. I really need to roll my fenders because my snow tires catch the little lip and make terrible noises.

    That pretty much sums up my build for a while though. I might have a few little things here and there, but it'll prolly stay like this for winter.

        • in that last pic it looks good, I'ts crazy, just from lowering it like that it makes it look way more aggressive, an aggressive kia, nice build, love the fabrication and hard labor put into it

          • Thanks guys.

            Once I roll my front fenders I'm going to drop the front all the way down and see how that works out.

              • You should really think about doing something with your headlights, They pop way to much now in a bad way. I really want to see this thing get even more epic.

                  As for the headlights the only thing I might do is clear the corners. I've just been apprehensive about doing so because you have to bake the lights to soften the glue so you can pull them apart.

                    Do it, and spray the Chrome black while you're in there.

                      • yeah. Thought about that too.

                        If I do that I might go with something a little more body color than black. Like charcoal or something.

                              Its going to be a little tight making them fit, but the fitment should be pretty nuts for being static. (I hope. Fitment will be crazy for a Kia anyways.)
