yeah have to ava nosey when weather improves... not like us to do meets in the snow / freezing cold eh! :lol:

 

[sushiming]

looking good now...u spent some money on that

The K-Sport's are great arent they...although i bet like me you want the rears upgraded asap as well

 

[Andyw]

from the small amount of mileage iv covered since fitting them im impressed, would love a set of 6 pots to balance the rear tho

 

[JEZ 8553]

Just get the R32/33 setup with 296mm dics, this should balance out the braking performance in line with the original brake bias.

 

[Andyw]

ooo look what arrived today;
HSD inverted monotube coilovers
8kgf/mm front and 6kgf/mm rear spring rates
16 way damper adjustable
camber adjustable fronts

was going to be a weekend job to fit them, but i got giddy when i got home from work, managed to get 3 on before bad light stopped play :lol:
quick preview of drivers side complete;

 

[Andyw]

4th shock now fitted! ... they are wound down quite low - i now need larger wheels, to stop my exhaust catching the floor over bumpers haha
have ordered full set of adjustable rear camber, rear toe arms, rear traction arms and front tc arms from apex
so once they are fitted, can select a ride height and get the geomtry set up and test the handling
looks uber cool though;

 

[JEZ 8553]

Thats going to give you nightmares anytime to see a speedbump or try to park in a multi storey being that low. Look like good coilovers though, ive heard good things about the HSD's.

 

[Yakozan]

i think it's a bit too low. Especially in the back.

I would personally go with a height similar to this one

 

[Andyw]

as i said it IS sitting a bit too low

iv ordered all the alignment goodies from apex so once they are fitted i can select a good ride height and go get things aligned properly also

 

[WATDA]

Looks good. Once ya pull the camber out in the rear it will look better and not quite as low

 

[Andyw]

i know im turning into a photo-whore at the moment :lol:

but finally got coilovers fitted, and adjusted to an alignement that is driveable (still awaiting rear camber, toe, traction arms etc), and set to a more pratical, speed bump friendly ride height!

sooo... heres some pics

no more pics till iv fitted something else i promise

Just for you, im uploading a video onto youtube just now of my s15 getting into my drive way.. put the sound all the way up. :thumbs:

 

[Andyw]

lol i can imagine the scraping noise

i experienced that wen overtaking parked cars when i crossed the natural camber of the road! haha

 

[mint]

haha try cat's eye's on the motorway. Kei Chan struggled to get down to JAE on the main motorway, each time i crossed lanes there would be sparking.

I cant wait to get her back.. you can ALWAYS go lower
