Re: From China with Love

+/-0.5" is a huge difference side to side.

Also 25" is probably the highest you can go with coilovers, lower it down to 24" and then you might be start to be considered low (if that is what you are going for)
Not saying 25" isn't a functional ride height, just saying that you can't call it "low"

It's not a contest

plus sean is cheating anyways :P.

i kind of like those new wheels you picked up. what are they called again? what car did the come off of?

edit: ps. i stumbled across ur vortex thread, if ur looking for spacers, i can sell u a pair of 5mm spacers. it will push out the wheels so u can go lower if you like. i no longer have a need for them.

Lol the max height with solowerks is 27inches. 25inch is halfway down, fine just call it sorta high for now. These coilovers have a pretty limited suspension travel, and I'm assuming any lower will kill my back.... How do the air bags ride and handle comparing to stock?
PS +/-0.5 is measurement error not exactly my height is varying at every corner..

Those are called bugatti wheels I think, I ordered some center caps from ECS a few days ago but they still didn't ship the stuff yet. Thanks for the offer but I already have spacers, 10mm front and 15mm rear. Honestly I didn't feel any sort of enhanced performance with spacers......

Little update


Finally got my center caps. Got them mounted at urban expression today, they did an excellent job!

Re: From China with Love

Got the wheels mounted in the morning. No vibrations in the car at 180KM/H, even with spacers. However, with the monicas the steering wheel shaked like nuts on deerfoot yesterday going 125KM/H, they were rebalanced on a road force hunter yesterday before going on deerfoot, torqued on the ground is the only thing i can think of that is causing the vibrations, hubcenteric spacers and longer bolts were used. Help!

On Bugatti wheels with 10mm/15mm spacers.

Its your fueling, you got a nasty leak. That's why you're unloading in 3rd and vibrating on deerfoot.....

I do vibrate slightly in 3rd, that might explain why one tank of gas only last 360km now. But I was in sixth gear on deerfoot, the front wheels almost felt like they were floating in the air.

EDIT: just checked for fuel leaks, no leaks, but the fuel filter seemed ridiculously old.

Re: From China with Love

Too many stickers and way too much speed. Car looks good though.

Re: From China with Love

gonna get ur newly obtained license taken away in a blink of an eye. i like the clean look of the car in general and like i said before i like those wheels.. my personal preference is for you to spin down those coils a bit tho
