Lowered My MSP with S-Techs (pics)

[TigrMsP]

I finally lowered my MSP a couple days ago. Let me know what you think!

Only mods I have are DaveB polished rings, Kartboy Shifter, and the Tein S-Techs. The ride quality is amazing. It's just like the stock ride, if not better. I was a huge skeptic of the ride turning into a harsh, bumpy ride... I am completely satisfied with both the look, and ride.

Comments welcome!

It look very nice, is there any robbing, and were did you got them? $$$$ I will like to lower my as well.

Good ride & looks are nice, but what about the handling? I've been to Georgia, so I know you have some curvy roads there. Let us know how it fairs in the twisties now.

I haven't had any rubbing issues at all. I got them from http://www.apexr1.com for 165 (came out to ~192 shipped)...

I have to get the alignment/camber checked out this weekend. I don't want to buy tires anytime soon.

Edit: Yeah, we've got some good twisties around here... I'm waiting to get it aligned before i really test it out, just to be sure everything is how it should be. I'll let ya know though for sure.

Looks very nice. I'm also on Tein's and i am finding that the back seems pretty high and doesn't settle either. (uhm) maybe its the extra coil.

But i'm still pretty happy with them (spin)

When I first put them on, I was disappointed. It almost looked higher than the factory height. I forgot to measure the rear, but as of now, I don't think I got the 1.4" drop they claim. I'm trying to be patient to see if it settles any lower.

DAMN, every spring I consider seems to have some kind of problem.

looks good

I like your signature Tigr. The car looks good too, but good luck trying to get the back to settle lower.

 

[TigrMsP]

Thanks man... I appreciate all the positive comments.

I'm trying to find extra weight to throw in the back to try to help them settle faster, but all the girls I ask get offended. Is it the way I put it? Haha, j/k

 

[PaulieWalnuts]

[MIA protege]

1. Titanium is gorgrous
2. I wish I could drop my car like that as it looks really good. But my roads are wayyyyy to horrible.
3. Wash your tires

j/k

lol when i first installed my tein i could put 3 fingers in the rear...its was rediculous.

 

[srtchick]

looks good overall ! (thumb) hopefully the rear will settle a lil bit more

Haha... I'm busted! I skipped that the last time I washed the car. It's hard to keep clean right now because of the pollen.

I think the drop is around what they claim... however I'm not sure about the back. I forgot to measure it before and after, so I can't tell you the exact drop. I was caught up in the install. (stooges)

looks very nice, may take a long while to settle my eibachs took 3-4weeks to settle completely, and like yours the front settled way before the back, but I think taking a few trips with 2-3 people in the back seat should settle them some more. =)

I have been hella happy with my eibachs, i just need to get some struts to go with them now.

Try putting a big Fing piece of wood in the back of your MSP!

 

[TigrMsP]

ROFL ... Nice Wood (rofl)

you could put a cinderblock in the trunk, see if it helps drop the springs =p
