Hopefully its ok to post this here...

So I come home, after 5 months, to find my car still nice and clean where I left it. Only thing was the battery was dead so I have it on charge right now, but look at what I had waiting inside for me





Progress springs still to come. Pics of all my new stuff to be up by the end of the week!

 

[StealthWyvern]

What size wheels you got Jeg and you got a drop?

 

[jeg0024]

I currently have stock struts with Goldline springs and my tires are 17/40/205 or however those numbers go, I forget. I kinda rub in the front with the Goldlines so Im going a little bit higher with the Progress springs, and I dont hear good things about the Goldlines on the Tokico's anyways. My suspension is gonna be sweet! I cant wait, but I just got home today, didnt even unpack yet. Tonight was like my christmas lol, oh, and I cant install them untill I get the new springs anyways. Im pretty sure Im going to do the mm inserts tomorrow though. Ill post my updates here I guess?

Thanks man! I can't wait to see your new paint.

What are those red thingies?

Side motor mount inserts, as mentioned above. I installed them today long with changing my 5 month old oil and 7 month old oil filter. I can put up pics of the installed inserts if anyone would like.

Well I wanted the Tokico struts, but the Goldlines don't work well with them at all so I went with the Progress because they give a slightly higher ride with the same nice level lowered stance. The struts are gonna be great, and so will the springs I haven't been able to test out my mm's yet but I stared her up and put it in drive and didn't have any vibration problems that I could feel, I think at higher RPM's I might but it all seemed great to me. I cant wait to feel if theres any better throttle response from the motor not moving around so much.

^nope

 

[jeg0024]

^nope

nope what? lol

 

[Not Jo3L]

looks good jeg..do you already have the front Motor Mount. If so tell me how the vibrations are with the sides.

 

[jeg0024]

I did already have an SLS front mount, and I got some vibrations with that untill I installed the UR UDP and that helped out a bit. I will let you know about the sides next time I take the car out for a spin.

 

[D-rock240]

Liquid_ag has the SLS mount. Other than idle, you don't notice the vibration (and the vibration at idle gives you a racecar-like feeling, so it's not a bad thing )

I'm going for the medieval mounts myself. I ordered the front and rear and will order the side and tranny mount when they come out.

Almost 140k on the car and stock mounts ftl

 

[red95_240sx]

u can feel the power in the steering wheel alot mroe too.

 

[CantCMe]

My baby...

 

[jeg0024]

Damn, I've missed out on everything you've done to your ride. It looks sweet!
