Default pics- lowered the car

Lowered the car last week, got some new tires, and an alignment.

-H&R Super Sports (no iso's)
-Tokico Illumina 5-way Shocks/Struts
-Maximum Motorsports Caster/Camber Plates

Took a couple quick pics, I will get some better ones up later.

You really should, makes such a difference. Carving corners with no sway is pretty fun.

Didn't like the idea of metal on metal either. So I dressed the springs in electrical tape where the iso's would go. Not sure how much it'll help or last, but I don't hear any noises from the springs so far. I've heard from some ppl that thier springs get pretty noisy without iso's.

It's not better, but it's not bad either. I would have gotten the HTR III's all around if they made them in 315's. The tread wear on the HTR I's are just too damn soft and wear so quick so I got the III's for the front.

Why did you get rid of the iso's? To make it stiffer?

To drop it a tiny bit more lol. I can stiffen or loosen the car with the shocks/struts I got though. The adjustments are on top of the struts and shocks. It's that red top piece, has 5 different adjustments.

Yeah I did. Had to take it off because it sat on top of the strut tower right where the c/c plates had to go. Also only had 3 holes, had to drill a fourth hole for the plates so it just wouldn't work out at all, sucks.

It's not a factory option, it's an aftermarket add on.

Oh that would explain why I got mine, doh. LoL. The V6's do get them though?

What about the Cobra I told you about? I don't have pictures of the Engine or anything, just information and pictures of the car, ouside of the car.

As much as I'd appreciate that, looks like I'll have to pass...lol.

If you plan on c/c plates it's not the strut tower brace for you lol. Thats why I took it off if you'd read. You'll need the Maximum Motorsports side mount style like I'll be getting eventually.

Yeah I'm not sure either because I don't have pictures of the engine or fully insde of the Cobra I want. All I know is information on it, I just wish I could get it NOW.

Maybe I should take off my sway bar and send it to you before I sell my car.

Good stuff. You'll be able to carve some corners with that set-up (I would know). And you've already got SFCs, so now you need some aluminum steering rack bushings, LCAs,...... just look at my sig and get all that stuff haha.

Edit: Oh and thoes HTR Z III tires are great. Thoes are what I run on my FR500 rims and they have tons of lateral grip. I've got about 6,000 miles on my set and probably 8-10 autocross events. They do get greasy and slick when they get too hot. I had to take alot of pressure out of mine durring the summer months at a couple of events.
