Sechzi time! that FocusSport lip looks great on your car Boink

It's too bad you couldn't bring your car Rob

by matchbox 2010-06-10, 11:57 pm

Yeah I probably could have brought the car, but last year I ran into some issues on the way home from Tennessee and am afraid of it happening again on a long trip. I plan to fix the problem before h2o though so I can drive out there.

by Armanduhx3 2010-06-11, 12:13 am

Omg, that color is amazing! I like your car... alot! Wink

Hai! (I missed out)

by **SVT3658** 2010-06-11, 8:32 am

Sweet jesus I love your car Rob

by NHFocus 2010-06-13, 3:40 pm

More low? Looks so clean man, I'm loving it! Props for being one of the few duratec owners to dump the car Wink

by **SVT3658** 2010-06-13, 5:21 pm

Rob, your car makes me want to sell my SVT and get an 05. Seriously.

by jakebrewer 2010-06-13, 5:32 pm

That lip looks soo hot rollin in front of his car

More low as in lower than before? If so then yes.

More low as in you want to see more low? Yes. I just have to get a different front setup, these H&R struts don't seem much shorter than stock and I'm pretty sure I'm at the bottom of them. I'm thinkin Ksports next year.

by NHFocus 2010-06-13, 7:31 pm

Just a heads up the Ksports and D2's are VERY similar. I'm almost positive they are manufactured at the same plant. The shocks appear to have a little different valving, and the D2 springs are stiffer...but I'm also only halfway down my 12" of adjustment, and the helpers are still installed.

And I was saying more low as in GO LOWER! Wink

by **SVT3658** 2010-06-13, 7:56 pm

I can't wait to get my hands on some FK front coilovers Very Happy

Still gotta figure out what I'm gonna use for the rear setup...

by NHFocus 2010-06-13, 8:41 pm

Worst case I send you my cut FK's for a while..oh wait, why not just ride on bump stops? Tongue

by jakebrewer 2010-06-13, 9:40 pm

Just buy some lowering springs for the rear and cut dead coils to desired height

by **SVT3658** 2010-06-13, 9:49 pm

Bingo! I just need to find someone selling only rears, and ones that are stiff enough

by Armanduhx3 2010-06-13, 10:12 pm

Hey, Josh..
Mine will be available...soonish

by **SVT3658** 2010-06-13, 10:26 pm

Eibachs are not stiff. At all. If they were, I'd just use mine Wink

To me it looks like I need some H&R Race springs to me

by Armanduhx3 2010-06-13, 10:28 pm

Oh, I offered Tongue

by **SVT3658** 2010-06-13, 10:47 pm

Thanks anyway

by 06CallahanZx3 2010-06-13, 11:18 pm

i got some stock rears im not using Tongue

if your interested just chop them in half and you got front and rear set to go lol

by NHFocus 2010-06-13, 11:31 pm

LOL please don't ^

H&R Race should be fairly easy to come across. Like I said try for the H&R Race, FK, H&R coilover kit springs, or KW rears from spring or coil kit. Stay away from D2, and KSport (unless cutting only 1-2 dead coils), Eibach, Progress, and normal H&R's. I can't think of any other brands right now but if you list some I can tell you yay or nay.

by **SVT3658** 2010-06-13, 11:54 pm

I know a guy in Jax with some H&R race but he wants my shock to run with them lol

by jakebrewer 2010-06-14, 4:03 pm

Fuck that guy, get his springs

by matchbox 2010-06-14, 6:40 pm

And just because I posted it on FJ in the banter thread...

Rob, why did you ever change the way that sexy beast looks? I think you ruined it Tongue

by MiSVT1893 2010-06-14, 11:52 pm

Lol, speaking of H&R race springs...I had them, they have SOOOOOO MANY dead coils it's crazy.

I got his Euro rear bumper tonight, and I highly doubt I'll get his springs too lol. He's installing them pronto now that I gave him my KW dampers as part of the trade for the bumper

Steals them!
