GE8 Lowered Thread - Post your pics!!!
#1682
So, installed progress technology springs on my ge8 four days ago. Didn't seem to drop it much if at all. What's the average amount that they should settle and go a lil lower, if at all, and around how long? If anyone knows?

just wait for it bro. i had mine installed(eibach sportline springs) almost a year ago and they starting to get really lower than i ever imagine. its starting to have my front tires scrape on the fenders. it look really nice though but beware on high bumps! make sure you slow down or else!your gonna hear something loud coming from under.

Eibachs are very soft "progressive rate" spring that are made to be good quality, but probably not quite oem strength/quality. Swift springs do not settle, but they cost a bit more. The quality of the steel production, coiling machine, style of coil spring, and thicknesses all play into it. I had progress springs years ago, and they didn't settle much, and those have the highest spring rates of any of the drop springs for the GE (that I know of.) They will probably settle some, but I wouldn't bet the farm. Let's see some pics. Those look pretty low and agressive from what I've seen in the past. Just making sure your expectations aren't askew, cause you should definitely notice the change.

Can't do pics from my phone for some odd reason, but will tonite if I get a moment. I noticed a drop, but very very minimal. Like a few friends asked if it even dropped it at all. Just not too impressed cause it's like I spent money for a stiffer ride which is very nice and comfy by the way, but no appearance benefit.

ive been bored with my wheels lately. so i wanted to try something different. I plasti-dipped my wheels today. What i like about the plasti-dip is it doesnt harm the original paint. I can take it off at anytime. This is the second time ive done it and im happy with the outcome.

I like how they looked before you plasti dipped

I just needed a change. Can't seem to find a buyer for the wheels so i figured i would mess around with them a bit. plasti-dip isn't permanent so i can't take it off at anytime. gotta love plasti-dip

not sure yet. I have a sticker in the yellow which gave me the idea for the wheels to begin with. I thought about the emblems or even some interior pieces but i feel like i might over do it
