DMikko · 04-26-2004, 10:47 AM

great drop, those wheels look amazing!

did you get the "new" flex or the old flex?

verheyen505 · 04-26-2004, 12:48 PM

you dropped it 2.25 in the front and .5 in the back? man that looks good. i just might have to copy you... oh yeah, where did you order your coilovers from?

***Yukonart*** · 04-26-2004, 09:17 PM

Call "Chuck" at Showstoppers

Tell him JoePax referred you, and you'd like the same Tein Flex that "Art" ordered for your STi. Pretty much matched (or beat) Gruppe-S's price on them.

They don't have a lot on their website, but they deal with almost all makes and accessories. If they don't stock it, they can get it. . . FAST. And Chuck's all about the referrals, so I'm sure you'll be hard-pressed to find better prices for many of the products they quote you on.

They are the 8F/7R springrate coilovers. . . very firm, almost race-spec. Some roads are a bit jittery, but then, I DO live in Washington State. Almost ALL the roads are like that, anyway. On the freeway, they're actually quite smooth.

Don't be jealous, Steve. After all, your clean-ass car was the inspiration for mine.

The pillowball top mounts are, indeed, standard on the Flex coilovers.

The EDFC will likely get ordered next month.

And thanks, Thunder!!!
