CleanGSR Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 INSURANCE UPDATE Well, first off, I found out that the guy who hit my car...his insurance wasn't in affect when he hit me so the insurance isn't paying. I've found some legal stuff out and have threatened him with it to get $150 of the $294 he owes me. Since I have a letter from his insurance saying he didn't have any, I can get his license suspended for a year by filling out an accident report with a copy of the insurance letter and mailing it to DOR. So, I told him that he has until next Friday to come up with the remaining $144.00 or I'm sending it in. We'll see what happens.....I may send it in even if I get paid (it's not dependent on me getting paid, it's just my leverage). SUSPENSION UPDATE I've had my new Tokico Illumina's sitting in the boxes in my garage for almost 2 months now awaiting my Omni Power Coilover sleeves. After waiting for 3 months, I finally got a refund from the springs. Ordered Ground Control's yesterday and should be here by next weekend (not this coming one) and will be installed that Saturday. I'm getting so anxious to get them on that I can't hardly wait. Plus I think one of my rear struts has finally blown cause my ride has gotten pretty rough and the rear suspension squeeks like crazy. I can also hear the spring come unseated and pop back into place on bumps sometimes. Pics will be posted as soon as I get the new suspension on. Rain or shine, the car will be washed (in the garage probably) and taken out for a photoshoot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airjordan223 Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 sounds sweet man. make sure he respects your authori-tie. whats the drop gonna be like compared to the comptech setup you have now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CleanGSR Posted February 15, 2007 Author Share Posted February 15, 2007 My comptech is only a 1.25" drop and is a little higher on the passenger side (I really hate that). I can go as low as 3.5". I'll probably be dropped 2.5" or basically however low I can go without the 17's rubbing. I think I can easily get another 1.5" drop without rubbing. I plan to get GC extended top hats too so I have the extra shock travel. Honestly, if I can drop a full 3.5" without rubbing, that's where I'll be. With the extended top hats, I shouldn't have to worry about blowing my shocks either. It would be about the same as a 2" drop as far as the shocks are concerned.

airjordan223 Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 you already have a camber kit right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CleanGSR Posted February 15, 2007 Author Share Posted February 15, 2007 Yeah, I"ve got the adjustable bushings up front and the washer trick in the rear. I'll just need to get it re-aligned and everything should be square. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
90IntegraC1 Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 i'd like to know more about this washer trick..... nice set-up by the way! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CleanGSR Posted February 15, 2007 Author Share Posted February 15, 2007 Do you know what a ingalls adjustable rear camber kit looks like? Well instead of that, you just put washers behind your factory parts to bring the top of the suspension out. I put about 2 washers under each (2 total per side) bolt and that got it spot on for a 1.25" drop. If you go more than 2 washers, you'll need to get longer bolts too.

CleanGSR Posted February 16, 2007 Author Share Posted February 16, 2007 Found out Springs will be here Tuesday, and bought Nancy's ITR Front Strut Bar. I also forgot, but I made a ITR styled trunk brace out of 1" square steel tubing. I can't honestly say if it helped the handling (feels like maybe a little), but it definately got rid of most of the squeeks that I had in my rear suspension through corners.

TS John Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 Sounds great, man. I love the feeling of anticipation before a car mod when everything's shipping. Love it and hate it.... Can't wait to see this photoshoot of the newly lowered teg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CleanGSR Posted February 23, 2007 Author Share Posted February 23, 2007 Bump cause I got my Ground Control's today. Put them on the Illumina's ready for install tomorrow night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CleanGSR Posted February 23, 2007 Author Share Posted February 23, 2007 Definately, but I left my tuner lugs for the enkei's at my parents house. I won't be there for another couple weeks, so new pics will have to be with the winter wheels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CleanGSR Posted February 23, 2007 Author Share Posted February 23, 2007 I'd be putting them on tonight, but need spring compressor's to get my top hats off my stock shocks. I'll rent the spring compressor's tomorrow after work and probably stay up until I get them on. I think I can get them put on in 2 hours (by myself). I've got an air compressor and a 550ft/lb impact wrench so it should be quick business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coolcat467 Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 How much will the drop be? Same as now, higher, lower? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CleanGSR Posted February 23, 2007 Author Share Posted February 23, 2007 It will be somewhere between what it is now and a 3.5" drop. I"m dropping it as low as I can and still have a comfy ride with no rubbing. I'd like to tuck the tires just a little all around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airjordan223 Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 take a pic from the side how it is now, and leave the camera there and take a pic when your done so you can really tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CleanGSR Posted February 25, 2007 Author Share Posted February 25, 2007 Here's a teaser pic of my car with the winter wheels. Car's dirty so, sorry. I'll get better pics when I get the new wheels on and the car cleaned up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SolLesHonda Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 I can't see it on my comp at work! Edit: I see it now. Looks good. I think if you keep the winter wheels on you should drop the front a bit more. Looks great man. Tint your front windows as dark as your back ones too lol. Looks clean from the pic too.
