Help with my suspension...

As soom as my packages come in, does anyone want to take a full day and help me install everything?

Helix DNA Coilovers
Whiteline F+R sways
Whiteline Endlinks
Whiteline anti-lift kit
EDIT: I got the Kartboy shifter with bushings combo also

 

where you planning on installing???

I may be able to help, but my Saturday's are full for the rest of the month.

 

Wow those mods sounds really nice....

So how much did those cost? *wink* (wheres our simlies?)

 

u can count me in too:werd:

 

OK, we're backed up at work for about 3 more weeks (7 days a week) so it should be roughly a month, the coilovers won't be here for probably another 3 weeks also. Everything else should be here this week sometime. It'll be about 1,600 for everything, not too bad considering some coilovers are 1600 alone...

 

I would make sure you have some sort of basis for corner weighting your car. You need to make sure that your side to side corner weights are close to the same. Otherwise you are going to kill one sides tires faster than the other. I know Scott can do this for a decent price, and I would definitely suggest it to make sure they are set up properly. There are ways you can make a rough estimate if you already know what your corner weight is. You can just compensate by lowering or raising the height slightly.

 

Reminds me, i'm getting some springs and sways in, if you don't mind I would wish to install them sometime soon...prob during your suspension install

However, I won't be free for another 2 weeks due to final exams...if this goes down after that, I'll see if i can drop in...

 

Why don't we just make it a mini install day? I'm going to take measurements off of a fixed point at all four corners and do a rought setup. I'll go to SOG the next day for the corner weights and 'performance' alignment.

 

cool, when and where? :ddirty:

 

I can help you out also if needed Greg...

Sounds nice! I'm also buying UP, but I'm not sure when that will come in...

 

i love install days, they're so much fun

 

Yeah, lets definately set up a day. I may be able to get a space in Gainesville, but that may be too far for some of you. 'Timberwolf''s dad owns a customizing shop here in town, and they have a few spots...

 

I'm up to help. Won't have anything to install though

 

Greg, do you have stock STi suspension now? How many miles are on it? I'm sure it's a lot better then stock WRX. Do you want to sell those? If possible, I'd like to take a ride in someone's STi with stock suspension to see if it's stiff enough for my taste. I have a gf to worry about who doesn't like too harsh of a ride. So going to a STi shock/spring might be just the right thing for me.

Thanks man.

 

Well my uppipe is in, It needs the studs to be put into it (studs included) has instructions on installation. EGT fix...but I have an AP, doesn't that fix it anyways?

Springs will be coming in Tuesday and not sure about the sways..

Is this going down before or after Christmas (prob after since thats when we have all our presents)

 

There is someone who has already asked for the stock suspension, but if that falls through, I'll let you know.

 

Did you guys ever do this? I would be interested in helping out if I can, plus I would get a chance to meet with you guys especially the ones from the Greater Metro Atlanta(Gainesville).

well if I had only found this site earlier.
How many people are up in the gainesville area?

I know this probably the wrong thread to put this in.

David

 

I'd say somewhere under 10 or so. Probably around 5ish.

 

Hey, sorry, I haven't been watching this thread. Yeah, I got everything installed except the rear endlinks, short shifter, harness bar and harnesses, and the hood dampeners
