Re: Help! Found massive hole in side of engine bay?!?!?
 

Install what! This is a major problem, no?!?!? Please someone tell me what this section of the car is for, I don't understand the problem? Will this hurt my gas mileage?

Re: Help! Found massive hole in side of engine bay?!?!?

Re: Help! Found massive hole in side of engine bay?!?!?

Re: Help! Found massive hole in side of engine bay?!?!?

Isn't suspension work fun? The TL is dropped as of saturday as well. Not fun.

Re: Help! Found massive hole in side of engine bay?!?!?
 

Suspensions?!?!? Is that what this is? I don't understand....DOES MY CAR HAVE SUSPENSIONS?

Re: Help! Found massive hole in side of engine bay?!?!?
 

Lay off the caffeine! What do you have going in the Evo now?

Re: Help! Found massive hole in side of engine bay?!?!?
 

Scheides are you forgetting to take your meds? lol

Re: Help! Found massive hole in side of engine bay?!?!?
 

This has to be a joke. Scheides only goes fast in a straight line and everyone knows upgraded suspension won't make you faster doing triple digits on the highway.

Re: Help! Found massive hole in side of engine bay?!?!?
 

Scheides has a great 9-5 job. He gets to show up drunk and post on message boards. Can I get an application?? :biggrin:

Re: Help! Found massive hole in side of engine bay?!?!?
 

haha... i can't wait to see where this goes!

Re: Help! Found massive hole in side of engine bay?!?!?
 

^im with you...

Re: Help! Found massive hole in side of engine bay?!?!?
 

Try 10:30-3...if he's busy. LOL

Re: Help! Found massive hole in side of engine bay?!?!?
 

can I has application too? no?

Re: Help! Found massive hole in side of engine bay?!?!?
 

Show up? What do you mean.... :)

Ok fine homos, I did this friday night/sat morning, after finishing the tail-light painting. Here's what I got:

Eibach pro-kit springs, decided to go for the gold at the cookout and just slap them on teh stock KYB struts. Turns out it was a good idea!

No cutting of stock bumpstops:

First off, let's take a look at that sexy, sexy stock ride height:

Ride quality is dramatically improved while cruising, and the car feels smoother AND tighter through the corners. No, this is not a hardcore track setup, but guess what? Like most other evo owners, I DD my car and I have a whiney wife. This is a perfect compromise for me, performance versus comfort. I wanted to do some MR bilsteins at the same time for the ultimate uber setup, but I have to say that these springs on the stock KYB shocks have really, really, really made a drastic difference for the good.

Special thanks to Modern Automotive Performance for getting these in my hands in like what, TWO DAYS? Pretty impressive, and the price was right.

See you at the cookout, bitches! :D

Re: Help! Found massive hole in side of engine bay?!?!?
 

Looks great and rides nice!

Re: Help! Found massive hole in side of engine bay?!?!?
 

Also, thanks Kracka and Kevin_1G_drummer for helping me with this impromptu setup. We finished the tails and I was like, 'so....ahh, what else you guys wanna do tonight?' hint hint.....:D

Re: Help! Found massive hole in side of engine bay?!?!?
 

Looks muuuch nicer than before and im sure she rides tight!

Re: Help! Found massive hole in side of engine bay?!?!?
 

You're welcome sir, looking good!

Re: Help! Found massive hole in side of engine bay?!?!?
 

Progressive rate springs? You pussy. ;)

Re: Help! Found massive hole in side of engine bay?!?!?
 

The drop looks good. Not too low, not too high. Nicely done!

Re: Help! Found massive hole in side of engine bay?!?!?
 

Looks good man.

But can i for real get an application. i work hard.

Re: Help! Found massive hole in side of engine bay?!?!?
 

Scheides has enough problems with dark people stealing his stuff. ;)

Re: Help! Found massive hole in side of engine bay?!?!?
 

Dude, I told you, you gotta get those holes welded up, otherwise your hood won't fit right! Hahaha The drop looks good.

Re: Help! Found massive hole in side of engine bay?!?!?
 

Can't wait to see it and get a ride.. this or something similar is prob my next mod...

Re: Help! Found massive hole in side of engine bay?!?!?
 

That drop looks good. But that garage floor is entirely too clean, and that has to be the biggest manufactured breaker bar Ive seen. Sure beats the 10' black steel tube I got :)

Re: Help! Found massive hole in side of engine bay?!?!?
 

Just took a cruise down to hastings last night, via downtown minneapolis. MN roads sure do suck, but damn I love the smooth ride of these progressive springs. They very subtly soak up cracks and bumps, but still let you really feel the road, as you should in an evo.

Visiting Dr. Forss today.

Re: Help! Found massive hole in side of engine bay?!?!?
 

Very nice. Jeff is an interesting guy, he aligned the TL yesterday. Didnt like that I was there 5 minutes late, got held up at work. lol So dont show up late scheides!

Re: Help! Found massive hole in side of engine bay?!?!?
 

Jeff is a nut, but he does great work for cheap!

One of the WRX shocks is blown and getting replaced under warranty...I should have them slip some ProKits on!
