2 Chicks at the Same Time

Ok, not really. Two Vacations at the same time! While I was out ripping it up in Montana, I decided to give myself a little extra love and let someone else take care of some stuff on my GSX. So, when I left, I had a weak, mushy, stock suspension. Then, when I got back, I magically had a nice, tight, pimp suspension! Special thanks to LSE for getting this done for me in the time I requested and scheduling me in way in advance. Here's a few before and after shots (Tokico Illumina 5-way adjustables and Tokico progressive springs, btw):

Sorry, the car is black, so it's tough to see the difference. Looks like roughly a 1.75" drop, as advertised. Now a swaybar and a short shifter and I think she'll be ready for some laps up in Brainerd this spring!

Re: 2 Chicks at the Same Time

Suspension is a great mod on DSM's. Now just get some aftermarket anti-swaybars and you'll be in business.

Re: 2 Chicks at the Same Time

Yea, I did swaybars first on my 1G, so I thought I'd do it the other way around on this one to see how differenly they affected drivability. I gotta say, sway bars are going on very soon (relatively cheap, everyone should do this) and then I think it'll be set for a while (suspension wise).

JiggahMan, as you can see, my car is totally stock besides the suspension
