The Other Eibach Kit

[2000SE]

Say goodbye to wheel gap. It's the Eibach Sportline kit. The drop I would say is about 1.7-2 inches or so. At the sideskirt, the car is 5 inches off the ground.

And yeah, I know I'm rice.

From this:

To this:

No more haze!

good drop. mine looks like that. but only because i have 160k on my stock suspension.

 

[RawBurt]

Why not use that money on some paint first?

Same reason you had a turbo car with POS headlights. Priorities.

bwahahahahahahahahahahahaha TODD FTW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

yeah, that was pretty funny.

I think it needs different wheels, those ones are too busy looking, some paint and it would look pretty clean, I like the Eibach springs, I had a set of the sportlines on my SE and they rode like stock but handled brilliantly.

ride height looks nice, and so do the headlights. are u using Sylvania Silverstar ultra turn signal bulbs?

I doubt it would be about you if you didn't throw stones in a glass house.

Indeed i am.

As far as paint, I'm saving as we speak. That on top of my graduation funds will be put toward some spray for the kit and possibly the rest of the car. As far as the wheels go, I wouldn't mind stepping up to something similar to what Blu Fuz has on his pre-98, but money is always an issue when you work at a surf shop and have to start taking responsibility for yourself in the real world.

Oh and RawBurt, $80 bucks for the springs wouldn't buy me paint. :laugh:

Are the tires undersized, or has it not settled yet, or what? It looks like it sits higher that mine with the pro-kit springs. I thought these were supposed to be REALLY low?

 

[AliasJerk]

whats going on with the middle of the front bumper? it looks bent.

 

[2000SE]

Nope, 215/45/r17's. They only have 15 k on them as well as the shocks only having 12k. Could be a factor. That's the reason why i didn't replace the struts while i was under there. I figured why should i spend money on BAT's when all 4 corners were done a few weeks before the car was purchased.

Alias - Probably a combination of camera angle and poor fiberglassing done by extreme dimensions. If i had the money I would go back to stock SE parts, but I'm sort of past the point of no return now.

 

[Tex]

I'd say it's probably an optical illusion between the offset of the wheels and the 215 tires. I noticed a big difference on my other SVT with 225s when I had 17" wheels. Hell, maybe mine are sportlines and i just didn't know it. Looks good, now get some pictures in the light.

You've got the pro kit, Robert.

Somehow, I knew you'd find me. :laugh:

I'd only expect as much from you.
