Just dont run over the grates. If you see a metal grate and hit it, it will not only fuck your strut up but itll probably blow your tire too. Just like the 350z commercial lol. Seriously. XDQuote:

Just swerve around em if you come up to one, because hitting it is NOT what you want to do lol.Quote:

geez, sounds like just hitting pot holes is a safer option
as long as u arnt going over 40ish then they arnt that bad. its just a a inch an a half steel plate
inch and a half of suspension travel sits my upper balljoints in my fender frame and lays the strut on bumpstop. i don't like the idea of the grates! but i've seen those things before. not cool at all.
and lol @ 2dr-sei. i love that commercial
i love geico's ads. my favorite one is "will geico save you 15% or more on your insurance? will a 10lb bag of flour make a relly big biscuit?"
tehehehehehe, hope you got home safe man
^Ditto was good meeting you. You definitely gotta come to the meet. and clear that paint!! If you want to extend your tophats and such...well do it at the meet if you want. :)
yeah i made it home no problems. 430 miles out of that tank of gas!
mo' fo' yo' viewin' pleasuhhhh.....
ok, so low on this car has limits i'm discovering. first off, constant bouncing because my strut is well beyond its range of motion. bottomed out without bumpstops at all. (top hat mod in near future)
but the big problem with ride quality was my upper balljoints bottoming out in the fender wells. sooooo....
pics will explain

then some seam sealer and body glaze
http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r...0416001601.jpg
some sanding...
http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r...0416001614.jpg
some primer...
http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r...0416001616.jpg
this is where my uca sits on level ground
http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r...0416001646.jpg
and i still have a bit of travel before the shock bottoms out completely. like i said, top hat mod soon. also doing prelude uca's and altering those so that the balljoint isn't binding at such a severe angle. then the only thing keeping me up will be the tires physically sitting on the fender wells, but the new wheel and tire setup should take care of that ;)
tire on fender action. had to roll them so i could turn the wheel. getting into parking spaces became a 5 point turn... no fun.
http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r...0413001847.jpg
and you'll notice that tire isn't white... yeah about those... got back from atlanta (barely) on these
http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r...0413001548.jpg
separated a belt about 80 miles from home and kept driving. carefully. mont eagle mountain on that sucker was un-nerving.
http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r...0413001518.jpg
so i grabbed some e30 steelies from the barn with decent tires on them and painted em tan. and yeah, i washed off the chalk. new look
http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r...0413001704.jpg
http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r...415001744a.jpg
but washing off the chalk just means i have a clean slate to work with!
http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r...0413002055.jpg
thought this was pretty hilarious... get it?
