OK I finally got my coilovers, installed them yesterday, and took pics today.
I finally got my G4 coilovers yesterday, after a really long wait (a bunch of things like Chinese New Year stuffed things up). G4 are exactly the same as the D2 brand units, except that they are blue, not purple. I was planning to take more pics of the install but forgot and then was too dirty to want to touch my camera :\    So she got a much needed clean today and I got to take pics of the final result. She's looking sweet! Everything seems OK but I'll take it for an alignment and get them to make sure that everything is set up properly. Oh you can also see my brake calipers that I painted yelloow at Christmas time  The tyres are new also. 215/45/r17 Kumho Ecsta Sevens. They could be a little grippier but for the price they are good.     Enjoy! This post has been edited by Mangozac: Mar 27, 2008 - 5:28 PM |

I've got the D2 coilovers and I had the same initial reaction as you...that it's too hard, though the springs have softened out a bit since I installed the coilovers.
Give it a bit of time, Mangozac -------------------- |
