Minnesota Meet Thread Options

[RUNNIN-LOW]

yeah i had to grind the passenger side motor mount for the motor to fit in right but all in all it work out pretty sweet...

[ZGear]

Agreed......Minnesota cars are a bish to take of the springs.....Took me and Will about 6 hours....The fact that we were just fooling around driving to AutoZone and back 6 times and then driving my car half lowered with the rear up high to Hypertek. Great times. May as well get new endlinks "stabilizer bars" while your changing your springs. $30 a peice and you only need the rear ones.

hellz yeah. If the suspension was never touched by anyone its best to buy end links for our old ass cars.

Update, got my stage 4 clutch on and tranny back on the motor. OMG its a biatch when you don't have a tranny jack. You end up bench pressing that thing while the motor is on the lift lol....

Got them in. Links came out like butter. I took the them off from the back instead the fronts.

Now lowered and riding on sportmaxs

[block]

what about pictures? you can't just tease without pictures man, that's just rude!

[99GT]

My sister took the camera haha...

[Guyver]

Anyone going to midway tonight

[99GT]

Here you go Kou.

[99GT]

NO rubbing what so ever dude. Although not as low as I pictured but we will have to wait a month or so for it to set.

I'm riding on 205/40/17 Khumos

[block]

did you drive the car afterwards? if so, that's about it as it'll settle only a TINY TINY bit. i kind of wished it was lower, it would of looked nicer but you can't go wrong. what was the drop rate joe?

[99GT]

2.2" in the front and 1.5" in the rear.

[Muggs]

Hey 99gt, I spotted you driving on Uni tonight, I waved but I don't think you saw me.
The new wheels look pretty mean, great color combo.

[99GT]

I looked everywhere for another 6gen but didn't see any. I was with my grandpa from Wis, I was cruising to show him around. He's more into roadsters and muscle cars so we headed down to Porky. I was only there to pick up my little bro haha.

[tjblacrosse]

you guys should of hit up vandalia with me. ppl still came out, it stopped raining, road dried a good amount after the burnouts. i was hoping to see other 6gen!

[99GT]

is there anything special i should kno about doin celica springs, cuz for the civics the trick in the back is to remove the entire rear lower control arm with the shock, that way u dont strip the head off the bolt holding the shock to the control arm....anything like that on celicas *note--havent even looked at the rear suspension on the celi yet--
wat is a good stabilizer bar to get?

[ZGear]

Well since all cars are not the same.....you might have a hard time with your endlinks or you might not. Depends if the bolt wants to come off or not. You either take the endlinks off the control arm and take off the whole strut assembly, like I did and not use my old strut because Will stripped my allen key hole insert on the bolt. Or you take off the bolt from the strut assembly leaving it hanging from the control arm and take off the strut and replace your springs like 99GT "slipped off like butter". I'm pretty sure it's set-up almost the same as civics.

I pretty much went with the the middle of price-wise. Not sure if there's any difference in the quality of what you pay for.

[top_projects05]

It is easier than a civic!

[bccentaur3]

The easiest car I've ever lowered was an is300. The 06 accord wasn't bad either though.
