are you serious? duh. im not raising the car anymore than it is now, just gonna make it work. sucka.

I await pix of installed before i like them or not.

Bio, any opinions on Tein Basic coilovers?

they'll be better than mine, that's for sure.

if i was buying new ones (i might next year) i'd get stance GR+ or BC BR.

I found a set for $500 OBO + 60 shipping..I'm thinking about it. I have better things to spend my money on right now but this seems like one of those deals that's too good to pass up.

i wouldnt never buy a used set of coilovers and im all about cheap parts. seriously, just pass.

4.3% Too Fast, When your speedo shows 60mph you'd be traveling 57.4mph

Sux about the wheels and the problems that arose but glad your getting a equally good looking set, can't wait to see them on, will be SEX

Just out of curiosity why do you say that? Excuse my ignorance, I don't know anything about suspension parts. They have 16K miles on them, the guy said he's selling them to get something stiffer.

if he is selling to get something stiffer i can only assume he rode them really low and wants something stiffer to go even lower. this means that in the 16k miles they were on the car they got ****ed up.

rebuilding a set of coilovers costs in the area of at least a few hundred dollars including you shipping them to the manufacturer. at that rate you might as well spend another couple hundred and get a brand new set. dont get me wrong, if he rode his car around on a 2" drop and just drove the car (no tracking of it) then they are probably fine. also, consider what car they were on and how often they saw the street. if they were on a DD all of the locking rings are probably frozen solid and you won't be able to break them free unless you break them off.

either way, its up to you. i just think it'd be more of a hassle than just buying a new set for $1100.

That all makes sense to me and that's enough reason for me to pass them up. I have better things to spend money on right now anyhow. I need to do some more reading on stuff like this. Thanks Bio.

since dave has been talking all about lowness and flushness i decided id put a tape measure up to my car today...

fender to center of wheel

F: 12.25"
R: 12"

front bumper from the ground ~4.5".

Ill measure the jeep here in a couple weeks

this is so much better painted body color:





soon to come: tinted tails, black vinyl roof, and awesome wheels.

That looks great color matched.

i actually like the spoiler now, nice going. i wanna see dem wheels man, which did you choose? maybe i missed it

You have holes in your trunk

yea that looks wayy better, i do good work
