Default LG coilovers installed

Well I got around last weekend to install my LG coilovers. I bought them used off a forum member Robert Miller(great guy). My first impression when I got the package was good. The coilovers looked to be well constructed but the the upper mounts could have used alittle beefer design. Mind you these are the first gen. LG coilovers they have made changes sense then. The reason I choose these coilovers was a balance between price and quality of the shock. I looked at my other coilover options and liked these for the Bilstein shocks. The install went well the only thing I had to buy was a 15/16 wrench for the big front mounting nut. It took me awhile to adjust them. When I got the coilovers they where backed all the way out. So it took a minute to find the correct ride height. The pictures I took of the car was the current height with the coilovers installed. Driving impressions where WOW! These make a big difference in handling in a good way. The car handles great with these set a general setting. I'm also running some drag radials in the rear. I have not yet ran these with my PS2's on the rear. This weekend I'm going to adjust them a little bit lower and install my PS2's. Thanks again to Robert Miller for a great deal .



Out with the old


Need to lower it a bit still


Next four corner balance and alignment.
