  1. Finally figured out the picture thing so here they are. The new BC Racing coilovers Before, 3.6R sitting on Swift Sport springs and factory struts A comparison of the two different rear units Rear coilover installed Front installed, camber plate After I did lower the front just a touch more after the initial install. And today I got the alignment done. Its a nice mix of fun to drive, yet decent tire wear. Though the alignment tech did suggest a set of new, rear, adjustable arms. I told him I would like to wait and see. I'm still messing with the dampening to find a happy, every day, city driving, happy wife and cushy spot. I know where the mountain driving, hammering the corner spots are! There is a lot of range in these dampers that I haven't even tried yet! So far I'm liking the ride and getting used to not having to worry about bottoming out on everything.
  2. Yes the coilovers have camber plates on the fronts.
  3. So today I installed my BC Racing coilovers. It all went in without a hitch. So much easier to install preassembled coilovers rather then having to compress springs and doing it all myself like I did last time with the stock struts and Swift springs. Anyhow, the new coilovers are an absolute dream! And are wife approved! I raised the car back up a bit to give it more ground clearance. With the sagged out springs and wasted struts the car was way too low and scraped everything everywhere! The kit came from BC Racing with 7kg/mm springs for the front and 6kg/mm springs for the rear. And its seems to be a nice solid, but not overly harsh ride. Defiantly stiffer than the Swift springs I took off. And with the easily adjustable dampers I can adjust all sorts of performance in or out. Its so nice! I think I'm going to like these a lot! I do think I need to drop the front end just ever so slightly more, but its so damn close now. After the holiday I'll take the car in to get a proper alignment. With the car raised up some, they should be able to get it to within specs. Is there anything else I need to have them do to the coilovers that is different than a standard coils on struts sort of suspension? I took a bunch of pictures and was going to post them up here, but I can't seem to do it. They are hosted on my Flickr account, but I'm not sure how to do that anymore. It's been a while and I've forgotten how to do that.
  4. And the Swift spring upgrade you guys are talking about isn't the same as the standard Swift Sport springs that I currently have on my 3.6R are they? Swift springs designed for these Coil Over kits, right? I haven't been around in a long time, work, life and cameras have been consuming my spare time. But this is interesting. Glad to see others finally making stuff for our cars!
  5. The 20% tint looks good on our cars KSpan. I did the same to mine right after I got the car in Feb. 2011. Cops haven't bothered me about it it either because of the light colored interior. Now if it were a black interior, that would be different. Again, it looks great!
  6. Hmmm... That purple is really kind of cool. Very-Super-Fly-Swanky-Cool actually. And probably easier on the eyes than the blue.
  7. I've been wanting one of those spoilers for a long time. Ikonosin's car has one and it looked great and something I've wanted to replicate for a while. Just haven't gotten around to it. maybe I'll get one now. Same as Russki, I want to know where you ordered yours from.
  8. I took this on my Blackberry Bold last Fall and then when it got transfered to my new phone (HTC Amaze 4G) I proccessed it in that phone and then uploaded it to my Flickr account via the phone. It actually came out pretty good. http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7021/6666961433_dde7ec0a47_z.jpg
  9. Women! You can't live with them... well, lets just leave it there.
  10. You know, I wanted those girls, but if you notice in the back ground of the wider shots, there is snow on the ground and I was in a long sleave shirt. But mostly my wife looks down on me hanging out with girls in bikinis for some reason. She really needs to get over that!
  11. The rims get done after the body is done. And then the wash mit gets thrown into the washing machine. I used to have a sepperate wheel mit, but my son used it for something else and ruin it. Thanks guys!
  12. A video about my SWP 2011 3.6R just to prove that it does get dirty from time to time. Enjoy!
  13. That is the first set of Super Tones that I've like on our cars! But after lowering my car and driving it through a few of the early season snow storms, I doubt they would survive on my car in the Colorado snow. Love the roof! I want to get that done on mine too.
  14. BADASS Ken! Yeah, I would raise that rear end a bit too. It just doens't look right to me. And you might even get slightly better steering response if the car has a bit of forward rake to it. And at that hieght you might even scrap something if you and 3 of your buddies go out looking for GF's one night. Then you'll be scrapping rock bottom if you get a GF. And I'm not talking about your car either... "No Mods for you! Take me to dinner NOW!"
  15. That's why I did this a while back. The price of the kit and the installation of that kit is crazy! Crazy price and crazy installation. You have to tear apart most of the interior of the car to put the factory kit in. It's been a while since I've done this and it is still working perfectly. I've been thinking recently that maybe I do want a foot well light also. I'll need to find some power that I can steal down there too I guess so that the lights come on with the rest of the interior lights. I bought extra LED blue lights back when I did this and they have been laying there waiting.
