jackacc Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 Here is my 2.5i wagon with JDM GT wagon Bilsteins all around. The rear springs are pinks and the fronts are Tanabe's. Nice even drop and handles EXCELLENT compared to stock. The ride is stiffer but not uncomfortable at all, I highly recommend this setup. Thanks to Unclemat for hooking me up with them and to whitetiger for installing them! http://www.jacktevnan.com/images/Legacy/lowered/lowered1.jpg http://www.jacktevnan.com/images/Legacy/lowered/lowered2.jpg http://www.jacktevnan.com/images/Legacy/lowered/lowered3.jpg http://www.jacktevnan.com/images/Legacy/lowered/lowered4.jpg JDM GT Bilsteins (F-Tanabe R-Pinks) JDM RSB - Modded Kartboy SS - Subaru Momo Knob Subastyle Grille Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gire Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 Great looking drop. Kudo's to what looks like a fantastic DIY grille too. The chrome rings works well with teh 06+ headlights. I can't wait to get some big rims in the spring to fill out the wells in my ion dropped wagon. Glad to hear that a multi-vendor set up works so well... I wouldn't have thought to do that. Unclemat seems to be a serious wagon / suspension dude. Great to hear it all worked out! Your car is not helping me wait 'til spring!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VTGT Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 What revision blisteins are these? How does she handle now? Sways and tires? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackacc Posted November 21, 2006 Author Share Posted November 21, 2006 Thanks for the nice comments everyone! Gireland, the grille was done by subastyle. Great job and very reasonable price! What revision blisteins are these? How does she handle now? Sways and tires? These are the original JDM GT Bilsteins (Rev A I guess) I do also have a JDM rear sway and the car handles like a go kart. Body roll has been eliminiated when really pushing it around a corner. Dive and squat has also been drastically reduced. Sure, the ride is a little rougher than before but I am used to it from all the cars I have lowered in the past. I like a tight ride with lots of control. It's not unbearable by any means. On the highway, I forget I even have upgraded suspension. Only on rough roads, the car feeds back alot more of the road conditions. I think the JDM Spec B's are even tighter which would be great too. This setup was well worth it and I am very happy the wheel gaps are even all around.

Gire Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 As noted a hundred times before this... the iON springs lower the back to a more Bimmer-Euro stance where the lower arch tucks the rear wheel more than the front, even thought the stance is completely straight and even... I love it, others have hated it. Good to see a set up thats perfectly balanced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vet Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 Looks very business like/European. How much of a drop did you get from that setup? What size wheels/tires are you running? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pdw Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 heh, I have GT Bilsteins from Unclemat also. I'm just waiting for a set of Pinks before I install them. Looks very nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitetiger Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 those rear springs really kept the rear equal to the front ride height. best combination of springs ive seen for the looks department on a wagon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
