Need to see the hooked up wagons!!!!!!! Volume-2

Maybe it's the driveway angle, but methinks you need a bit more saggy butt spacer. I do too, to be fair. I mean, my car does.

 

I still had the stock wheels/snowtires in the back so that's partially it too. Traded my 19inch summer tires from my 5thgen for these. Tire is a 225/45 nitto motivos, sould get me through summer and up to next snow season. So far I can tell they're heavier in the steering wheel feel but I can throw it around more without loosing the backend. Not like my 2.5na has much balls to do that often anyway :lol:

wow, indeed it does. Wheel specs?

 

Thanks!

 

18x8.5 + 38 I think. tires that came with it are 235/45/18, too tall of profile for the height, rub too much. Switching to some 225/40/18's a friend of mine is getting rid of, that should help

It figures, the entire week after I mount my Dunlops it rains to the point of flooding. I put the Continentals back on tonight. Snagged this shot at a small lake by work. There's a boat launch and some small fishing piers under there somewhere!

@ MTB have you done any fender work yet?

 

Nope, haven't touched the bodywork a bit. I don't really rub at all with the 245/45 setup. Whereas I rub at specific steering angles and loaded up in the back with the stock setup. I still haven't driven it full of people yet. Between me and four of my friends we could easily add another 1,200lbs to any vehicle. :lol:

I know:(. The unfornate thing is the previous owner never had a key for the pin that holds in that extension. It's hit a few speed bumps when I first got it and taken a beating. I went to a locksmith and it's too rusted/salt/etc on the inside to have the tumblers align for him to pick it. Need a cutting wheel at this point, not sure how to go about it.

Did see a 2.5i wagon hauling a uhaul trailer yesterday so that gives me some confidence that if I get a little 12-14ft aluminum boat this summer I could tug it around. Access points to water here are easily accessible. If I lowered it on springs I think it would say too much and rub, whereas coils are bit firmer and I can turn to the hardest setting in the rear for occasions of me doing a slight tow with even a motorcycle or smaller type trailer.

How are those Tiens? I've been wanting to try the Tien Flex Z.

It's my first set up so I don't have much to compare to ...

 

Also my OEM shocks, tires and OEM wheels were so shot I feel like I'm driving on air. All the warnings about coilovers and going lower etc are lost on me since it feels waaaay better

 

That bein' said

 

I like. The main difference is incredibly better control and stability under really hard cornering and turns. Amazing. Comfort is agreeable. Bumps and whatnot are a mild jolt not bad. Recently drove a friends legGT on Bilsteins and I preferred that for ride quality but, very happy with Tiens

Hard to beat the Bilsteins for overall excellent handling and ride comfort. Just match them with a proper spring combination that can handle the Bil's superior dampening/control.

Getting there. Swapped in some painted obx tails. Before getting flamed yes I upgraded the bulbs. Heads been turning to decide if I want to lower it or not next

 

How's that 2" hitch receiver extenions working for you? Presume you're not putting too much tongue/trailer weight on the 1.25" hitch. ;)
