Help me pick a Body kit

[TickleTimeTim]

Also, will sedan coil overs fit on a hatchback?

[TickleTimeTim]

Kaminari is about $500 shipped. Looks good. Can't find any pics of the back lip. Anyone have pics of it or deatails on the ease of installation?

Im on Megan coilovers. The fronts are the standard spring and configuartion included I have not modified them and they still can go another .5-.75" lower from what you see there. In the rears I have swapped many different springs in to go as low as I want and as stiff as I want. I finally landed on some 130/6k springs also purchased from megan. That is 60mm shorter and 3kg stiffer than what comes with the megan kit. I have run those springs on the stock perches and that gets me real low but with the 15s pictured above I left all the hardware. If you go with a new set of megans you can pick whatever spring combo you want it to come with just talk to Jeff, he even beats Megans direct pricing.

I also am on 15s with 165/50 federals in those pics so that is a tiny rolling diameter which brings you super close to the ground. I was only .5" from subframe to ground. If you go with bigger wheels/tires you wont have to be as low as me and can still achieve the look.

Here is a pick of my car with larger wheels/tires and still hella stanced.

OR you can get on Forza 4 and look at some of the kits on that game.. The kaminari and C-One is on it

That lip kit looks better everyday. I may pick up the lip kit and a hood from Garm, then get coil overs when I save up again. I can sell my lowering springs when I'm ready for the coil overs. So if I went with wheel spacers, what's the recommended wheel width for decent stance.

Haha define decent. That gold setup is 17x9.75 +25 the pics from v2labs were 15x8 +10 w/ 3mm spacers. I dont think either of those setups were wide enough.

[TickleTimeTim]

I'm thinking more of the 3mm setup with +10. G-Ammo what is your setup?

17x9.75..? How do you turn without rubbing lol. I would love to have 17x9

Rolled/pulled fenders, wicked stretched tires (205/40 on 9.75), and a lot of trimming of body panels and hardware.

Ok, so first pic is of my rear bumper behind the tire. Behind that part is a giant pocket where rocks and dirt like to gather over time adding a good bit a weight to the rear bumper causing alot of stress and if not mounted properly will cause the clips to crack or break.

second pic is of my sideskirt. you dont have alot of material to drill into for the side skirt so you gotta locate it very carefully. Mine have been thru hell and back. I will probably end up getting new ones.

third pic is how I finally mounted my side skirt to the rocker panel (think that what you call it) I originally used double sided 3M tape but It wouldnt hold up. Rocks were getting between my door jam and the side skirt as you can see the gauges going straight up in the middle of the side skirt where rocks would get under the side skirt and my door would ride against it and destroy the fiberglass. I ended up just screwing it down with some screws as you see. Wish I did that to begin with.

hope this helps

[TickleTimeTim]

that does help, thank you.
gonna order kaminari lip kit tomorrow and hope the install doesn't involve too many new screw holes.
funds were a bit miscalculated, so a few days after that i should be clear to order a hood from garm. when all comes in ill post pics.

[TickleTimeTim]

The kaminari lip kit has been ordered. Now I'm off to search for an install thread.

[G-Ammo]

I have BC racing coilovers with 15'' Rota Grid V's ET25... no spacers or anything. I do have front camber, but just a little bit (don't want to change tires every 5000 km's, haha)... I have Nankang 185/45/15 on the Rota's, not that much stretched though :).

Lemme know if u wanna know more :D

[TickleTimeTim]

I found some really cheap coil overs for a sedan. Any luck I can throw them on the hatchback?

[1.5]

[G-Ammo]
