^^^

Was going to leave the bumper on but did not feel like putting it on once I got of the trailer. And I am not leaving the wheels on cause I would have tore up those tires. But don't worry I have some sick wheels that I'm going to use for drifting.

And yes this was my first time, but got the hang of it pretty fast. Did not think I could do 3rd gear entries.. Practice Practice Practice

some help/suggestion guys. looks like i'm looking at getting some coils....might pull the trigger on an exhaust system though...but coils are getting to me.

i have no clue on coilovers wtf haha. what is the diff between brands here....i see they tlak about dampening and more dampening features etc but wtf? i just want some coils to drop the car (aesthetics) and stiffen it up but nothing to hardcore and looking to spend no more than $1,200.

having said that i am looking at :

- Stance GR+ ( http://intensepower.com/stgrconi3709.html )

is Stance good??

I co-sign Stance all the way. They are one of the best suspension brand out there in my opinion. They will def get you lower then 90% of the brands out there and you can control the stiffness on the front and the rear.

DO IT!!

Eric has had coils since John went back to OEM! He was just being modest with his current drop but is coming out with something thats gonna blow Edafe and I away!!

Proper stance on the 370 is gonna be sick! If you need some help with the install or a warm garage holla at me!

wait a minute here.......to get within spec "yes" you will need at bare minimum a rear adjustable camber arm and the spc toe bolt for the spring bucket arm - if you lower your car about an inch or more.....

With the way you have your car set up RoyalT you don't "need" any camber kit cause your going for major angled/hella flush camber set up...but you will likely eat tires like a crazy person on the inner rubber...

How were your tires at the drift event.....even wear across or only on the inside?

I totally agree with you, just wanted to let him know it's not needed right away, and I don't think he is going as low as me so we shall be ok.

But as for even wear across my tires when drifting, Hell No. I eat through those tires like they where a kids happy meal. That is way I'm about the buy some Battleversions toe and camber links. have to fix that asap tires are too damn expensive for that.
