Default Coilovers installed

Some quick pics with the ST coilovers/swaybars installed. I haven't adjusted anything (height/alignment), but apparantly whatever I set it to was LOW. Looks good, but I'll end up raising it a little before I get it aligned. More pics and ride report soon.

st coilovers is a brand of KW suspension. the st line up is basically the KW v1 with a galvanized body instead of the inox stainless steel body. i don't really need the stainless body as we never have salted roads here and it doesn't rain much (glorious california!)

super secksy!

The rear end doesn't look like it shifted too far from the drop. Did it shift over to the driver's side?

The rear kind of looks like it's pulling a doggy style lol, although I kind of like a bit of rake personally. The front definitely looks low though, I'd raise it just so I wasn't quite as afraid of tearing the hell out of it when you encounter anything but completely even ground and roads!

Looks great though! How's the ride feel?

I like that stance alot, actually. Don't think it's too high in the back at all. It looks good with some health rake.
