Well as you all know I slammed my car. I actually liked it. Car looked fricken sweet. Well anyways since I'm going to bet taking an internship offer with Capital One over the summer I decided I will be able to afford a few track weekends. So guess what? I raised my car.
It was a long struggle and battle as everything was seized and ran into problems getting the rear to sit right. Well probably about 12 hours later I almost have the car perfect. I worked on it all by myself as I have a road trip up to MD tomorrow for the weekend as it is my brother's wedding so I wanted it done ASAP as I was getting an alignment done tomorrow at noon.
Anyways. Got the car back up to about a decently snug 2 finger gap in the rear along with a slightly snug 2 finger gap in the front. Around a 1.25" drop. Need to lower the fronts maybe a 0.25" and also drill out the top are with a hole saw so I can add more camber using the camber plates.
No pics cause much wheel gap. Car feels way way way way way better. Running 18/36 for the dampers front and rear. Soaks up bumps and the car just feels more responsive, smoother, and just good.
I can't wait to get back on the track though and actually have several sessions with an instructor to improve. Going to be super fun. Will be upgrading the brake fluid before I get back on the track other than that I'll replace brakes when they need replacing. Don't think I'll be doing too many more mods right now unless it is for track safety.
