my daily is now stance'd - Gene - 03-06-2009
Here's my daily beater. There was a forum group buy on some fk coilovers. Now I just need it corner balanced and aligned.
Before with some cheap ebay springs and blown shocks/struts

After the coilovers (the rear needs a little more drop and the front still needs to be raised) But so far no issues with rubbing.

That's dropped quite a bit. Looks like you could have issues with the tires rubbing on the fenders. Especially in the front when turning at any kind of decent speed.

I did raise it up a about an inch in the front today just so i can clear speed bumps. Overall no rubbing issues unless I'm at full turn on the inner wheel well due to runner a slighty larger tire.

Looks good with the nose dumped like it was in the second picture, Did you see any difference in handling between the coilovers and the previous set-up?

There is a lot less body roll. The Geometry is a little messed up due to the amount of drop, so the front wheels are toe out and the camber is way negative, so the car is a little twitchy. Once I have it corner balanced and aligned, the handling should improve. but as it sits now it does handle very well for what it is.

Aint' that the truth. I just sold a ton wheels for fobdys, 17x11s, so maybe they won't go through the tires so fast

Just kidding, its wheel/tire off of my 52. GM and BMW share a close enough bolt pattern 4.75 to 4.72 and with the tolerances of aftermarket parts, the wheel bolted (lug bolted) right up to the hub
