Alright...here it is. T1R coilovers installed. I borrowed the hoist in a friend's shop and installed the coilovers, the Stillen G3 Intake, and the EVO-R CF rear diffuser.

The coilovers was straight forward to install. You'll see a few pics at the bottom of this post. I lowered the car by about 1 1/2 inches front and rear. Got rid of the gap. After I get my CF kit and my aggressive wheels, I may lower it even more to achieve the stance I want, and then corner balance.

Sorry I don't have any pics DURING the installs as my hands were greasy and dirty...didn't want to hold my camera like that.

My first impression of these coilovers...well first of all, I have it adjusted to full stiff setting. It's just beginning the break in process, but initial thoughts are that these are great street coilovers. Easy for carving the corners, and with full acceleration the nose doesn't dip much. With the dramatically decreased body roll, the car reacts to left / right change of direction very fast. It makes the car a lot more responsive. Over bumps and rocks, it's very apparent. However it doesn't hop or jump. It swallows up the small bumps. Lets you know that it's there, but takes care of it. I like that. With some sway bars, this would be a great back road carving machine. I'm loving it.
