Ikeya Formula *pics*

Finally last night at 01am i finished lowering the car and installing all the Ikeya Formula arms and links for the rear and front. And boy does my hands hurt, all the OEM stuff were so hard to get off, that i banged my wrists and hands on every gd damn thing in the wheelwell, non the less everything is installed
Now i just have to run down to get the car aligned again, just to be sure, i didn't **** up too much hehe











Cheers
Jan

Very cool, you'll have to let us know the difference when driving once the alignment etc has been done!

Add me to the interested in the results group!

I do wonder how much improvement is seen from the stuff being better designed and how much from it just being brand new.

Only negative thing is, i should have replaced the bushings in the front top link, they are still OEM and it would be alot better if they are all new bushings, well i think it would

One more thing after lowering it, the inside of the wheels rub against the inner liner when i turn and my Greddy extension downpipes are only about 8cm from the ground, so they tend to hit most speed bumps, so i might adjust it 10mm up.

Monday afternoon it will get aligned, but already now the steering is alot better, more firm, and ready to attack hehe.

Just got back from the workshop, and we ended up with these numbers:



Its alot more aggresive in the steering, and i have alot more traction on the rear wheels compared to before, i did how ever, lift the car like 10mm as it was a bit too low.

But over all i am very pleased with the results.
