Ok Ok, you can stop sending me PMs and hinting towards it in posts. Here are pics with the Koni/Eibach setup on my coupe. Koni's are top perch in the front and middle in the rear. I have no clue how long it takes to settle, so maybe it'll get lower. I don't know. The day it was done my dad was curious and he started measuring things between our Legends and it was 1 inch lower at that point. I didn't want it slammed or anything, just a slightly lower look, and that's what I got. You'll get better pics in the future, but these will have to do for now.

Don't drop it anymore. People don't seem to get that the Legend has wide wheel wells and when you drop too much you lose the symmetry of the top gap with side gap, making the car look stupid.

Drop looks good!

:bowdown: Now you're just about done. Very nice!

How do you have your front plate mounted. I cant find a license plate holder and wanna do the same. Pics would help too.

It'll never be done. They'll always be little things to do.

My front plate is mounted with two "L" shaped brackets, with the OEM bolts going into the OEM holes in the bumper. I got the idea from a thread posted by Chrisk a long time ago. He posted pictures of the bracket he used. He used one long thing bracket behind the plate, I just did it a bit differently and used two L shaped brackets. I made the measurements and my dad had one of his guys bend the metal at work. (Although they work with wood, I think they just pounded it while the metal was in a vice. LOL) It's basically the same concept as the "flip" method where you flip the OEM holder and use a few washers, but with this method I was able to "tuck" the plate further underneath the bumper for a sleeker look.

Thanks!!

Pat,

Looks great as always.

Any chance you can get a direct side shot of the car not on a driveway in daylight? I wanna get a feel for the drop on flat ground and in daylight to see if this is the set-up I wanna go with.

Also, do you mind driving to NY so I can feel how it handles potholes? Thanks.

You read my mind. *gets on mapquest*

32 hours, 2100 miles. Not bad! Just a tiny bit more than I did for NOPI. Maybe next summer

. Eric, I really would love to see your coupe in person. And Pat, how about another photo shoot with your car and Dad's car? The red and green combo would make for a great Christmas shot!

I know. LOL But having them clean on the same day, and being home before it's too dark during this time of year is kinda hard. LOL Maybe this weekend..hmmmm.

Hey Pat,

Have you take your coupe with the new suspension over any bad roads....with dips, potholes etc.?

If so, how was the ride quality?

Thanks.

There are lots of bad roads in WA and taking any car over them sucks. LOL You do feel the bumps more, but it's not bad enough to not do it.
