Drift Kit....finally *thumbnails*
Sunday, January 01, 2006 5:26 PM
Finally got the kit on. It's not completely finished, it still needs some refinement as far as fitment goes. And ya I know IT NEEDS LOWERED I'm still deciding on how I want to lower it. Air ride is in the running and is beginning to win....anyhow on with the pics, before and after full drift kit....

Before Kit:





After Kit:







Comments and criticisms welcome. Yeah it needs lowered, I'm aware of that

looks good but just be careful when you lower it. i had the same kit and even w/ my coils all the way up, i still bottomed the kit out alot

i like that color, and maybe some bigger rims would help out w/ all the bottoming out and the scrapin'?

Nope it won't i ran 18's with that kit with a 4 inch drop and if i didn't pay attention i would bottom out and hit all the time. One thing that I did that saved my kit was get black rubber or plastic mold put it on the front bumper and down the side skirts on the underneath. If you hit it will grab the plastic first.

Were did you get that drift kit at? Looks nothing like any drift kit I have ever seen. The part that is under the head lights looks really square. Same with the rear?

Thats a really good idea I hadn't thought of it. I'm already on 18s so I might give that a try.

Ebay (hence the quality), and I think it might just be the pics, I hadn't noticed.

I like.
To me, it doesn't look too bad not lowered.

noticed it too.. i think its something the maker did to make it stand out different from all the rest? Almost looks like it was originally for a different car
Looks pretty good. Slam that bish, Don't you know. If you can get your body kit touching the ground.. just make custom wheel skirts.. and say it "hovers"

Well, Starr you know how I feel about your car. If you lower it, you'll probably need bags that way u can lift it back up when u need to... I can't remember how many times I dragged my drift front when my car sat on stock suspension. At one point I was in the same situation you're in. If the roads in northern ky are anything like the ones in eastern ky, then I can fully relate.
Your kit is a little diff than any other drift kit I've seen. I noticed whenever u first posted pics of it on your car but it still looks great! Can't wait to see what you have planned next for it.

Raised it up and still hit the kit it sit too low and the lowest point is the back of the side skirts.

That's definately a different Mold. Take a side pic and compare it to other's on here.

It looks like it has a Bomex parkbench, but seating for people in the front too!

haha


But yea, right when I clicked on like the 3-4th pic i knew it was different.......weird looking kit ya have!


Also I was lowered on Goldlines and stock struts and maybe hit my right sideskirt one time while here in Atlanta. Once I lowered my car I didn't know why everyone was hitting things here on JBO?

But when I got to Seattle I almost ripped the front off, AND cracked both molds on the sideskirts BAD......

so it depends on where you stay I guess!
