323 lowered
 

My suspension work is done for now. I have (had) Drop Zone coilovers. Im an asshole so i took the sleeves out. Im just about tucking 13 inch steelies. Kinda low...

Go here and check out the tank.

good or bad, let me know what you think.

That's pretty low. Looks good, but how is performance? What kind of struts are you running? They'll probably give out pretty soon.

hahaha struts....they are so blown. Once i get some money im going to get them. I figured, they are shot now, so i might as well drop it as much as i can. The handling is crazy. I can take turns with speed and still control it. Its a bouncy ride though, my girlfriend hates it, but everytime i hop i get a smile.

hold on what are you using to drop the car, why it is so low

and do you have any full car pics ...
run out and take some

Bruce

Yeah, I can only imagine how bouncy it is with the blown struts.:D
When are you planning to replace them? What kind?
And finally, will you still keep it slammed with the new ones?;)

Damn dude, that is really low :)

nice lookin drop, what kinda fogs are those? :D they look pretty hot.

im gonna get KYB struts, the ones from Corksport. They are Drop Zone coilovers. The spring rests on a metal sleeve that turns to raise/lower it. i just took the sleeve out so the spring is resting on the perch. Im gonna keep it hammered once i get the struts.

The fog lights are made by Hella. They are bright as shit man. Theres two modes, full fog, and angel eyes. The angels are real cool, go to your local auto store they should have them.

Theres two more pics up now, full frontals. haha.
I work at car dealership so im getting it sprayed in july. Im hung up on what color. Subaru makes a black with red pearl that i like, im thinking about actually doing the olive drab, or red. We'll see.

a set of Rota Circuit 8's are on the way too.

hmmm, I am wondering if you should even bother to get kyb's or new shocks with the car that low, mainly because the they will go bad in no time ..
But then if you live in an are that has decent roads.. aka not new york, philly , or chicago ...
then you should be ok with the kyb ...
Great work, I am glad to see you modding your car

picture tip
 

try this ,, while it is still day light outside...
park the car in the middle of the street and turn the wheel out a little then get real close and frame the car in the camera window.. do this from the front and the back .. make sure you get down to the level of the car...
Try this from the front and the back

yeah yo circuit 8's are nice. they remind of the konig heliums. i like the heliums/8s and the rota GRIDS. ebay has pix of the grids. type in "rota grid"

Ya, the heliums are ok :p

pretty cool bro. What color are you eventually goin to pain the car? id say a dark blue or white pearl.

car looks good thou. take a pic of the car from the side and rear. and of the entire car. so we can see the real effect. :-p

im not sure about the color yet, maybe Nissan X Terra Green, Subaru Black with red pearl, or red, or pearl white. Im into the pearl white cuz i want gold rims.

yeah i know what you mean when you say that the ride is bumpy. i have the drop zone coil overs in my 91 pro. i'm about half an inch or so from tucking the top part of my 195/50/15's inside my front fender, i like how low it is. yet i didn't take the sleeves out, but i might do that just for fun. about a month after i slammed my car a friend tricked me to go over this hill fast and we caught air and then i landed it blew out my shocks. i hope to get some more this summer. maybe the E-spec kyb shocks. i'm sick and tired of hitting my head when i go over big bumps...


nice 323!!!!

The gold rims would look awesome with the black with red pearl.

gold rims are just plain cool. everyone is rocking gun metal or black nowadays and im sick of it. if i had the money id buy Mazdaspeed gold rims but i dont got $2000. JDM wheels would be hard though....

i like the car, a little too low for my liking, but its nice anyways. I like the color too, the current one that is :p.
Im not a big fan of the gold rims, and I am a fan, however, of the gun-metal.

olive drab is the shit.

Pink with flowers everywhere :D

Olive drab is the shit man. I wanna like do my valve cover that color. Black car, I want bronze wheels, and a nice Olive Drab engine bay..
