Suspension install pics (finally)

[Matt Devo]

finally got all the pics from my suspension install last weekend together. A huge thanks to everyone from who came out and helped (or provided help virtually [saturnine and foo]).

before:
(on 19's and oversized tires, so not a perfect comparison)


after:
(18's and correctly-sized tires)


I do like the raked look, but will probably adjust the rears a little lower and the fronts higher to lessen the effect, though it is somewhat exaggerated by the slope of the pavement in the pic above

looks a bit better here:



tons more pics of the install etc here

I keep thinking whether to get 19" or 18" if I ever get rims...

but props to you, both look sick. Your ride is what makes me consider 18" rims...

Looks damn good man.

Why did you go from 19s to 18s?


Oh and the car looks great with the new 18s !

How can a guy with the good taste to own your A4 trip on a banana peal and get the ugliest shoebox on the planet, a Scion xB???

ride quality, tire replacement cost, and I just like the way 18's look better (w/o a lip anyway)

Looks good..

looks great matt.....personally i woulda stuck to 19s......i went from 17s to 19s and i dont notice any difference in driving whatsoever......but your car does a great job of making those 18s look big

Ahh.. Now that im back and posting under my name..

How is the ride?

[Matt Devo]

there's also a weight issue with the 19's - the 19's were 31-32lbs each, the 18's are 24lbs.

the ride is pretty much perfect - I'm glad I stuck with Stasis' preset values for the dampening. Definitely firmer than stock sport, but not anywhere near harsh. I might tweak the height a little though depending on how it settles over the next week or so.
