[QUOTE="Thalilbear02, post: 15100391, member: 144891"] And here's the reason for selling the Airrex. I've decided to go in another direction with the car and transforming it into more track than street. The #1 thing to consider when doing that is to start with a solid base, and the solid base here is Eibach's Multi-Pro-R2 Coilover with customized spring rates. Inside the box is a pristine and gorgeous coilover set up with external reservoirs to keep temperatures low so that I don't have to worry about a shock that could overheat on the track. I've decided to swap out spring rates from what the kit normally comes with to a 700lbs/in front and 300lbs/in rear which as you can tell is pretty extreme, but then again that's what I've always wanted to do with this car, bring it more into the extreme. Here's what it looks like to get inside that box: [ATTACH=full]665562[/ATTACH] Second set of customized springs and camber plates, which are gorgeous, I got more pictures below: [ATTACH=full]665563[/ATTACH] Inside the big box are individualized boxes with different components: [ATTACH=full]665564[/ATTACH] Inside one of those boxes I have a pair of the rear shocks along with the external reservoirs: [ATTACH=full]665565[/ATTACH] Inside another individual box, one of the front coilovers. Decided to take it side by side along with the pre-installed spring, vs the one I'm planning on installing: [ATTACH=full]665566[/ATTACH] You can see clearly the difference in how beefy the 700lbs/in spring is compared to what's normally installed. Eibach was telling me that the springs that are currently installed on the coilover are meant to cater towards the track day warrior that still daily drives their car. I don't daily mine so I didn't need anything that leaned more towards driver comfort, I wanted to go all out: [ATTACH=full]665567[/ATTACH] The quality/detail of this coilover is pretty outstanding. I've had KW's before, and KW's quality funny enough doesn't come close to these (I say funny enough because I've always held KW in very high regard having V3's as you notice in this thread, and V2's on a previous project): [ATTACH=full]665568[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]665569[/ATTACH] Top hats that come standard with the kit, pre-installed: [ATTACH=full]665570[/ATTACH] The design of these camber plates really caught my eye. I love the detail in the Eibach logo on the camber plate, and the ease of use looks substantially easier to use than the previous camber plates I've had in the past. Big congrats to Eibach on these, they are absolutely gorgeous and phenomenal looking: [ATTACH=full]665571[/ATTACH] More updates will come later, I plan on getting these installed on 12/4 and I'll make sure to update this thread with more info and my thoughts when that comes :) [/QUOTE]
