Wow,
so you took out the front bumper,
no wonder your lips installed very nice (while some other people lips had some kind of uneven "wave" on it).
I guess it make it so much easier to install if you took out the front bumper off.
Thanks Again for the picture

 

Anytime!

 

Got myself a new mirror

 

Looks like we're both getting ready for firstclassfitment

 

Haha, yeah. I actually tried to buy the Buddyclub N+ coilovers early August. Went thru 3 sites and they all told me that its out of stock from the manufacturer. I talked to Buddyclub earlier this week and they told me I'd have to wait another 4-6 weeks. Hopefully i'll have them before FCF

 

nice I actually was thinking of going with coil overs as well too but did not want to spend the money for it so I just decided to do the eibach springs instead for now which will give more of a drop than the swifts

 

I did think about going with eibach as well but because i always switch back to stocks for winter and the tires on the stock rims are very meaty, I want to be able to adjust the height. It's especially a problem when I have to go to NY while snowing. Plus with springs i can't really get to the fitment I desire.

 

I hear ya man, coil overs are the way to go, I was one click away from ordering form/function coil overs, but I changed my mind. Down the road I'm sure I will be doing the switch to coils. Can't wait to see it slammed

 

TKE,

Thanks for that info... but can you specify like what it is called in Lowes? Is weather stripping or something? which dept did you get it in?

I like your Thule and the wheels look sick.

The brand is Frsot King and its called "garage door bottom seal" nail on hard rubber. Make sure it is hard rubber cause most of the product look alike and some are really foamy and you don't want that. I went in lowes and asked for garage door seal and the was told which isle it was in.

Here's a picture I found online.



Hope this helps!

Did a mini photoshoot with Fitdeez after dinner.

 

First rolling shot after installing Buddyclub N+ . On the way to Canibeat First Class Fitment.

 

Damn, Fitdeez is always playing w/ new wheels and looks. I can't keep up! It's a good thing though. W/o people like him we'd be stuck on "what is this sound coming from under my hood?", or "will these wheels fit?"

 

Dug up some pictures from October 2013. Me and liverpoolfcfan







@Fitdeez doing his thing.

 

As of April 2014

Buddy club N+ needs to be replaced. Back on oem shocks and swift springs for now. Too lazy to put the summer wheels back on.



Feeling a little artsy in the streets of South Philly.

 

I hope my new coilovers get here before Freshmeet.

 

If you don't mind me asking, why? How many miles did you have on them?

 

I bought my original set of buddy club used from this forum. It had 2 previous owners and they both tracked it according to the guy who sold it to me. He warned me one of the struts is worn but not blown yet so if i was driving only on the road and not tracking I'd be fine. I knew it was a bad idea to buy used moving parts especially ones that were abused but at the time of purchase buddy club didnt have any new ones in stock so i went the desperate route and bought them. I hit countless pot holes over the winter and coilovers blew within half a year after I got them.
Also one of the rear's threading is stripped and had to use a different bolt to hold it so it was uneven in height. And when i had them taken off i found out the fronts got damaged too. Probably came lose over time. Front threading got grind down.
Rebuilding is 160 for each front and 125 for each rear plus shipping and $60 for each spare part. Im already looking at 810 for rebuilding and a new set isnt that much more.

that hurts did you get new ones?
