Are those the lowest the f and f type 1 go? And how is the ride?

They actually can go an inch lower.The ride is nice, better than stock imo. Less roll. Although taking potholes are unforgiving. Many people can attest that FF Type 1's arent so stiff when taking hits and are pretty soft on potholes.

Nice wheels! They look familiar...

I don't know when you got em, that you had em, it wasn't even a copy...

but, they are awesome (looking)

Thanks! Yes they are similar. The body style on the 6GA lends itself wheel to mesh style wheels & step lips.

Finally got the car aligned yesterday!
It was no easy task. After going to 3 different alignment guys in Miami the 4th, Miami Chassis, completed the job.
I couldn't be happier with the results. The coupe feels like an entirely different car.

I had Miami Chassis install an set of ebay camber arms, ingalls toe arms and new sway bar end links. (The rear and passenger side was cross threaded). It all came out to $230!

I know that neither the ebay or ingalls arms arent popular on 6GA but I decided to give it a shot either way. If they end up sucking in the long run, I didn't lose much ($120).

Specs:
-Camber Front:
• L:-0.53*
• R:-0.52*
-Toe Front:
• L:0.07
• R:0.07
-Camber Rear:
• L: -1.45*
• R: -1.73*
-Toe Rear:
• L: 0.03
• R: 0.02

Feels great to finally have a straight steering wheel.

How did I miss this thread!? Very x2 clean ride!

I've spent nearly a month of not being able to drive straight on freeways, and I can def understand your feeling when the work is done. (Missed my opportunities for the alignment 3 times as well.)

Keep up the good work. :thumbsup:

thank you! Yes, getting this car aligned seems like a pain to some shops. I feel that these shops are just plain lazy. Luckily, Miami Chassis was up to the task!

Yeah, especially when you're lowered + the bumper spoiler haha. I've finally found the place where they do all of the suspension-related service for custom vehicles, and I'm pretty happy as well. They're not cheap, but it's worth the price.

Does my car count? :hmm: (Still mesh tho. :p)

Nice CG!
Seems to be a popular wheel style. Mine are similar. (sig pic)

Of course! Your wheels compliment the coupe real nice
