Steeda ultralite springs installed!

[derieuz]

First impressions, car is handling very good on michigan roads! I cannot go full out performance driving because I did paint my brake calipers as well, ended up being a little short on brake fluid after bleeding all of the air out of the lines, anyways!

Overall, a great compliment to the performance package, I am very happy that they maintained a linear rate instead of the progressive rates from others.

Went over a few super bumpy horrible gravel filled roads, car actually feels more comfortable for some strange and weird reason. Gave it a little gas on first gear and the car does not squat nearly as much and it does not nose dive nearly as much, swinging the steering wheel back and forth and the car does not act like its twerking anymore so that is awesome. I also installed the steeda subframe bushings as well, so maybe the two were a potent combo! Rear subframe braces are on the way so I'll give you a full Review of everything once they are all on and the car had an alignment, go pro video to come! Also, a teaser of the brakes I did myself

What did you use for the brakes? My left front brembos paint has started rubbing off and will need to paint soon and you did the color I want.

NIce job, looks good.

i used eastwood high temp ceramic engine enamel, its a two part paint that is good for upto 650 degrees, paint staying is all about paint prep, I spent about 2 hours on each caliper with a 90 grinder, some wirebrushes, and tons of degreaser/paint thinner/brake dust release agents. You need to get everything off that caliper or as much as possible for the paint to stick

Thanks for the review. I'm thinking about going with the combo myself, along with sway bars. I'm not a big fan of progressive springs.

What's the difference between these springs and the sport springs?

What's the difference between these springs and the sport springs?

Both are linear springs, although the Sport springs lower the car 1" all around whereas the Ultralites lower the car 1.125" in front and 1" out back. Also, the Ultralites weigh a little less.
