Uhh, I don't think the OP's vids are of his car. Unless he is out of country with his car right now.

3rd one looks a different Rob.

Did you compare license plate #s?

The first 3 are of my friends 8. It is lowered on KAW springs and has 11.5 wide wheels in the back. Here are pics of his car

WOW:eek::eek::eek:

That looks very nice. Definately the biggest on the 8 I'd go, 18's:D Your friend has very good taste. How is the ride quality on the car? I can't really tell, but are the rears a little stretched?

They are strethed and they dont rub. The quality is ruff and hard. I dont think you will go lower on springs than that

8 the first three videos are of the same car, the 4th one, the one I said was calypso rot is different, the first three the author of the post is the same, I think you might have missed on the counting, there are a total of 4 posted videos on my first thread.

Ok, Thanks! I only get 3 Videos to show for some reason.

Nice Polish 8! Wouldn't stand a chance on these f*cked up L.A. streets unless it's got hydraulics--it's pothole/speedbump hell out here in the Wild West.

From my driving, The potholes seem to be where the action is only, Downtown and Hollywood area for example, Out in the Desert, The roads are smooth and like new, No patches either! I guess there to much money to loose when shutting down the streets to repair in those area's, I don't understand why it's not done at night to avoid the heavy traffic, It only takes a good week to grind and repathe, Seem to be a bit healthier when the economy was better. imo

That 8 is amazing. Perfection.

Yes, the roads are terrible in the middle of the city. I think that the L.A. roads aren't fixed due to 2 reasons:

- Municipal Local Gov't corruption (Villaraigosa...)
- Squandering of tax payers $ to award outlandish contracts to old friends (LAUSD, e.g;, Belmont Learning Center etc...)


It never ceases to amaze me how wholly corrupt the city of Los Angeles is politically.



Anyhow, You're right 8eights, they really need to fix the damn streets around here.

PS. Slightly off-topic, so excuse me...

Who sells KAW springs?

They use to pop up in the states on the bay, Last i seen them was ebay.de they will be in colors red and yellow coils.

They are pretty expensive. I love the look though. Anyone else running them?

Use to run $300.00 in the states, They look weak/soft, Small wound diameter.

wonder what the spring rates are and how much damage the springs will do to the suspension and strut and shock mounts.....big risk

I might just keep the ride height of the car the way it is. I think it might already be lowered, and I don't feel like loosing more lips to the terrible roads here in Alberta.

What a beautiful car. Now I even love my wuffer red more.

I want an 850... :(

I'll trade you an 840 for your 540/6, that gets you close..... (insert 4-short jokes from members here)... :stickoutt

they are horrendous in Alberta. i didn't realize how good i had it in Vancouver until i moved to Edmonton. i think some of the potholes here have swallowed up cars whole..
