Wack lyrics

So shortly after making the Super Egg post, my shocks started leaking. I went ahead and purchased all the parts I need and also did research on a RA1 “forum” on a social media platform. That shit is wack yo. But it shows not a lot of people know anything when it comes to this chassis. Everyone just wants to slam it, and that’s coo cuz it looks good; there’s research on that. But no real info if you don’t wanna ride so low. Everyone throws in China made coil-overs and calls it a day, but nah I’m good off of that. But anyway, here is the before and after pics.

Oem on top and H&R springs on Kyb shocks on the bottom. it rides smooth!

Here is an interesting find I came across:

OEM from factory on the left and OEM replacement on the right. I guess you have to cut it regardless even if you stay stock height.
No biggie, measure the OEM bump stop and cut the new one to size. Always have the taper facing down, or toward the shock body I should say. In this case start by cutting the top of the bump stop. Btw the oem bump stop was stuck in the metal cup shield. I had to lube it up and pry it out. Then beat it down like a prisoner in Sing Sing does to his meat in his cell…
Spring comparison. Bout the same size but of course the H&R gives you that 1.5 inch/40mm drop.

I also went ahead and installed the new steering wheel combo:

Then I threw on the Mcleans and fender stripe!

Ivan drives way better now, so smooth and can still take an impact on bumpy roads. I’m really happy with a shock and spring combo and not following the trend. Don’t follow what everyone else is doing, that’s wack lyrics. Shout out to the ones who test different suspension combos even if it’s from another car. Be lyrical and drive in your own lane. ✌️
