The NEX Revolution!!

[googone20]

Finally got my wheel centers back from powdercoating. I also had my car at my buddies shop to get the housings modified and painted. He did a damn good job and I couldn't be happier. I ended up replacing all the bushings and upgrading to the M5 rubber up front. Also added a adjustable Dinan front sway bar and a Euro M5T Nurburg rear sway bar. I bought new rubbers for those also so that I wouldn't be back in for a long time. The suspension handles like a go kart and feels like it has to limits. It is amazing how fast you can enter turns and you still literally feel like your barely moving. I was also very impressed with the ride on the Nex coilovers. I was expecting a much harsher ride overall. It is damn firm with all my mods, but it is not jarring hard. I am so glad I went with the M5 bushings because they are tight but also have a solid feel. Well here are a couple pics of the new stance. As you can see I was test fitting my Zender bumper that I will get on in the next couple of weeks. Also you can see why I went with slightly stretched tires to fit inside my fender lips. It is actually hard to tell how low the car is in these pictures because of me squating to take them. The one with my headlights on is of me standing up so you can tell how low the front is.

nice to see a car properly lowered

[googone20]

What, you didn't like my 5'' wheel gap before??:D My car has been due for a suspension overhaul for some time. It was just a matter of gathering all the parts that I wanted and getting everything lined up. I couldn't be happier with the end result.

awesomeness. Also...with the smoked headlights... soooo dirty. :)

Damn that looks good.

Where'd you get the NEX? Before the backorder?


And where'd you find a zender bumper? :confused

[googone20]

Yeah, I bought my Nex right before they went on nack order. It just took me a few weeks to get some of the other parts together and then took my buddy about 2 weeks to get everything installed. If you remeber back to this past fall, I bought a Zinno colored 535iA that had the complete Zender kit on it. I decided to part it out after I discovered a few issues with the car and always kinda knew that the kit would go on my black car. So I do also have the side skirts and the rear bumper pieces. Hopefully in the next couple weeks I will get them painted and mounted.

[Boogieboy]

I can dig it!:alright

Congrats man it looks great! I really like that Zender bumper as well but I am afraid to put one on my car.

[GumbysE34]

Nice setup! Car looks GREAT!


Is that Zender piece painted Hellrot? It'd look nice on my car :shifty....everything is for sale for a certain price ;)

[googone20]

That Zender kit would require big dog money to get away from me.:devillook Anybody is welcome to PM me if you are that interested. By the way, it is painted Zinno.
