My Arctic/Blk with HRE C21's

Alex beat me to it!


Hello Everyone,
<O></O>
This is my first post though I’ve been clicking the link to this forum for some time. Nice group of members!
<O></O>
Here is a link to a few pictures of my arctic silver on black with the Shark Werks installed Stage III through a Milltek exhaust and brushed finish HRE C21’s (19”). Excellent job James and Alex! Thanks!

<O></O>
My feeling about the Stage III is that it feels very factory as far as all the components working in harmony with each other. Around town drivability is in fact, greatly increased (primarily thinking of first to second gear change with light throttle) and I can feel the freer flow (or rush) of power from the exhaust bottleneck being greatly reduced. It’s a very well tuned system - seamless.

Enjoying the board!

Agreed, but I have a lot of clearance issues most everywhere I go.

Seriously our pleasure and thanks for the kind words. Uncorked and with some software these cars sure do fly See you Friday for round 2 (a couple of nice interior upgrades). On the lowering... I'd say see what N2it thinks of his Tech Art spring kit. He's sometimes in the neighborhood so maybe getting a ride with him would be a good idea. It turned out much better than I thought to be honest.

bluesea,

Hot-*** car there! You could not be in better hands with Alex and James. The TA's place the car at the perfect all around ride height in MO. They talk to you a bit here and there but thats to be expected with springs.

I will change over in the future when they release the adjustable kits but for now it's perfect and I would do it again if this was the only option.

PM me if you would like and I will let you know when I'm town-we can go for a spin.

Thanks N2it! True, the car's stance seems just right when lowered. I agree with others that the car could use a stiffer setting at higher speeds.

I'm looking forward to seeing how the adjustable suspension system(s) work out.

bluesea.. glad you're on here so welcome to the mad-house... I like the springs best in the "sport" mode. The stiffer springs seem to match better when the shocks are in their stiffer setting.
