Matt's DB8 Picture/Progress Thread

Haha, my dc5 same as everyone else? Not much people have SSM with ITR lip kit. :lol: Nothing new with my car, i need new tires, so its Falken ziex again for me since raining season is coming.

I have two friends with DC5s that have or have had ITR lip kits, but are not SSM. Anyway... If you're looking for tires, I can hook you up.

Installing the Tokicos today!

 

[JDMxDB8]

Tokico Blue HP shocks are officially installed!

Impression: Definitely improved the ride quality. It's not as stiff as it was when the OEM shocks were on. The most significant improvement was the enormous decrease of body roll. I love them! The only con would be that I can't adjust the dampening. Hopefully I can get the Buddy Club Racing Spec Damper next year. For now, I couldn't be more happier.

Next mod: GReddy SP2

hows the ride with the GC's w/ the tokico blues? decent for daily driving and your weekend touge runs? not too bouncy, smooth, too stiff... or most definately invest in koni yellows?

The ride is nice! It's not as stiff as before with OEM shocks. Cornering performance has definitely increased. The shocks settled and I need to raise the DB up a bit. I am currently slammed. Lol! It looks so sexy, but I'm rubbing a little on bumps during high speeds. I'm planning to switch toi full coilovers sometime in the future.

Just like I promised, here are the pics I took of my engine bay. Enjoy!

Sorry the first two are a little blurry. I really need an SLR...

Where did you get your Bay steamed?

Where did you get your Bay steamed?

A local auto grooming shop. Excellent work and service. They work on all cars. Saw all these bimmers and benzes there. Lol! Even saw a yellow Porsche GT3. So sexy...
