When are the springs going on? wanna see the difference


The springs are on.. :'(...It's only a 1- 1 1/4" drop... Had to keep it "daily driven".. My wife and daughters also couldn't tell the difference.. :'(

Hmm...that doen't sound very promising :(
1 1/4 may make a visible difference on a car, but with minivan ride height to deal with...you could definitely have gone lower. Might look odd with the bodykit - kits on stock (or near stock) height vehicles don't look as good as they good. Still, eager to see with with kit and wheels

Wow the change is DRASTIC :o Im impressed. I did feel bad before about my spring comment but after everything came together it actually appears to be lil lower nice job.

[firelizard]

Wonderful! It does look so mcuh better with the kit and wheels installed. I still think it could use less gap, but that is by far the hottest Odyssey I've seen this side of Japan.

is that a wheel that you can loop your hose on the last pic??nice!!! Get air suspension!!!!!!

The car looks promising!!great job!

[tech126]

Yes it is...18" SSR GPO..A bad wheel from my buddies accident..

[hipermax_d]

nice
my ody's in the make over process right now as well

just give the springs a little time. once it settles, it will drop the van down a little more

[mdenoga]

nice. this oddy would look nice with air. ;)

[shawnthemonster]

looks great... glad you put the stock grill back ;) air and some dish wheels would make that the best vip van state side (until i get my van done :) )

i photoshopped a better drop and i honestly think it'll improve the look of the car.

[VIPete]

Needs bigger, better fitting wheels, and way lower... but great start.

[firelizard]

With that drop man, that would be sex on wheels. Also, even in that Photochop, you still have pretty good clearance.

[Jay]

Looks great man, glad to see it coming along well!

[JN.FYC]

hey.
Nice. Looking good.
As other said. it would look good with. better .....


but. anyways. do you plan on changing your tailights. ?
Where the orange is. Swapping to white.

Just curious

Thanks for the comment.. Wheels may be changed in time...19's eventually...Lower, I think never.. It's good as it is for a daily driver..I can barely fit my toes under the front valance with it coming out of my drive way.Plus the springs are still "settling down"..I have a hard time clearing the rack at my house... Air suspension, out of the questions. I always had friends with daily driven cars with "bags" that was a constant maintinence ***** or just problms with leakage.. Plus soccer season just started and I am the "soccer dad" for the team... :'(

SORRY FOR THE DOUBLE POSTS..

But the wagon is officially done for now..Just the leather interior, led lgihts inside and out, and hopefully a fabulous rear wing and fog lights..


I just let the wife drive it the next day after the show and she already scrapped the front... :tickedoff: Was I mad...no.. It would eventually happen but s*** happens right..


Thanks again everyone for the comments...Good and bad... I really appreciate it.. :angel:
