I just got my rails installed.
I wanted to post up a few pics and give you all my first impressions on these.
Installation:
The act of installing then was simple. The hardest part was striping the undercoating off. The next hardest part was getting the car up off the ground far enough and still being able to "load" the suspension so that the frame/body was at "normal" resting state without a drive-on lift.
The pics below show the extent of the welding we did.
First driving impressions:
The car now has a more "connected" feeling on the highway. Before the ride was super soft and more of a floating feeling. Now the car reacts to the pavement on each seam and dip. You can actually feel the struts and springs do their job and not the chassis absorbing the road. I took a 25mph rated exit ramp cloverleaf at 55-60mph and it stayed flat and had no tire squeal. I need more seat time on the street but so far, they are simply awesome.
Thanks go out to Curtis for making these and selling them at a great price and a BIG thanks to Chris Beran (AKA - BoostinHard or HeadDynamics) for doing all the welding.
Now for the pics of the passenger side. (Driver side looks the same.)
