Doctor_Drift Posted March 28, 2014 Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 Po chopped like 3 coils off all 4 corners if only it rode as good as it looked. http://i1348.photobucket.com/albums/p733/redzedturbo/100_0967_zps2c1febe3.jpg http://i1348.photobucket.com/albums/p733/redzedturbo/100_0965_zps8ce273ce.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boostd92 Posted March 28, 2014 Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 ^^ Care to explain? With the Eibach group buy having died I might just think about that route. Does it bottom out? Bounce? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Convette Posted March 28, 2014 Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 dude just get cosmo sleve overs. Cutting springs makes your car handle like poo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boostd92 Posted March 28, 2014 Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 As much effort I've put into getting her running right, I'm not all that concerned about handling. My daily is a 2011 335i Msport coupe and it will always be playing catch up to that car, so whats the point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notfried Posted March 28, 2014 Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 If you want your car to handle like a '76 Buick Park Avenue Electra then why not just buy one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MotoCam360 Posted March 29, 2014 Report Share Posted March 29, 2014 lol with 2k in tires and coilovers a quest will take a hot shhhit on a 335 in the turns. I think a lightly modified SQ would eat up a BMW in just about every category except "cost of ownership" and smug factor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boostd92 Posted March 29, 2014 Report Share Posted March 29, 2014 (edited) If you want to compare a modified car to a completely stock car, go ahead - but it seems rather pointless. Mod for mod, a 335 is going to murder an SQ in just about any category. That being said, $2k in wheels and tires eclipses the value of must starquests I'm not trying to start a war, I love my Conquest but it's annoying when people try to put r-compound coilovered "inexpensive" cars up against a bone stock premium car with all-season street tires. It's not a fair comparison. That would be like me saying my $1,500 shifter kart on slicks will take a hoottttt shittttt on an SQ around an autocross course... who cares?

Crazy Quest Posted March 30, 2014 Report Share Posted March 30, 2014 What are the specs on those rims? I love the stance of your quest. hey thanks alot. The wheels are 18x10 +12 But i have a 5mm slip on spacer in the front and a 20mm bolt on spacer in the back. So that makes them:Front 18x10 +7Rear 18x10 -8 hope this helps.

The thing is... you can get a BMW 335 on every street corner and they'll finance or lease to anybody......so there is Nothing special about them.

patra_is_here Posted March 31, 2014 Report Share Posted March 31, 2014 Damn look at those door handles! Front needs lower! theres about a 1/4" rake as it sits now. but yes, a lil lower in the front probably. as it is now the tires dont rub. I think i got just the right amount of stretch tire and fender pull for a daily 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
