I ordered new Nexen N3000 ZR tires already just waiting for them to get shipped. 235/35/R19's btw if anyone is curious.

[HungarianHunter]

Nice work so far :D

Drop it next IMO

[nyjets985]

i didnt know ddm offered a 7000k bulb ? ?

[ricky_db]

lookin good slap some tire shine on that steely lol
i doubt its still on there, thats like the worst look in the world
dam flats! :FIREdevil:

[tougiefougie]

Looks good now drop your car next. Itll make a big difference

[E_Emerson88]

Nice work so far :D

Drop it next IMO

im saving up for GR2's. I have Megan Springs but i dont want to put it on stock suspension


i didnt know ddm offered a 7000k bulb ? ?

actually i bought 8000k from DDM but when i bought the heads from Ivory he tossed in the bulbs since he was getting JDM Heads he had no use for them


lookin good slap some tire shine on that steely lol
i doubt its still on there, thats like the worst look in the world
dam flats! :FIREdevil:

haha, i spray painted the steely back when i didnt have any rims like 2 years ago and it looks worse now cuz its all chipping haha

[HungarianHunter]

Yea, definitely get the GR-2's first, putting the springs on the stock struts will:

A. Make it a project that you will have to do twice basically

B. Greatly increase your risk of blowing your struts

(someone correct me if I'm wrong)

So I'd say just do it all at once man. I did, it was a fun project and I learned some useful stuff :)

Took me 11 hours... lol

so it took youy 11 hrs to do the suspension? must have been your first 1. I did mine in 4 hrs takin my time and i did my first 8g 1 without a spring compressor and most tools in like 7 hrs.


ok emerson.. def drop next and hes right about the struts change them the first time around.. are you planning on modding the motor? what are your plans???!!!

[sponcar]

just in case that u dont feel to install the lower suspension by ureself.. i know a performance shop that putted mine for $25 per tire..!!

[E_Emerson88]

are you planning on modding the motor? what are your plans???!!!

not planning on doing anything major. i just want to have car that looks nice. speed isnt really a big issue. but hopefully eventually a VRG front =]

[E_Emerson88]

what do you mean by "per tire"???

[HungarianHunter]

what do you mean by "per tire"???

I think he means per wheel, so 25$ for the front left, 25$ for the front right, etc, meaning 100$ for all 4 struts/shocks to be installed. I'm assuming.


And yea, first time doing mine it was 11 hours. Mostly because we couldnt figure out the proper way to use the spring compressors, and getting the rear brakes to go down was a bitch until we found a giant metal rod lol.

[E_Emerson88]

i need to pay some bills and after i get my drop then maybe lol. trying to do one thing at a time. good luck selling it in the mean time. did you already plasti-weld it or whatever you were gonna do with it?

[WhiteGalant]

You need to take the foam piece off of the actual bumper to get it to sit flush.

[E_Emerson88]

i didnt put the foam piece when i put it on. i didnt think of putting it on

[2002BlackDragon]

Well, im kinda glad that you got it befor me cause the fitment looks like shit. Sorry, but it does.

[E_Emerson88]

yeah its not a big deal though. either way i wasnt gonna get it on cuz of my muffler. maybe ill play around with it later before my paint job and do a dual tip =]

[E_Emerson88]

http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f91/SexyAssMilkshake/My%20Galant/P1010174.jpg

let me know what you guys think

Looks good, did you use brake caliper spray paint or did you paint it by hand with a brush?

[E_Emerson88]

i sprayed some brake cleaner, sanded it off, and used regular spray paint that protects against rust. this is just a temp fix. imma use G-2 paint later for the final product

[IVORY_G]

Looks 10x better. My question is how the hell did your calipers come look so bad? Also I wouldve recommended you to use High temp engine enamel that you can buy at Autozone & Pepboys. Bcz if thats just reg paint, theres no telling how long it will last. But for a temp fix it still looks good.
You gotta be careful when doing like this tho bcz sometimes paint can still contact the rotor which will be a problem. Thk you for not painting red like everybody and they momma does! That shit is old! What color are you using from G2?

[stvn_mj]

Oooo... Nice Brembos. lol Looks better and I gotta agree with Ivory red calipers are so tacky now.

i have no idea how they got so bad but i got tired of looking at them lol. Yeah im gonna get some high temp paint and do it over again once i get some motivation haha. I painted it then drove for like 5 minutes so if there was any paint on the rotors it would have came off before it dried all the way. I was thinking of going for a flat [not shinny like it is now] black with gold or white GALANT letters going on the calipers like ive seen Krispy i think has on his sig. what do you guys think?

[IVORY_G]

Yeah that'll be cool

[E_Emerson88]

alright, i got these not long ago but never posted photo's. so here ya go =]

Tien Basic Coilovers:

http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f91/SexyAssMilkshake/My%20Galant/P1010224.jpg

http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f91/SexyAssMilkshake/My%20Galant/P1010225.jpg

and some OEM Mitsu 17's:

http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f91/SexyAssMilkshake/My%20Galant/P1010227.jpg

imma gonna install the tiens when i get a camber kit and have time, and with the wheels: they will be painted and i need tires & lug nuts =]

[beam514]

you can order OEM style lugnuts on Rock-Auto for pretty cheap, or you can search on Socal3G for someone local that might have them (that's what I did).

[E_Emerson88]

i was actually thinking of buying some black extended lug's to set off the look of when i paint the wheels bronze

[showtime]

what are you dropped on now, and when are the coils getting installed?!?! they looks sexy.

[E_Emerson88]

right now i am on OEM Jeep Style suspension lol. i am in no rush for the drop. i still need to re-shave my quarter panel fenders & buy a camber kit. im not sure if my 19's will clear with the drop.

[beam514]

I actually like the look of the chrome lugnuts with the bronze wheels.. I dunno

[E_Emerson88]

im thinking of doing matching brakes. Black calipers w/bronze GALANT letters and bronze wheels w/ black lugs. i think it would look good. sounds good im my head lol

[WhiteGalant]

You have to use oem lugs because of the lug seat in the wheel.

[E_Emerson88]

yeah i thought so. oh wellz

[sponcar]

alright, i got these not long ago but never posted photo's. so here ya go =]

[RedGalant2k1]

i was actually thinking of buying some black extended lug's to set off the look of when i paint the wheels bronze

If you are using factory Mitsubishi wheels be sure to use lugnuts that look like this:

http://www.nppw.com/components/com_virtuemart/shop_image/product/64556235e63cf17225e83147cb6d7e33.jpg

Or at least a shank style with a washer, preferably factory style as pictured.

[glantnation]

looks good....

[beam514]

hell yea Emerson. Looks really nice. And you got it right they're easy to install, you don't even have to remove the springs off the old struts LOL or use that damn spring compressor

[E_Emerson88]

thanks. whens the next meet bro? lol

[E_Emerson88]

hell yea Emerson. Looks really nice. And you got it right they're easy to install, you don't even have to remove the springs off the old struts LOL or use that damn spring compressor

yup, all you need is a breaker bar and a good set of ratchets lol

[beam514]

hmmm I'm done with school in early June!

(btw if you don't like that bumper when I'm back.. I just might take that off your hands too LOL)

[ricky_db]

about time you tease after a month of looking at them

the new front if hot too

[blue8g]

need to lower the back a lot more

put on new bumper!

paint rest of car!


lol looks better every time i see it

[E_Emerson88]

yeah they were bugging me for a while haha. im still playing with the height for now but i don't want to lower it too much. this is my daily so i don't want it too aggressive. im still debating on that bumper right now but i donno yet. i will paint the car in the next few months after i get rid of the door dings and stuff out.

thanks for the positive comments guys =]

[greddy]

Looks good, get some spacers :)

[E_Emerson88]

^yes!!!! i was thinking the same thing lol. but i know nothing about that kind of stuff. any help?

[8g831]

Shit it's about time Emerson haha it might rain now all u need is a paint job and u straight good job looks good

[greddy]

I'd get some 15-20mm spacers to start out emerson, it'll look good

[IVORY_G]

Finally! Looks good except for the rear. You def need to level it out with the front more, just looks funny that way. But youre headed in the right direction! LOL!

[Frankv]

^^^ more drop in the back and you're set. good work meng!

[beam514]

just like everyone else is saying, you could probably lower the rear a little more. You most likely won't be scraping on anything either, as long as you don't back up into a curb or anything.

[keith6110]

ahh sweet pics. Just need a lil touch up paint now lol!

[E_Emerson88]

something big coming =]

lemme know what you think. . .

[Corey2kG]

Sick!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[IVORY_G]

Looks dope! If u didnt need wheels so bad, I wouldve kept these for myself! They look like they are actual 2-piece wheels, are they?
You shouldve colormatched ur trunk bar, and remove the GALANT letters; not too late. Would make the rear end flow much better...
I can help you cut out your bars in the lower front bumper with my dremel if you want. Just buy me some discs to cut with.
Youre exterior looks perfect other than that, I wouldnt even bother with the JDM bumpers honestly, (sorry Albert!) LOL!
Dont get me wrong I love my parts, but if I could go back and decide again, I'd leave it USDM, JDM shit cost so damn much, & once you start you gotta go all the way to look right. Just my $0.02.

[greddy]

3G wheels looked WAYYYYYYYYY better IMHO, but to each his own

[4g63lover]

3G wheels looked WAYYYYYYYYY better IMHO, but to each his own

I'd have to agree with Martin on this. Though the rest of the car looks good.

[IVORY_G]

^You guys are kidding rt?! Those wheels were hideous on his car. Threw off the whole look of the car IMO.

[98mgalant]

Looks good. looks like you need a small spacer in the rear though.

[Corey2kG]

Someone is smoking something lol.

[jimmy_o2]

no i liked the 3G wheels better too but to all there own

[cleazy123]

Lookin good Emerson, looks original I'n a usdm way no need to go JDM.

[cleazy123]

And clean ...very clean

[beam514]

Looks good. I think you need to raise the rubber hood bump stops, hood is a little low lol

You didn't raise the car did you?

[cleazy123]

Definately do a mugen lip though

[IVORY_G]

Definately do a mugen lip though

Naw even better would be the CD5 lip like 4G63's, then he wouldnt need to paint it or do sideskirts...

they are one piece wheels. i dont really like the rivets on them cuz it was a vitch to clean lol. i will color match the trunk bar when i get my bumper painted. i dont really like the look of cutting out the bars either. when i calculated how much my JDM front conversion was gonna cost it was over 900 -_-


3G wheels looked WAYYYYYYYYY better IMHO, but to each his own

no they didint. they were sooooo scratched up and treated by shit from previous owner they looked like crap


Looks good. looks like you need a small spacer in the rear though.

i noticed that too. on my to-do list =]


Lookin good Emerson, looks original I'n a usdm way no need to go JDM.

no need. . . . . yet =]


Looks good. I think you need to raise the rubber hood bump stops, hood is a little low lol

You didn't raise the car did you?

do my hood stops for me. i tried but failed lol. i didnt raise or do anything with the coilovers yet. gonna lower it a bit to make it look a lil more flush


Naw even better would be the CD5 lip like 4G63's, then he wouldnt need to paint it or do sideskirts...

YES!!! i am down haha

[E_Emerson88]

OH! and i still have the 3G wheels. im thinking of fixing them a bit and painting either bronze of gunmetal. still havent decided lol

[Corey2kG]

Hey Emerson do you have a towel you could ship over here lol. Very nice dude lol

[E_Emerson88]

Really nice for how clean/stock she is. I love it man!

[oakrdrs187]

I had mine that low in the rear and the camber was -2.9, Would it be safe to do a Home Depot camber kit to correct that much? Since kits only shave between 1.5 to 2 max. And I hate negative camber.

[E_Emerson88]

my rear camber is 2.9 & 3.2. the camber doesn't bug me. maybe I'll get a brand kit in the future but for now I am satisfied

[oakrdrs187]

^Oh man, If I could I would run +0.1. How much I hate a squatted stance.

Looks good, yeah I've had the performance ceramic pads and the more basic organic pads which have less brake dust. I honestly can't tell the difference so I use the organics for less brake dust.

[IVORY_G]

Looks good, need the rear end to drop a littl but though, and the muffler tip sticks out a little too far. But all in all your G is looking much better bro! Glad you finally got a legit set of wheels now ;)

[E_Emerson88]

it looks weird in the pictures but i like how it sticks out. 10x better in person

[99galantES]

Wheels look nice as well as the car and what magnaflow muffler is that one and is it loud?

[wetamup2k3g]

Nice! Loving the wheels. What happened to the muffler that bent up the pipes?

[dronesurfboards]
