Mountain pass coilovers with 265/50/19 Geminis

[ZB44]

This suspension creates a way more pleasant overall experience and not just in comfort with bumps and road imperfections, but to eliminate the body roll of such a heavy car is really amazing.



Gemini wheels are powder coated traffic black

Tires are 265/50/19 pilot super sport for suv, words can’t express how planted and secure you feel when you turn. I wanted to push the limits of how beefy of a tire I can push. I honestly may of shaved some time off the 60. It feels way quicker.

For people who are looking for measurements
I went 12/12 in front and 10/8 in back
50 mm height front from perch
And 6.5 mm from perch in rear
For a raked look.

I finished at 1 am and was so exited to take photos i ran to a gas station for good lighting Lol

Hey there, do you have any other thoughts on this setup now that you've driven for a good while?

Do you rub up front with passengers or on big dips?

Would you do the same setup again?

I have a '22 MYP lowered a similar amount on TEIN's with 275/40/20 ET 35 no rub rides nice but want more sidewall and seriously considering your setup except with 19x9.5 ET 35 wheels and the 265/50/19 AS4's. Any more input is helpful. Thanks!

looking good.

always thought that the geminis would look really small and the car would be sitting too low.

looks like there's a good amount of height of the body from the ground with no fender gap.

been sitting on my coilovers and waiting to install them once i get bigger aftermarket wheels.
