How long have you had them on the car, and how would you rate the ride compared to stock. Thanks!

For maybe 1k miles. The ride is a bit stiffer than stock and you definitely feel every bump. But overall, it's very smooth and handles good.

Crap! Now I have to go polish my car.

Awesome Shots. I'm jealous

jdl1pt · 11-23-2011, 11:29 PM

Sweet camera! I picked one up a few months back. Congrats, and nice pics.

Aries326 · 11-24-2011, 12:08 AM

Nice shots! What lens are you using? I'm torn between a D5100 and a D7000.

Rated M Roadster · 11-24-2011, 12:53 AM

Thanks guys!
I'm just using the 18-55mm lens that came with it. I'm sure the D7000 is a super nice camera, but I'm very happy with the D5100.

What are you shooting in, .JPG? Or what editing program are you using?

I was trying to look at your EXIF info, and it's not there

I'm only on a D3100, the D5100 is a super nice camera though. You'll enjoy it.

As I'm sure you are aware, the D5100 is a newer camera and has a number of pluses over the D7000 including 1080p video and articulating screen. It's a killer camera for the $, and I would recommend it for any new photographer. The current pic of the month was taken with one!

If you are looking for something over high entry line, you might consider holding out for the D7100 if you can wait that long. It's been rumored for some time now.

Rated M Roadster · 11-24-2011, 01:52 AM

They're shot in JPEG, 3.5 F-stop, ISO-100, between 1/200 and 1/1000 exposure.
I'm just putting them all through a filter on pixlr.com for the sake of time. But I am having fun playing with all the new features.

Endless619 · 11-24-2011, 01:42 PM

Very OEM!

InterlagozzE86MCoupe · 11-24-2011, 01:43 PM

Very clean love the drop. Do you have spacers in the rear?

Rated M Roadster · 11-24-2011, 02:00 PM

Thanks! I have 12.5mm spacers all the way around.

Here are some more from this morning:

great photos. are your coils cranked all the way down? i have my H&R's set with about 1/2" to go in front, and 3/4" left in back and its already pretty slammed

ZStig · 11-24-2011, 02:55 PM

wow thats slammed. I like it. You could always raise it a bit for track work

InterlagozzE86MCoupe · 11-24-2011, 02:55 PM

Cool thanks for the info. With just minor mods makes the stock look aggressive. Nice photos too!

Beedub · 11-24-2011, 03:28 PM

cant believe how good the stock wheels look with the wheel gap removed!!! Looks sick, i however love a suspension to actually be suspension, travel is key to a properly working shock absorber....

Rated M Roadster · 11-24-2011, 03:41 PM

The front is 2mm from the bottom and the rear is all the way down. It only rubs a little in the front wheel well, where the bumper meets the fende during harder cornering or big bumps. If I rolled the rear fenders, I could go to 15mm spacers.
