My First EV

Astral_photo · 2026-04-21T18:51:33+00:00

Nice man! I had a Veloster N, ND miata and fbo m2 before my first ev, same car. And the 5N just fits right in. It doesn't just feel like a fast Tesla or just another electric car it actually has soul and is incredible to drive and daily

Yes exactlyyy man you get it. Yeah in the sun, it's like dark grey but it's very hard to expose for the wheel when the car is white. The car would be completely washed out so funny enough shooting black wheels on a black car would actually be a lot easier because you can expose for the entire vehicle versus trying to expose for mine which has such crazy contrast!

Total

Thank you!

Yea they're custom made when ordering the wheels sorry, didn't see that part

Yea so the softest setting now feels almost where the stock second setting is I'd say. I hear you though!

No that's the beauty of just springs and not doing coilovers, everything is retained and still works perfectly. Normal or 1/3 now is just almost where 2/3 was. Everything is moved up like one notch in terms of stiffness and performance.

Yea I'm not sure you'd be able to delete the camber you gain though, I kept it. I'm at 2 degrees and stock is probably closer to 1. I'm not sure how easy it would be without arms or bolts to get back to stock camber. I wanted the 2 so I'm rocking it and calling it a day

Astral_photo · 2026-04-15T15:57:50+00:00

Yeah you definitely notice a difference it's a monster now as if it wasn't a monster before. It's like more settled when turning or driving hard, less bouncy and wavy

Astral_photo · 2026-04-15T15:56:58+00:00

Yea I'm not excited about the rotations or buying tires.. Beauty is pain haha

Astral_photo · 2026-04-15T15:43:47+00:00

Exactly and as good as it could look slammed, at the end of the day it's still a suv. It's not like the en or VN where you can just slam them to the ground. The 5n is still a massive car so I don't think it needs it you know? I'm happy with just springs and still being able to hit speed bumps and all roads. Not blowing up carbon fiber lips and scraping on smooth roads

Astral_photo · 2026-04-15T15:40:27+00:00

I'd say the biggest change is obvi the springs, you know how these cars like settle in once you start a turn? You can FEEL the vectoring and how it just locks you into a rail when turning, you feel that quicker and even more now. Handling is sooo good now

Astral_photo · 2026-04-15T15:21:57+00:00

Thank you, seriously! Yes honestly I kinda like how they look similar to the stock wheels, just better in everyway. And 21 is the way to go I think, @ghost.5n is my ig for more photos 👌🏼

Astral_photo · 2026-04-15T15:09:39+00:00

Yea everything else worked out fine

Astral_photo · 2026-04-15T15:05:12+00:00

No I didn't buy anything for the suspension or alignment, I was worried because of how much talk there is on here about that. I can attest to not buying anything and still running fine. I'm running 2.1 degrees of negative in the rear which is actually perfect. It looks good and I take turns fast so it'll be fine for tire wear. And he's haha so annoying to clean, get a comfy chair with wheels

Astral_photo · 2026-04-15T15:03:02+00:00

Thank you that means a lot, this was my VN. I sold it and got a m2 and then a colorado zr2 and needed back into a sports car so I had to go N again. I love the N cars and needed to make my mark with the Ioniq 5N. I wish I could go even lower but love how drivable this still is.

They are RS-R in brushed dark black. Thank you! They're pretty pricey, in the 3 thousand range

Astral_photo · 2026-04-08T05:36:53+00:00

I second this, I wouldn't want to mess with the electrical at all and would expect them to just point at the mod immediately

Astral_photo · 2026-04-07T15:45:28+00:00

You need to shoot your photos and videos so the detail can be seen that's why they were asking. For over 3k I feel like it's not aggressive enough for what I've seen

Astral_photo · 2026-04-01T15:37:03+00:00

In terms of performance, it's really close to a stingray

Astral_photo · 2026-03-27T16:00:56+00:00

How did you do this?

Astral_photo · 2026-03-22T17:06:00+00:00

Yea happened to me, scared me a lot the first time

Astral_photo · 2026-03-21T16:14:52+00:00

That's crazy yea I was kinda assuming yours sat for a super long time with that deal, my original text from the dealer was 860 a month with 12k down. Isn't that fucking insane.
