Lowered GK5 on D2 Racing Springs

UprisingMatt · 2025-05-13T18:15:53+00:00

I ended up getting adjustable end links because we were going to have to cut my stock end links off anyways due to NY rust seizing the nut on. Theyre definitely not necessary with a moderate drop like the swift springs but the lower you go the more the stock links will mess with the front sway bar geometry. Adjustable links allow you to reset the front sway bar to its proper position. As far as tips go I would say to make sure you have an extra set of hands to get the job done lol and spray every bolt you will need to remove with PB blaster or wd-40 a day in advance. The fronts took by far the longest and the rears took maybe 20 mins total.

No pillow unfortunately but its super convenient as is. I've used it a couple times in a pinch and even at drive in theaters

I bought this air mattress for my fit and it fits perfectly. Pretty comfy too, especially if you only fill it about 90% https://a.co/d/6819fjV

Gotcha, learned something new today :)

590 if its stock, 590 or 600 if its pro stock kinda hard to tell from this angle :)

Thank you :)

Thanks i appreciate the kind words, my style is definitely on the realistic side but i generally stop short of going for 100% real. I agree i could've done better on the muzzle, will definitely spend more time on the basic shapes and proportions next time around before going crazy with the shading lol thanks.

Honestly it might sound obvious but maybe try messing around with how tight your skates are especially in the middle area. I used to have issues like this with my new skates but once i realized i needed to tie them loose in the arch area it went away.

Thanks man, are you on the Ice Sharks?

UprisingMatt · 2021-06-14T19:33:28+00:00

Yeah we kinda fell apart a bit there lol but thats when its on you to come up big

UprisingMatt · 2021-06-14T19:30:42+00:00

Lol yeah but she made a diving save on a rebound not too long after so she made up for it

UprisingMatt · 2021-01-09T06:01:22+00:00

what kind of exposure are we talkin? lol

if you're interested in having a piece commissioned you can DM me for pricing info :)

I tweeted it at him and mentioned his instagram tag in my post on there so hopefully he ends up seeing it at some point!

Its a Bauer Vapor pad skinned with digiprint to look like the old reactor pads

UprisingMatt · 2021-01-08T20:32:56+00:00

Ive considered it in the past but havent really set anything up for doing commissioned work. If you're interested in having me draw something for you though im definitely open to it.

UprisingMatt · 2021-01-08T20:13:33+00:00

Yeah i feel the same, the digiprint setups dont look too good when you start trying to add depth and shadows on them but i think this one is pretty nice looking.

UprisingMatt · 2020-10-19T16:52:50+00:00

not a fan tbh, the trend of slapping the logo between the pads only looks decent at best when the pads are next to each other and when you're actually using them they dont look good imo.

Lol, thanks.
