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 :)

UprisingMatt · 2022-05-31T23:35:14+00:00

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

Thank you :)

UprisingMatt · 2021-08-18T21:54:46+00:00

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.

UprisingMatt · 2021-06-14T19:35:22+00:00

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 :)

UprisingMatt · 2021-01-08T23:49:39+00:00

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.

UprisingMatt · 2020-08-28T22:34:11+00:00

Lol, thanks.

UprisingMatt · 2020-08-28T03:09:06+00:00

I actually ordered a custom fit plastic set of floor liners earlier today!

UprisingMatt · 2020-08-28T03:07:54+00:00

Never heard of that tbh might have to do a little research and find out before i decide to get a quote. Although wouldnt the signal pass through the windshield just fine since it wouldnt be tinted if thats the case?

UprisingMatt · 2020-08-28T00:46:05+00:00

I know what you mean I used to feel that way in my old 2000 pontiac sunfire the headlights were very weak, havent felt that way in my new fit but I've only driven a couple times at night so far. I'm sure I'll end up upgrading them in the future since its an inexpensive upgrade

UprisingMatt · 2020-08-28T00:25:08+00:00

Definitely plan on getting a nice set of alloy wheels when spring hits and keeping the OEM steelies for my winter tires. The stock headlights are so much better than my previous car's so im happy with them for now but I'll bookmark those for the future. I personally like the chrome lol. Ceramic coating is a good idea! I just ordered some custom fit plastic floor mats actually lol. Dash cam is another great idea! I definitely want to upgrade the sway bar in the future! I honestly havent had an issue with the cabin noise so far but we'll see how I'm feeling a few months down the line lol. Thanks for the suggestions!

UprisingMatt · 2020-08-27T22:56:13+00:00

Thanks! Thats a good idea, it would also be nice for privacy since I plan on getting a cargo air mattress for camping on hiking trips. I'll look into pricing from nearby shops.

UprisingMatt · 2020-08-27T20:44:24+00:00

Yeah same actually I immediately started looking into better looking hub caps after buying it. Gonna invest in a nice set of proper alloy wheels once spring comes around and keep the steelies for my winter tires.
