Yeah Finally my car is dropped. I used Racing Beat Springs, for a mild drop.

Car looks great.....even the slightest drop makes the car look so much better, as u can see.

Yes it is missaligned. Oh well, can't be perfect can it?

[tyusha]

old pic

 

[tyusha]

Thanks guys for posting the pics for me. Yes i should have done that earlier. Racing beat is claming for the drop to be a little less than an inch. If i lived in california or some other place warm i'd get a bigger drop but that's a no no for New England. The car feels great in corners and i am happy with the drop overall. I think those springs give you the best of both worlds....

Yeah did it myself. But i need to warn people that live in places where it snows, and the roads get sanded/salted. The endlinks come very close to being impossible to take off. So if you think of doing the job yourself, maybe it's also time for you to buy some aftermarket endlinks, and maybe a sway bar for the rear. I basically had to demolish both of my rear endlinks because there was no way they were coming out. And yes i have Air tools and i used penetrating oil. Otherwise the job is not too bad at all. One thing that helped me a lot were the Bolt - out sockets by craftsman (can be bought at sears or online).

If it gets to the point when you have to use these you will need new nuts. I bought mine in autozone. They are i believe 10mm with thread pitch of 1.25mm. Good luck
