Dude, I don't think that is a good idea IMO. Used Evo or STI for the same price and better cars. To every *** their own I guess.
 
Well, Joe and I got the springs on yesterday. Where were you Ryan? All in all it was a pretty easy install, it took from start to finish about 3 hrs. To be honest I didn't know what kind of drop to expext as I've seen a variety of results on our car. Tein advertises a 2.0" drop in the front and a 1.4" in the rear giving it a raked look. To my amazment it has a very nice even drop. no raked look at all. I would've liked them to be just a bit lower but I'm happy with the end results. I'll get some pics up either today or tomorrow. Not much different in ride maybe just a bit stiffer.

Cool!

I was out at White Bear Lake for most of the day with the wife and Kody. How hard was the install, and did you need the spring compressor?

install was pretty easy with 2 people, we didn't need the compressor at all it was easier with out it.
 
Glad to hear the install went well.. Sorry I did not call you.

It was more like 2.5 hours. And I think the drop looks very nice. How is the ride quality?
 
the ride is about the same. It seems like around 20mph I get some road noise but it doesn't really bother me. all in all I'm pretty happy with them. here's the pics. I don't think these pics do them justice but whatever.

boomer - no biggie, Friday night I got home from work late and crashed, Sat was super busy, and Sunday went over to Joe's. well have to get together after you big tuning day

about that, if the car drives as straigh as an arrow still do I still need to get it re-aligned?
 
Yes forsure. My car drove straight and perfect. But my toe was off a decent amount. This will eat up your tires over time.

Here are my alignment specs right after I lowered my car

ah I see. dealer alignment or some place else? I'm still running on the original tires and it's time for new ones anyways maybe I'll just get new tires and alignment at the same time. recomend any good shop?
 
I brought mine to sears in ridgedale mall (I think). I was only $50. I would get it done right away if it were me.
 
wooo go sears... come to coon rapids... and pick up toms money when ur there... i'm in lawn and garden, bring the cf trunk as well lol
