Finally dropped no56K

Looks great! (cool)

I've been thinking about a drop too - where did you get your RB springs and how much? What's the ride quality like? I heard the Eibach Pro-kit is supposed to be pretty good in terms of ride quality...

Hey, thanks for the comment. I got my springs directly from racing beat. They can be had for around 200$ The ride quality did not change much to be honest with you. Yeah it's a bit harsher but not very noticeable. The cornering however improved, i am even more confident in corners. Very predictable now. Eibach Pro-kit gives you a bigger drop. If you can afford to have your car dropped by over an inch go for it. Remember, the only reason i chose RB springs is because the drop is minimal. Overall i am very pleased however. Hope that helps. Vik.

Thanks Vik! Yeah, the only hesitation I have about the Pro-kit is the larger drop. I live in Seattle, where roads aren't of the best quality and winter driving can suck sometimes... (wrc)

After seeing the RB springs tho, I'd think twice about the pro-kit!
 
Sweet, just toss the RB reay sway in there and you will be taking new england corners at light speed! :p BTW, dope wheels

As soon as i get some more money i might just do that : )
 
lookin good man. That drop is REALLY noticable after seeing the 'before' pic. I can't load that link you gave us, are those just flared wrenches? What do you recommend to take the endlinks off? thanks
 
also, are you running AWR endlinks with stock swaybar? After cutting it, do the endlinks come with all necessary hardware even after cutting the stock hardware? how do you adjust the endlinks? thanks

They are special sockets. They have sort of a spyral inside. They basically cut into a broken nut, and grab onto it. It won't slip off the nut and let you work with it further

Um, I didn't have time to get the AWR endlinks. I just went to the dealer and bought two stockers. I believe however awr ones come with all the hardware as well.
I only cut the endlink bolts. Everythingelse stayed intact...

ohhh..thanks for the reply. So why didn't you continue to use the old endlinks and just get some new bolts (unless bolt is part of the endlink)? again thanks for answering my questions. I'm kinda scared to do this install..

yes, bolt is a part of an endlink. Try your luck with lot's of penetrating oil and some good sockets. That worked for me when i did the front endlinks. Good luck. Feel free to ask of you have any more questions.
P.S.Endlinks are the only pain in the ars. Besides that everything is straight forward
