Default Prokit on the SS
Finally got the springs on the car. I cheated though, I gave up and brought it to a shop. Turns out it was a good thing i did. The top strut bolt was rusted very badly and the threads were actually missing in parts so they couldnt get the bolt out. Also had to get new upper strut mounts. So cost me more then i wanted and didnt have much of a choice with struts only thing they could get me were monroe sensatrac struts. Yea crap struts but lifetime warranty along with install so whatever i'll deal with them for now.











some pics with a slowbra

Awesome Ruckus! Looks good! I got the same kit... only problem is, mine seems to be sagging in the rear now... didn't start happening till about 3-4 years after I put them on... but sagging none the less

do you like the stance ?

i dont like how the rear end has less wheel gap than the front....makes the car look awkward

You car looks very familiar. Did your mirrors come black or did you paint them black?
