Have you tried them without turning the engine on? That would rule out vibrations.

I wanna say they weren't flickering without the engine on. I was adjusting the lights down a little and I saw no flickering

btw how is your ride being lowered. I noticed your also running true duals dumped. You have any ground to exhaust measurements because I'll be lowered soon also and just wondering.

Ride Is low but I'm used to it. Don't go with sportline spring cus those will slam the ride.
I don't have any measurements but could get some.

Lookin forward to ur pics at nite.
I'll be ordering the set myself

Did u fix the flicker problem?

yeah if you don't mind you can even PM me if you want to
the headlights really look great on the car gives it a new attitude and some better lighting at night. They will really look nice on your since its black. Install was a breeze BTW

It wasn't really a flicker problem, more like the light was just moving around just a tiny bit seems to be better now I readjusted the light bulb going into the projector and seems to have helped. My cam in the car is fairly large and has a good lope to it. But I drove from downtown Houston last weekend at night and never really noticed anything.

I was going to get Stranos which I believe only lower about 1.25 inches so maybe not quite as low as yours

If you get the projectors they most likely use the h3 bulb. When you buy the headlights it should tell you what type they are. Also get the HID harness, it runs to the battery and you don't get that humming noise and won't mess up the factory wiring. Cheap insurance.

Will it hurt to get just the springs now and shocks later? Just don't have the money for it all right now?

Yeah I do all my own labor. New spring/shock swap looks fairly simple for these cars
