Bought the springs used, and paired them up with some brand new SLP Bilsteins (couldn't afford Koni's, lol). I've personally put at least 3k miles on them now, plus however much the original owner put on em, so I think they're settled in pretty well now.
Oh, and the exhaust hangs so low because of the dude that put it on. There's another 2 inches for it to come up, but he didn't flip the fuel line brackets so the tips are ridiculously low, lol. And to be honest, my ground clearance really isn't that bad. My Pacesetters have yet to scrape on anything, it's just the tips that scrape everywhere.
Looks good. How do you like the ride with the Bils?
Thanks! It handles a LOT better than stock did, lol. It feels pretty planted on most turns I take, even with these crappy Sumitomos all around. But certain roads give me headaches with the stiffer suspension lol. I honestly don't really have anything else to compare it to though (besides stock), but overall the pros outweigh the cons for sure. It feels like a completely different car, and the rougher ride really only shows on long trips.
hey bud looks sweet man after you put the springs in do you have to do anything after that ?? ttyl bud
Damn that looks really good. I thought your car was black from the first few pics
lol, yeah I think eventually I'm going to get it repainted with some pearl flake in it (so I don't have to repaint the door jams, etc.), hoping it'll pop more, lol. Also, I knew if I took some direct sunlight pictures right now, it'd show some nasty holograms and swirl marks from when I didn't know how to wash cars correctly, lol.

car looks great, but sooner or later you'll realize that the rears are utter ****. when I had the prokit in the rear would bottom out on things it really shouldn't have, and on a few occasions hard enough that the cd player skipped. I ended up putting the stockers back in the rear without the isolators so now its got a slight raked look; not too bad imo.
