Default I love my car all over again.

Well I just had a few chassis/suspension stuff installed and boy I couldnt be happier. Modifications installed:

UMI boxed subframe connectors
UMI lower control arms
UMI lower control arm relocation brackets
Eibach Prokit w/ new factory shocks up front

I'll tell you what, I actually enjoy going around corners now. The car feels like its on rails and doesnt have a lot of body roll like when it was stock. Also, the car feels much tighter and sturdy. The drop looks perfefct as well, I cant wait to get my custom made Boyd Coddington wheels in.

Good stuff, I'm glad you are happy with the result. I am just curious how much did this work cost overall?

I'm very satisfied with everything. I know the manager at a local Lentz muffler. I trust these guys and they do good work for cheap. I got everything done for $300 including an alignment. Not bad imo.

Sure does, if you dont have LCA's/ LCA's brackets and springs I would highly recommend them as well.

Yeah, Belle tire wanted $180 just for the spring intall and they wont use your own parts. I obviously passed on that deal.
