Default getting new suspension

yup i am getting SLP Bilstein Shock/Strut Package and DMS lowering springs for free! yes i said for free. trading my stock 114k suspension. He let someone barrow his T/A and they totaled it His car has Qa1s and his new T/A has the suspension that im getting and he is putting the qa1s on his new car. He just needs my stock stuff to put on the wrecked car b4 it goes to the junk yard. I am also trading my leather camaro seat for his T/A leather seats. My car will no longer look like a 4x4. here are the b4 pics and yes i have all the lugs on it now that was just to move the car.

Thumbs up

Looks good! How's the ride quality?

Hey! Where's the bumpstops? I don't see any on the assembled front shocks and springs; I hope you put them on before you mounted them on the car!
