Who has these installed? I might get them, but i'm afraid that 1.4" drop in the front and only a .9" in the back might look dumb. Anyone have these or seen them installed? I looked that the members rides, but its hard to tell with pics.

hahah you graduated last year??? if so well join the c/0 2007 club............lol i'm 18 also. biggrin.gif

my advice to you is take things very easy and slow. if your going school try to focus on that a little more than the car. if your car runs good. handles fine.........no noises, leaks........etc.............then the car is good altogether. trust me i had soo many people tell me why did i put that on my car or why did i do/buy that to the car/for the car.

and to tell you the truth i dont know why........lol

for me i did things backwards...............body some engine then suspension work.

if you check the general discussion forums i have my plans all thought out.

i should've done suspension. body. clutch and flywheel...............but i did body.........clutch..........no flywheel........rims.........and now planning on suspension.

imo suspension will cost the same as what i did body wise but will benefit you alot more.

i feel so stupid.........


but back to topic.

here's what i SUGGEST you to do.

suspension:
shocks/struts-------i'm guessing kyb
springs--------------prolly the teins
top mounts-----new factory ones???
grease the wheel bearing

do all one time and then get your alignment done at a shop

you said you did brakes.........cool

if your kinda iffy about the teins there are tanabe springs the gf210 to be exact that drop only 1" front and i think 0.6" rear but its 30% stiffer than stock.

those are what i'm considering for myself cuz i have 404 sides and they hang pretty low as is.

if your still debating on changing your shocks YES do all and everything you can get $$$ wise on your suspension. so you do everything one time.
