It looks good.

BUT...

LOWER IT !

Hahaha yeah yeah. I know.

I'm waiting for 808 to come in here and post "MOAR LOWER!!!" or something hahaha.

I changed out the blue lights in the front for white ones.

[johnnehh]

It's about damn time for this update.


Tein Super Streets.

Hopefully I'll be able to put them on this weekend.

Struts?

Struts?

Actually, I'm going to roll on stocks for now. I've been talking to people on the forum, and they've been telling me that I don't really NEED struts, they're just better to have. If I was going to lower it like 2" front and back, I would definitely get new struts. But since it's 1.4/.9 I don't think I'll need them for awhile.

I'll make sure to tell everyone how it goes

[SwissFerdi]

Do take pics of the install. And from my knowledge, you don't ever need them...just be prepared for the stockers to blow in a few months.

[johnnehh]

Well, here she is guys.

The whole thing took about 3 hours with 2 people. 45 mins per wheel. And we were taking our time.

I used a strut compressor.







It has a very nice firm ride now and is not bouncy at all. And I am still able to go over speedbumps!

Also, check out my spare that I picked up for $50 (I decided that I needed a spare. I woke up one morning with a nail in my tire and figured it was a sign. Haha.)






Pics of install coming soon. Used a cell phone for it, so yeah. Hah.

the ride looks very nice!

[johnnehh]

the ride looks very nice!

Thanks I appreciate it.

I did, however, put a little paint chip into the fender when I was trying to get the strut back into the car

I felt like punching myself in the face. Ugh. Haha.

It's not noticeable unless I point it out, though. So I'll probably just use some touch up paint

Aren't those S-Techs, not Super Streets? Stance looks good.

x2. Super Streets (SS) are coilovers. Those are just springs.

Yeahhh lmao. Sorry. Got coilovers on the mind already

[samir0189]

nice drop man. make sure to get an alignment check or you will more than likely eat your tires. and tires are expensive.

It seems as if Christmas has came early around these parts...

[CelicaST_CALI]

nice

[johnnehh]

Will have pics of the exhaust in a few days. Need to get it modded to fit right... Hangs out about 3" in the back. Every time I see the back of my car I feel like I need to curb stomp it. Lmao. But it sounds amazing

What color temperature was it? And really? Mine produces pretty much no glare... It was advertised to be 3x brighter than halogen and also product less glare, so I adjusted my lights and had my friend drive in front of me and he said it was fine.
