then install yourself ;D

girl that does own install = money

I'm sure there is someone that could show you how to do it. It's pretty easy... might need an extra pair of hands handy, tho

oh hell yah...i am definetly gonna have a part in the installation, i'm not gonna have it professionally done.

my friend Ryan already had dibbs on helping me install the coilovers/springs when i get them, but there is no way i would just sit around...i wanna help too, do and learn much as i possibly can.

That is one of the reason's i am so excitied about that shit...i cant wait to get my hands dirty...and start working on my car, but when i get my intake..i want to attempt to do that myself...w/ back-up on site of course incase i have any problems

ahah.. 9 months... i know.. i dont' know how i did it...

the car sits alittle lower cuz i still have the old springs/shocks sitting in there... and also my 2 10s and 2 amps...

the ride is awesome very smooth for normal driving... and it corners alot better than stock... and i don't know if i'm just tripping but the car feels like it picks up faster too maybe more traction?

gotta get it align in a week or 2..

Looks damn good!!!

I know how it feels to sit on all that good stuff bro. I had my springs and shocks sitting in my garage since Oct/Nov and I just recently put them on. It felt hella good to finally do it.

Looks Good. $150 for springs is very cheap, good deal. BTW, i have had my WW lip for like 5 months. 2 months off, 2 on, now off for another 2 waiting to be painted.

i think he meant 150 for shocks, which is an even better deal. I checked on the site and it's closer to 160 but still that's a nice price.

springs are even cheaper
