yea i have the s techs in my room and my boy will help me put them on for free all i would need to do is pay for the alignment and my other boy is hookin me up with oem replacement struts for 150. so if i decide to keep the s techs and throw them on it would only cost me 200 to drop my car. i already have money aside for that though so that excluding the 600.

hmmm ok. I just think the tokicos would be a more fitting replacement. They're meant for that kind of setup, where as stock shocks will be under stress cuz they're used to stock height.

thanks for the compliments, when it's day time, i'll take better pics. I didn't have to cut my rear lip, but my mechanic adjusted the exhaust pipe lower so it wouldn't melt my lip haha. he bondoed the areas where he riveted in the screws too, so it's not noticeable really. i don't want the exhause pipe to melt my lip, so you guys have any ideas? i heard of this one tape...forgot what it's called, but i can wrap it around the exhaust tips and it should keep the heat away from the lip...any ideas?

2 more turns down in the back, 1 more down in the front. When I did all the research on these coils, a few people said the adjustments were useless and you couldn't feel any difference. Not true, at least on our car. When they're softer it adds just a touch more body roll, however if it's not a track car it won't affect the handling too badly.

he didnt cut it at all? you wont have issues with it falling off becasue he riveted it on, but it looks like it might not line up right becasue he didint cut. from my install, i know its possible to do it without cutting, but theres no way for it to fully line up correctly. but i dont have the same lip, so i could be completely wrong

Getting 20% tint on top of factory 95% all over today except for the front windshield, gonna be 35% today. 
I found out a state law for medical exemptions to tints that allows me to make it as dark as I want.
My eyes are all fucked up so my doctor should have no problem signing it!
