Thanks guys! Your rides are awesome! Love the mods you guys have!
Interestingly enough, since my springs are green, the KYBs are red and the ST's are green, it looks a little bit like Christmas, but altogether look very good lol

I love the ST sways. I noticed on higher suspension settings I was able to achieve a little more oversteer than usual (even with the front sway installed). Also on turns where the camber falls away from you, you have more control. The best part is they make the suspension/chassis feel like they're working as one body, so corner exit speed is greater (even considering the understeer). Also, anybody driving behind you will see them. They're very noticeable and get alot of comments from friends!

Yeah, they definitely stand out, so people behind you notice them for sure, I feel the same way about coming out of turns, with little to no body roll, makes cornering so much more fun

just curious...with the spacers and extended studs...did you press out and install the new studs yourself? or did you have a shop do it?
if you did it yourself, how difficult was it? if a shop did it, how much did it cost you?

I did press them out myself. it's not very difficult to do, as you just have to remove the brake rotor first (although i had the help of using a lift at my friend's shop). after that, you push them out through the back of the hub and then put the new ones in. It's a tight fit, but removing the hub was not required in the rear anyway. after putting the extended studs in, put the rotor back on, assemble the caliper, and then put on the spacer and wheel and your lookin flush! lol
honestly, every shop that i called never did a physical estimate on my car but told me it'd be close to 120-200 per side, so like 400 total just to install spacers/studs, not including cost of parts. i thought this was ridiculous to just pop out studs and put on spacers, so i tried to do it myself. if you're interested in parts, check out optionimports.com. i got my spacers from there. 5mm front 10mm rear

Thank you! wish my engine bay looked as clean as yours lol
Sounds like a very similar setup. Good taste! Btw, how'd your magnaflow sound with no resonator? Did it sound crazy loud?
Thanks! Yeah, it was one of those smaller investments that went a long way for looks. It's a clean, subtle mod that is kinda rare amongst 1st gens. I love the look and would recommend the setup to any CL owner wanting a more flush/aggressive look.
not yet. i will get some more pics when i get a chance. just installed new HIDs.

It actually sounded really nice with the 3.0 and SRI. There's a video around here somewhere of my car, Chris' car, and Ryan's car. I'll post it if I can find it.

if that doesn't show: http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo...eat=directlink
come to think of it, seeing KYB AGX's for 96/each online, I think I paid closer to 350 for them. It was such a long time ago
ouch! hope everything's ok!

sorry for the long delay in reply as i've been busy with school. the extended studs were only required for the rear as spacers that are 5mm and higher require extended studs. The h&r spacer kits that are above 5mm come with extended studs.
I did press them out myself. it's not very difficult to do, as you just have to remove the brake rotor first (although i had the help of using a lift at my friend's shop). after that, you push them out through the back of the hub and then put the new ones in. It's a tight fit, but removing the hub was not required in the rear anyway. after putting the extended studs in, put the rotor back on, assemble the caliper, and then put on the spacer and wheel and your lookin flush! lol
honestly, every shop that i called never did a physical estimate on my car but told me it'd be close to 120-200 per side, so like 400 total just to install spacers/studs, not including cost of parts. i thought this was ridiculous to just pop out studs and put on spacers, so i tried to do it myself. if you're interested in parts, check out optionimports.com. i got my spacers from there. 5mm front 10mm rear
