Apexi and Exhaust are in.. Sways had probs..

Well I got my Apexi coilover kit in and it is a really solid feeling car now. I lowered the car beautifully, Amir will post pictures soon.

The exhaust sounds awesome but they had to custom fabricate the piping because the ones that came with mine were 2.5". Sounds awesome though, beautiful growl, dies down after 3000-3500, so its not annoying..

The sways however had huge probs. When my mechanic tried to remove the endlinks we realized how much salting roads here sucks ass. They were stripped and we couldn't take em out with out the welder, but we fucked up the plastic, so I need new endlinks.

The headers are in my trunk, I will get them done this weekend, as well as the Densos.

Apexi's are 870, Zeals range in price. Check autocarparts.com

Yes they are very easily adjustable, simply removing the wheel and using the supplied spanner wrenches.

Swaybars are in now.. It drives awesome too, no noise, my stocksway bar endlinks were trashed. I would recommend greasing them up a little bit if you are in an area that uses a lot of salt.

I have an appointment for monday for the headers, and getting my cleared housing installed. Also going to take it to the bodyshop to get rid of this nasty thing on the bottom right side, and some retarded people's dings on my car.

Styles, go look at Astro's car. This is the pimpest:

u dont need to adjust springs.

but if coilovers rust, good luck adjusting the height.

Can you give me a reason why they do? Just salt won't do it...otherwise, everyone would be having the same problems as you. Hey, I could be wrong...I don't live in a snowbelt tho.
