Almost here!!!
So, I'm sitting at work... twitching... because tomorrow is THE day! 
It's not coming fast enough! I'm gonna be installing my TEIN SS coils, TL-S ASPEC Kit, and my AEM Cai...! They're all patiently waiting in my garage! (Much more patient then I am!)

You can do that in 1 long day. I'd say 30 minute bumper removal for your first time, then the whole a-spec kit install...maybe 2.5 hours? Then the bumper is already off so you can do the intake in 1 hour. The Teins...ehh maybe 4-5 hours if this is your first suspension isntall? All depends also on if you have a helping set of hands.
So you might be done in like 9 hours without stopping.

LoL, it's all good guys! I got my bro helpin who is a mechanic, and a friend who is also! My other friend said he'd help me out too, and he's a semi-skilled tech! 
And I have already taken off the bumper for my headlight clearing, so I know the routine! So I shouldn't have a problem knockin out this whole project within a day with all that help! I got the spring compressor and all the tools! So don't worry bout me! 
As long as there's no serious complications, I should be rollin tomorrow night, low and slow! Well... I dunno about the slow part!

Hey guys, everything's on! Body kit's on, cai's on, and coils are on! So, I was working on my cai while my bro and friend were startin on the front coils. I finished the cai, and in the interest of time, instead of starting the rears, I moved onto the ASPEC kit. Once I got the front on, I walked over to see the progress of the coils... As I looked at the top of the front struts, I noticed something was missing! There were no adjustments for the dampening! So at this point the rears were being bolted in... I ran over, grabbed the manual, and guess what! It read... BASIC coilovers...! The box didn't even say basic or SS. I was pissed! But at that point, I couldn't do anything! So, needless to say, I'm going to see if, the shop will either let me swap them for the SS' (which I doubt), or at the very least, get the difference in money back! The car looks sexy as hell! But the basics are not what I wanted, or paid for! So, if I can't swap them for SS', I will soon have a set of basics on the BM very soon. And whatever process is taken to get the SS', I will be installing the EDFC next time as well! The car's dirty since I didn't wanna wash it yet since it's supposed to rain for the next few days. So when it's clean, I'll post some pics right away!

I love all the looks! And I love the AEM cai! The ride is more firm then I wanted, because of the mixup with the coils... I'm now debating to get the SS' with the EDFC or just a spring and shock combo, and sell the basics. Any input from anyone on how much smoother the SS' can be over the basics? Cause I want as close as possible to stock ride and feel...
