My cheap ass didn't want to pay for the expensive air fare on memorial day weekend.
Maybe sometime in the summer.

My round trip flight to NY was 211.
I wasn't about to pay close to a grand for only 2 days

I dont think any of us did springs,so its gonna be hard finding one local.

Why not get coils? You said youre doing over fenders

springs + over fenders/flares = FAIL

1.5" drop; max stiff damper setting - all around.
had to raise it up half an inch because it was making noises and for some reason my jpipe doesnt sit flush with the rest of the bottom, it hangs a bit lower. maybe the front end collision caused it to bend? idk lol but im happy with this set up. i aint bout dat low life lmao now time to save up for wheels


also i might do my brakes this sunday if it doesnt rain. stuff is supposed to be coming in on thurs/fri. gonna pick up some bottles of brake fluid tomorrow when i go to the dealership to get my tire all fixed up, caught a damn nail employee discount ftw

the flares are not cheap. Its being cut, welded, fabricated, and painted. Funds getting a little low this month. With a wife and two kids my budget is not that great to begin with lol. Just didn't want to ride stock height when I got it back. So what's wrong with doing a coil drop?

Better to do it right the first time than have to go back and fiddle with everything again I'd say hold off until you have the funds to buy everything THEN do it

Dont even mess with the rotor screws.
Drill em out the first time.
