Very gifted person.
Much respect for your friend. I did every mod on my car as well, so I know how hard it is. The only time I pay for work is when it comes to tuning. I turn every nut and bolt.

There is something special about doing the work yourself. I can also say with the help of my friends we have done every single mod except the 4.10s.

Diabolical, I have been looking at drag springs. How do yours handle for everyday driving compared to the stockers and did they lower the car at all? Would you recommend them?

It's hard for me to say how they handle on the street for a couple of reasons. I almost never drive my car on the street. Also, I did several suspension mods at the same time. I installed rod-end lca's, adjustable struts and shocks, bump stops and drag springs all at the same time. I also have no front sway bar and a bmr xtreme anti roll in the rear, so my car rides like **** on the street, lol. I do have a friend who has a more streetable suspension with the eibach drag springs and he loves his setup for the street. As for lowering, I didn't see a difference at all and my rear end is still centered after installing the springs (still have stock panhard bar) so any change in height is negligible.

I wish I could say the same but unfortunately I can't. I've done a few things myself such as replacing rotors, brakes, and brake lines. Which was easy. I had searched the topic a bit on the forums and it seemed that guys would catch air in there brake lines bc they didn't keep the master cylinder full. I dd have a dumb mistake but easy fix.

Id certainly like to do it but I've always been afraid that I couldn't get a task done and I don't know anyone that shares the same interests. Most of all cosmetic stuff has been done by me except painting the hood

Props to u guys though for having the knowledge to do those things urself and patience as I'm sure that's a biggie
