Talking Finally installed!!

Finally I've found the time and a break in the sporadic rain to install my suspension set up. Most people on the forums recommended the adujustbale Tockico D struts and shocks but i went with the Bilsteins, got em for $600 and felt comfortable with the price. For springs i used the Eibach Pro kit and couldn't be happier with the gaps in the fender/quarter fenders. Some members informed me that this would dump my car so low that i would need to cut my rubber bumps on my rear end, however I don't have any rubbing issues and plenty of clearence. They must have been talking about the sportlines... any way also got J&M camber plates from Argonaut, thanks they work great!!! I also went with J&M LCAs and J&M Panhard bar, adjustable of course. I cant beleive how much better the car handles now, it's honestly like a whole new animal and i've fallen in love with the car all over again. Body roll is virually undetectable and nosedive is nonexistent. This mod was definately worth every penny, I contimplated purchasing new suspension for a while, since i'm a poor college student but finally dropped the hammer. Install was very straight forward and only took around 3 hours, although i am lucky and have a lift
