DOING MY SUSPENSION NOW!!!
ok... im finally doing my suspension that has been sittin around for awhile. got the front up in the air as of now. passenger side is done. just have to put the caliper back on and the wheel then start the driver side. gonna finish the job up tomorrow. got the new CC plates in too, CC plates are extremely easy to install to anyone who needs to know. i dont have them set to the right specs for alighment right now, but i got em in there. gotta let the car settle before i do the alighment to it. the new springs are about 1 wrap around the coil shorter than the stock ones. so i should see a noticable drop from it. if nothing else, my handling would be better.

RE: DOING MY SUSPENSION NOW!!!
got the total install done! took me forever to do those upper control arms... the rear axle kept pulling to one side and i had a hell of a time getting it back. but the car looks great now! i need a new jack. they say the car will drop another 1/2 inch after the install and right now my jack scrapes on the gas tank and front bumper. so i gotta do something about that. i think it looks really good though, i will post some pics up tomorrow when i pull the car out of the garage! saved me 300 bucks doing it myself! took me about 8 hours to do the whole job. but i have never had experience with this type suspension before and even coil springs for that matter. i know my alignment is gonna be way off as of right now. i got the caster camber way off i know as of right now i think? tried to get it close but i dont think i did. it doesnt give the car that slammed look, but it gives it that low profile look, looks way much better than the factory!

RE: DOING MY SUSPENSION NOW!!!
that was the other person acting gay..... but anyways!.... the car handles much better now with the springs in and the ride is much stiffer... ill try and get some pics within the next couple days! it isnt very noticable that the car is dropped but i couldnt get the jack from under the car, i had to have someone pick up the suspension some while i pulled the jack from under it. looks much better than it did though! hopefully i will get another 1/2-3/4 an inch out of the drop over the next couple days.
