Default A few minor mods

I've got the Steeda Ultra Lites in and will be getting them on this weekend to get rid of that NASTY gap...also on order are the painted mirror covers and FINALLY a shorty antenna. I will get some pics up when I get it all put on...they are minor mods but hopefully it will look better than (i think) it already does.

I just ordered the painted mirror covers also. I'm keeping them black. They look great.

Is it safe to just replace the spring and keep the same shocks? I was thinking about getting lowering springs also but I was told that if I replace the springs that I should replace the shocks too or else I may run into problems with bottoming out.

I'm going to pick my car now. I had new Tokico D spec Struts and shocks installed with lower springs. I don't think you have to replace the shocks and struts when you get lower springs.

No, you don't. I asked the guys at Brenspeed and they said with the Steeda springs and an alignment I should be within specs and be good to go.
