Default just upgraded suspension...lovin' it

Hey guys, just got the car back from the shop. I had Eibach pro kit springs, Tokico D-spec shocks/struts, BMR upper & lower control arms, BMR adj panhard bar and brace, and thats about it. The new 18x10s should be here next week on Nitto 555s. God I love mods....

Please give us your driving impressions. Less jiggle, more control, harsh, etc???
Thanks in advance. I' m looking into something very similar.

God yes, its like a whole new car. The feel is firmer but not too harsh. I feeI alot more control in how it steers,handles, etc. Its exactly how I hoped it would handle. I was playing in it taking corners at around 40mph and it was butter I plan to go to the track in a couple weeks to see how it runs. Just waiting on the new rims/tires to show up. You'll love it

How much are the shops charging to install these items?

The shop that did all that for me pretty much spent all day on it. Said it took a little longer than they expected. It was $500 for everything they did that I listed above. I didnt think that was too bad but maybe it was. They have a great reputation for the work they do. Plus the owner gave me some free dyno time for having it most of the day

The shop set them for me. I asked and he said they were set on the "'middle" for settings. Cant remember if its 1-5 or 1-12 for the settings now. Either way theyre in the middle setting. So far I like it

$500 is an excellent price for that job done correctly.
