DROP IT!

Car is looking sick though, for sure. May I ask when your indicators light up? Mine don't seem to...so I either blew a fuse or the bulbs are dead.

Apologies for the car being so dirty, but you get the idea... (I haven't washed it since I've been to the drag strip, the numbers are still there haha.) biggrin.gif

And for those of you who were wondering, I ran a 16.1 with a horrible launch. 15s will be fersure the next time I go.

(ps:when u get pulled over by an asshole cop and he gives u a 50$ tocket for your lights your gonna care)

BANNED. for life, you moron.
Car looks good...however, I'd put the wing back on. It just doesn't look right unless the car is low and you have some ground effects. But I fully support your progress...save for the ricer gauges. wink.gif

Keep it up.

I hope you dont use your harness straps (Or the correct term) for driving on the streets. It can cause more harm than good than a seatbelt if not correctly secured in a crash.

I changed out the blue lights in the front for white ones.

Actually, I'm going to roll on stocks for now. I've been talking to people on the forum, and they've been telling me that I don't really NEED struts, they're just better to have. If I was going to lower it like 2" front and back, I would definitely get new struts. But since it's 1.4/.9 I don't think I'll need them for awhile.

I'll make sure to tell everyone how it goes tongue.gif

Do take pics of the install. And from my knowledge, you don't ever need them...just be prepared for the stockers to blow in a few months.

Well, here she is guys.

The whole thing took about 3 hours with 2 people. 45 mins per wheel. And we were taking our time.

I used a strut compressor.







It has a very nice firm ride now and is not bouncy at all. And I am still able to go over speedbumps! laugh.gif

Also, check out my spare that I picked up for $50 wink.gif (I decided that I needed a spare. I woke up one morning with a nail in my tire and figured it was a sign. Haha.)






Pics of install coming soon. Used a cell phone for it, so yeah. Hah.

Thanks smile.gif I appreciate it.

I did, however, put a little paint chip into the fender when I was trying to get the strut back into the car frown.gif

I felt like punching myself in the face. Ugh. Haha.

It's not noticeable unless I point it out, though. So I'll probably just use some touch up paint wink.gif

x2. Super Streets (SS) are coilovers. Those are just springs.

Will have pics of the exhaust in a few days. Need to get it modded to fit right... Hangs out about 3" in the back. Every time I see the back of my car I feel like I need to curb stomp it. Lmao. But it sounds amazing biggrin.gif

What color temperature was it? And really? Mine produces pretty much no glare... It was advertised to be 3x brighter than halogen and also product less glare, so I adjusted my lights and had my friend drive in front of me and he said it was fine.
