We could always organize a brief one this weekend since I'm in town and freshly lowered if you guys are up for it.

Also, does anyone know how to take out the backseats? I believe this is necessary to do the rear springs... I remember seeing a tutorial on here on how to do it but can't find it anymore.

Edit: found it. Let me know if anyone wants the link.

When should I get the car aligned? Right after or a couple weeks after settling? I will be in Orlando for the weekend, springs go on Friday, then I have about 160 miles to drive back to school.

I read that some wait till the springs settle before alignment, so you are right on getting one done after a couple of weeks.

Lowering springs are on, it looks and handles REALLY nice, I didn't expect it to be this comfortable or have this big of an effect on the handling :) will upload pics tomorrow when its not pooring rain all day...
