tokico/tein combo installed. wow, day and night differnece.

I did pay someone $280 for the install but glad i did cause its professional.

drives great, not nearly as hard as i thought. i almost want it harder.

seems like i may need a camber kit. my buddy drove it and i noticed that the wheels were leaning just a bit. The ride pulls to the right ever so slightly which is probably just friction on the natural slope of the roads.

all in all. F'N AWESOME. THE VISUAL STYLE IS OUTSTANDING!!!!


PRAISE ME MILT!! LOL OOOPS, I NEED TO BE CHARGED NOW TO GET YOUR PRAISE. LOL

PICS UP NEXT GOOD CHITOWN DAY.

After you drop it.... get an alignment! Some shops will not do lowered cars, but its not hard to find... they will also adjust your camber... and you WILL stay within specs of camber... i dunno what other ppl on here are sayin about camber issues.... but majority of us are ok... and im sure Milt would back me up on this :lol: hes gotten into a couple arguements wit ppl whining bout camber

good luck and congrats

dude at the shop said there is nothing to align and a camber kit would be the only adjustment......sounds very wrong to me, but i was in a hurry to test drive it so i said whatever. ill deal with it when the time comes.

Dude you got ripped off. $170+ tax should have gotten a professional install + an alignment. You don't need a camber kit to get aligned..I HIGHLY suggest you find a new shop.
