New struts, springs and lights (56k Killa)

New struts, springs and lights (56k Killa)

Well guys we all need to change out our struts sooner or later right. I figured since im doing this, I'll go with a little better strut (KYB) and put in some new drop springs (Eibach's).

Heres some pics of the "stock" ride height of the car
Image
Image

The front struts and springs where a breeze
Image

But the back sucked big time. I had no idea i have to remove all the panels and deck lid. ( should have researched it)
Image
Image

Well i got them out and when i put the new Eibachs and KYB's together, I forgot to take pictures...
:oops: ( It was getting late and i was tired)
After the install i went to bed and took pics of the ride in the morning.

Now that the suspensions done. Lets put in some HID's
Got some HaLo brand HID's from my buddy for $150
Image

Didnt know where to mount the ballast but i think they'll be ok where i got them
Image

This is what it looks like at night.

Last but not least.....My security system!!

looks very good! so im assuming they still have to settle in a bit more. So expect more of a drop after a few weeks.
