I saw a car that looked just like that this weekend near madison. The drop looks good, what size wheel and tire are you running? 17 or 18?

Looks good. Did you tighten down the struts enough when you reassembled them with the springs? You have to torque the crap out of them usually. Also if you roll your fenders, it should give you a little more clearance.

I agree that does really look good! Now are the rims body colored too or are they slightly off colored grey?

my fiances friend did them at the dealership he works at..he did blow a bearing while useing the spring compressor, but found most of the balls. i ordered 2 new ones, just gonna replace both sides at the same time so they have even wear. my fiance had an 06 hatch and when he put his springs on his made the same sounds. never found out wat caused it. my friend took a look at my car the other day and said the springs are kind of loose...he did his springs on his speed3 and hasnt had any problems with it. i usualy take my car to him anyways, so hes gonna replace my bearings and take a look at everything. i was told that everything was torqued down, but who knos. i wasnt allowed in the shop while they were working on it which kind of pissed me off. Sad

the rims are just straight gun metal. 2 of them have curb rash and gouges really bad, i bought them off a guy, 400 for rims and new tires. i getting them fixed and repainted next month for 175. i do have a gallon of my paint and was thinking about having them done that color, but not sure yet.

There's going to be a lot of man-crying now that you mentioned this.


BTW, the car looks awesome with the lowering springs. No, I don't want to have a sexual encounter with you Laughing Laughing
