She's down....................................loooowwww :-)

I recently installed a tokico/spring combo....I like the look,but the ride is somewhat harsh...Typical for the tokico/sprint combo i guess..

Here are some pics of course..

Looks VERY good!

The sprint drop was a little to low for my liking so I opted for intrax.

Look at the cars Brian has been rolling and decide if his opinion is worth more than a stock VE airbox.

bout dang time

Looks good...typical Sprint with a slammed front and a little higher back for that old school rake.

BTW you should have waited...I have a set of sprints I will be selling after I put my Intrax on. They will go cheap.

I got my sprints for free[courtesy of chris gregg] For helping him diagnose and fix one of his maximas...

Thanks for all the comments...

I might be slow on my mods,but i am on a limited mod budget,so i look long and hard to get them cheap.

Total mod investment so far....About $500..

Lol, pimp gold. Mine came that color (car was too good of a deal to pass up for color), not my first pick, but it's grown on me, especially the two tone strip at the bottom... I think it looks classy, adds a nice touch to it.

BTW, nice drop, looks much better.
