late xmas/new year/birthday gift to myself

well basically i bought myself some gifts..

to start off with... new axles... my boots have been torn for about a year and a half. never got around to fixing them, so i just got some from raxles.. (note.. these are heavy,, found that out as i was picking them up ;( )

Left:
Right:

Had these sitting in my closet for almost a year ;( im terrible with money lol... anyways.. eibach springs



Finally getting to accompany the springs will be struts.. Tokico Illumina's



everything will be installed on tuesday, and pictures of drop will be posted when done..

SIDE NOTE: anyone with this setup happy with their choice?

Not bad. I would've went with lower springs than Eibach, but that's just me.

Nice. Quality parts, make sure you get a good install job. Don't forget to use new strut bearings and replace the strut boots (if needed), spring isolators and check the strut mounts. The last thing you want is to put on a nice new suspension setup and have some old parts end up causing problems that are hard to diagnose or that require a full disassembly to replace.

I have the exact setup and love it, I set the struts @ 2F and 2R with my 18" wheels on 245/40's nice ride, great handling.
