Congrats! but tonight? Maybe you should wait until Saturday in case you run into any problems and need to hit your local hardware store AND it takes you (much) longer than the 5 hours people have quoted here...(ahem, no names... ahem).

Hey, consider yourself lucky. Having the pro tools is definitely a boon. I actually broke a socket and a breaker bar (damned rusted out bolts), and then when out to get a heavier duty 1/2" set. Plus, did it by myself.

my personal mechanic (dear old dad) and i did the install in little over 2 hours... which included new rotors, pads and ss break lines... but the eibach/tokico install is just direct replacement.. koni's you have to modify the front strut housing.. so i would say 4 hours...



and pawn.........if i do not like my new lower valance you are the first person in line....:D

the car will look and perform well. Be prepared for the stiff ride :)

Hopefully I will get to see the new look on the 22nd. I need to get my CV boot replaced before the meet. Unfortunatly the guy that fixed my other CV boot had health problems and closed shop. Are you going to have your new wheels on for the meet as well? take care

Yes, he will have his 18's on for the meet. D@mn I wish I could make it...oh well, come to bandimere on Oct. 7th and you can see me running with the SC installed.

ok...IM done....took a little over 4 hrs....not bad....wasn't too difficult either.....but i guess having a lift and all the air tools makes it a breeze....LOL.....looks hot

the stiff ride.....hmm...didn't notice it...i have the konis set to as soft as you can go...i actually think it feels softer than the stock SE suspension..its not really stiff..more of like a soft/bouncy feeling...i like it...handles well too...and with the 18x8.5...just looks pure mean.....LOVE IT!
