Installed Illuminas and H-techs last night

It went pretty smooth. Took us about 2 and 1/2 hours alltogether. car looks really sexy now I have it set to 3 all the way around and ride is so awesome. It is a little harsher than stock, but the car handles 100 times better. I still have to take some 'after' pictures, then I will post them all on my Cardomain site. Peace

Good work! Now I wanna see some side shots in good lighting. I have yet to see really clear pics of the H-techs. If you a good shot, I'd like to use your car in a spring comparison gallery I'm putting together.

Here's the gallery so far: http://www.innerbean.com/housecor/sp..._decision.html

Let me know if you can get me a shot like the others in the gallery. Thanks!

From one H.Tech/Illumina owner to another, congrats and enjoy!

Cory, sorry my pics weren't in good enough light to use in your gallery, sunlight is somewhat restricted in my driveway (thank god ). If I can remember my camera another time, I'll take different pics.

Maaaaan, I just went out for lunch and noticed something cool. There is no more bucking back and forth in lower gears when you let off the gas!!!!!! I haven't had a chance to check by how much wheel hop is reduced. Any 6-speeds out there running the same setup that can comment on this?

Many with a variety of springs have found their wheel hop to be eliminated after installing the springs & struts. I've had no wheel hop since my progress/illumina install. Enjoy.

Does the H-Tech and Illuminas combo still ride comfortable like stock on rough roads? I want a comfortable ride, with a lower stance, and a little more performance. Thanks!
