yea dude...i knew you were collecting data/pics for that sping comparision...but never saw the end result until now. that rocks!

i've got a couple of how-tos i'd love to add to your site if you ever consider adding anyone else's to your collection. just let me know.

oh yea...i've got maxspeeds and love them. can't beat the price and quality. got them from ebay. and gr2s - ebay too.

i went with H&R's from tire rack. they arrived at my house the day after i ordered them, $218 shipped. they look great, the front still looks to have a slight gap but it's hardly noticable once there is a driver in the car.

Give it some times, the front will settle lower. My front springs have about a 1/4" more gap than the rear after almost 30K miles of driving.

what is your alls opinion on the tein s-techs. i plan on with going the s-techs with the illuminas.

I have the S-techs /KYB GR-2s. it's a sweet setup. it lowered the car 2.2" in the front and 1.6" in the rear. check out my webpage for more pics!

VQ30DES

i think im set on the s-techs, the drop just looks so nice. Where is the best places to order my suspension from. So far I have come up with getting the S-Techs from optionimports.com the illuminas from custommaxima.com and the strut, sway bar, and alignment kit from swa.com. Last thing i do need the alignment kit right?

alignment kit? i never bought one. i had my installer align everything up for me when he finished installing the new suspension.

VQ30DES

bighunt, hwen you had your factory wheels did you have wheel spacers? If so what size?

Thanks fish - Yeah, the gallery still isn't complete. I've got a ton of pics of other drops I'm going to throw in the misc. section below. Plus, I never got good shots of a couple of the springs, but I'm hoping some others will submit their pics soon.

As far as posting a few of your how-to's, I've been tossing that idea around for awhile. I think it's an excellent idea, but just a couple details:

1. I'd of course want to see the completed how-to for approval - since I'm hosting the writeup on my site, I want to be sure I can stand behind the quality/content.
2. I'd like to credit the author with either with a shot of their max and their screename or a headshot (like editors on Cnet). I prefer the latter, since it looks more like an online magazine. I'd also need to include your email in the how-to in case people have questions. And be forewarned, I get a question on the how-to's on my site every few days. This is why the quality of the how-to is so important - anything unclear will result in emails.

With that being said, if I haven't scared you off, please PM me with the how-to's you have in mind. And this offer stands to others. Sorry for the novel!

no wheels spacers for me. everything worked out fine. i got tired of the Craptenzas, so i got the Falkens.

Had Maxspeeds installed over the weekend. It is less bouncy over humps, like RR tracks, and dips than the GLE stockers, but it is just as smooth over bumps in the road. I am extremely pleased! Oh, I also love the look of the drop
