I got H&R Sport Springs and Tokico Illuminas recently and they were installed last night...here's a few pics...I need to give the setup time to settle...Keep in mind it looks lower in person for some reason, but I doubt it will drop much more in the upcoming weeks. The handling is great and the ride is much nicer than I expected...For those wondering I went with H&R because Tokico only covers a drop up to 1.5" and I didn't want to have any hassle if for some reason something happened to them...the roads around here are another factor, so this is basically the lowest I could go under warrantee. Hope you like it.

Looks pretty good, I like your car overall... although personally I'd have dropped the front more... but that's just me...

stevay

how many lbs. of salt did you wash off?

One day I'll be lowered when the D2 Group deal is completed. One day........ god hates me

I'm not sure exactly but somewhere in the double digits

Kruppa

iTrader: (1)

I might have as well, but like I said...Tokico won't cover anywhere below what I got and i don't wanna mess with that...and the crappy roads here don't help...and H&R supposedly give best ride and handling whereas it's been proven that some teins and others that give low drops aren't exactly comfy or performance oriented which is what i was looking for

That's fine... to each his own... I love my Progress springs... I think they handle great and they ride nicely too... but others have a different opinion and I respect that. Keep up the good work... and yeah, MA roads do suck so ya made the right choice...

dcnfrost_69

If you don't mind, can you take some pictures during the day so we all can see it a little better? Overall, very nice drop. I like the way it looks, IMO. I need to lower mine, but I'm working on that. How much was the whole setup?

Struts from jdmwerks on ebay for $435
Springs were $205 on ebay
Install was well...cheap for me because somebody who shall remain anonymous hooked me up bigtime

Look good Kruppa. I cannot wait to drop mine, I'm thinking Maxspeeds over stock struts for now, then an upgrade come summer time.

kc1125

Wtf is "ski ski ski"? Do you wanna' go skiing?

your car looks awesome

Car looks great Kruppa. The drop likely looks lower in person because the flash tends to accentuate the wheel well. You'll get more representative shots in the daylight. Enjoy the new ride.

I think it's rapper, Lil' Jon's, words that he uses. Correct me if I'm wrong. I could have sworn he says "skeet skeet skeet", but what do I know!

looks good, but definitley get some daytime shots. i wanna put in my springs and struts so bad, but everytime it snows i think twice about it.

Kruppa

iTrader: (1)

For all of those wondering about MaximaPolaks post...It's because my last name has ski in it and we both like that lil jon song, so he finds it humorous to say that.

It really doesn't look that lowered...hope it settles quite a bit...

Skizza20

Drop looks great, and it will look even better when they settle. I'm still considering what to do for my susp mods, but I like the look of that, I'll keep it in mind. Also, you're local so you'll have to let me know how that drop fares around town and maybe MAYBE let me know who took care of the install

Kruppa

iTrader: (1)

I already drove on a lot of the roads I thought would give me trouble and none so far...it truly handles and rides way beyond anything i expected...my front strut bar and rear sway bar combine to make my combo insanely solid like my car is on rails, yet i also think its more comfortable and softer on my 2F/2R setting...bumps and large transitions in road feel softer with this setup the way i have it, which is just what i wanted, and it's always good to know you can make it much stiffer on 3, 4, or 5 at the track etc.

Hey Kruppa!!!!

Looks good to me.

Enjoy it....

That is VERY good to hear...have to add this to the mod list soon. Thanks!

It is "skeet skeet skeet". Do people even know what skeet is? :P

Kruppa

iTrader: (1)

haha yah i do but that can't be discussed on this forum i don't think...as dave chapelle says "you can't say skeet on the radio...you know what the dope thing about skeet is? White people don't know what it means yet, but when they do they're gonna be like, My god, what have we done?" And yes Dave, I am white, and yes, I do know what it means.

I've noticed the setup settling down a bit ...i've driven about 150 miles since I got it done and I was wondering if I'm supposed to say anything in particular to the people concerning an alignment...I have been told to just get a regular four wheel alignment, but If i tell them that i lowered my car should i really have to tell them to make adjustments for the camber and toe-in? I was told to wait about 300 miles, however, i'm worried the tires are going to wear the wrong way really fast...any opinions from those who have done this already or possibly good places to get it done? thanks guys.

NYPD-Arnold

iTrader: (8)

Get the car aligned ASAP! You're not supposed to be driving that much without one. 150 miles...what is wrong with you?

Kruppa

iTrader: (1)

three shops around the area, H&R, and Tokico companies all told me to drive on it for a while before I get it aligned because if you do it right away and it settles more, then it was basically useless.

NYPD-Arnold

iTrader: (8)

I've never heard of that. Everybody I know with a drop did their alignment the same day. The settle isn't anymore than about .1-2'' (if not considerably less) which won't make any difference at all.

Go get your car aligned.

I second that notion! Am willing to drive a bit for a quality install. But the drop does look sweet. Personally, I drive a lot for work and don't like em slammed but an inch or so is perfect IMO. The roads up here in NH aren't any better.
