SPRING TIME IS HERE!!!!...my car is finally lowered!

OK.. i've had my suspension in my bed room since october... been dreamign of the day i could lower my car and not be a plow for the snow...the day is here!

setup -

KYB AGX (F-2.. R-4)
Sprint Springs...

now i gotta say.. this is pretty low.. might not be as low at S-techs.. but my god im scared to drive around the city now.. hahaha

in advance- i wanna say im sorry that my car is dirty.. and the fact that it is on stockers... with messed up rims... i was too excited to clean my car..

rims in 1-2 more months..







for some reason they come up at red x's.. but u can go to my car domain

For some reason those look lower than S-Techs... could just be an illusion... looks like an even drop though....

Looks good. Nice to see other Majestic Blues modding it up.
I'm lowered on s-tech and yours looks just as low.

Wow that's low. Definitely looks lower than S-Tech. Since they've been considerably used, the springs have become slightly softer, so you're dropped lower than what you would be with new springs.

Procrastination? What are you talking about.

I bet when you view the 5th gen forum, you have black circles in all the threads. Too bad this forum doesn't give a per day post count, or maybe it does and I haven't seen it.

will you plow my driveway with that thing for me next winter?

My car is finally lowered too, but my butt isn't on the ground like yours.

You need rims! F1's would look nice on your car

For some reasons your car looks lower than mine. I guess it's because i have 19's on and you kept the stockies on? I haven't scraped yet with the s-techs!
