Just installed new MaxSpeed Springs
They been sitting here in my house for 2weeks now and it was beginning to burn a hole in my head. I was procrastinating cause I could not find find ANYWHERE around here that would rent out Spring Compressors for struts. But I finally found someone today.
Got out and took me 3hrs to install these NICE YELLOW looking springs. The hardest part is just removing the stock assembly cause you have to compress the spring. I however did not need to compress the new springs to get the bolt on. Just had my friend push down hard as I got the bolt on. Was a piece of cake. The rears was a pain in the azz cause the damn bolts are located in the trunk and you need to use a universal-joint swivel head to get to the bolts.
But all in all, the car dropped in the front about 1.7"s and about 1" in the back, I image it will drop a bit more once the springs settle, but I can say for CERTAINTY that these springs are REALLY REALLY close to stock ride. I mean very close. I think it would be very had to tell if you did not ride the car too often.
Greatest part is that I only paid $95 for them. HAHAH

Re: Just installed new MaxSpeed Springs
Hmmm.. where can i get that cheap?
I was thinking about going simple with the drop, Eibachs and Tokicos
now they got AGX KYBS and KONIS and ground controls.. to complex.
