Please do yourself right and email Lee with specific questions as he does not frequent the board.

I'll tell you in a week or so...hopefully

Won't get mine until Tues.
Pity since I had scheduled this weekend for the install.
Hopefully, I can get the equipment and people in place again next week. I was basing install on 1 week shipping time (expected it would ship 1.5 weeks after the deal closed on 12/20).
do understand though - Tough time of year for a group deal.

It is hard to deal with shipping companies, and when they take their holidays and such, at this time of the year. When I verified everything with my vendor, we both had no idea that the shipping company would have a 1 week holiday. I do apologize, not to mention that UPS is running slower than usual even AFTER the holidays.

Got my springs. Unfortunately it's going to be a couple of weeks before they are installed.

Thanks WizzaMax and Volkscafe.

If you have 4 finger gaps, you must have small fingers...

you can cut a coil if you want but I only know one member who has..give it a couple weeks to settle then get the car aligned.

All of my pictures on my Website are from the MaxSpeed springs as they come...I am on KYB AGX parts and I think the stance is fine and it DOES look lowered to me.

I got mine yesterday also. There seems to be some damage to one of the springs (cosmetic I hope). There is yellow "touch up" paint on one of my springs. I hope it was just chipped paint and not a crack or rust! I had my wire wrap ready to go and I wrapped them up. Now I just have to put them in. =)

I'm doing it myself but you should be able to find someone for around $100 or so. Same cost for springs and shocks/struts or just springs.

Installed mine....

Thank you Volk's (Lee) and WizzamaxQ!!

I just got finished installing (about 30 mins aga) and all I can say is thank you.

I love the look ( and I know it's gonna drop a little more) and the handling is awesome. This combined with the FSTB and the RSB makes for a tight combination.

Only 2 things left to do - a 4 wheel alighnment (better adjust the camber to the different springs, height, etc.) and I need to adjust my headlights. Anyone who put these on a 2K2 tell me they think
otherwise because I lost a lot of headlight range with the coils.


I will be posting an extensive writeup later this week with pics and Service manual pages.

A painfully ill-timed groupdeal because of the holidays but it was really worth it!

Just so you know...our car's get thrust alignment...(two wheel only)

don't pay more when they cannot adjust the rear...front end alignment only required..


and glad you like the springs...

Another Happy Customer

Installed mine last Friday and took quite some time due to some learning errors and "need new struts" problems.

But like Shaydz, I LOVE the ride, and love the look. Nice drop and looks clean.

Thanks again guys.

Thanks for telling me BEFORE the search, WizzaMax.
I guess I would've seen it posted somewhere, but you saved me some clicking. Thanks again.
