True, true. No, I really need a digital camera. The picture has a really soft lens look because I had to take the pictures using my camera phone. Although, now that I think about it, it could be all the gospel music that I listen to in the car.

Damn it glows lol. Now you just need to get rid of the 4x4 look, drop the bad boy. I guess we also share the same feeling after having a clean car

Yea, I know. I was telling my wife last night that I need to drop her and get some clear corners. She told me to go ahead and order some clear corners, but I haven't yet. I'm trying to figure out if I should order them off ebay or southwest autoworks or something like that. I saw an thread some where on here talking about cheap corners that were falling apart.

Well yeah if you buy from like southwest and something is defective you can go back to him and he'll give you a new pair. Ebay it will be much harder to get in contact with the seller if you have a problem.

Not really, I just think its all about craftsmanship.....like all the gaskets are put on correctly and stuff like that. One time I got clears that were already separating.

Ok, well while I'm thinking about it. What do you suggest I get for a nice drop. I don't know a lot about suspension. I know I will need a set of springs, but do I have to get new struts and/or shocks also or can I use what I have?? I had new struts put on the front in December.

Well you have somebody very knowledgeable close to you I believe....Matt right? N34JZ has 17 inch rims and eibach/tokicos combo and I think it should be a bit lower but it will look much better than it does now. I have 16's with the same drop and its fine for me, plus I live in New York city a.k.a. pot hole city so I really can't go super low. you can also probably get kyb gr-2's from what I heard, they're just as good as tokico's and they cost less. The springs to consider are eibach for a moderate drop or intrax for a bit lower but a little harsher.

I would suggest changing everything while you're at it also, new shocks, dust boots and strut mounts if needed.

If they're Monroe I suggest you get them out because they will fail you very shortly, Monroe is a very bad shock. If you could I would replace all of them with KYB gr-2's. But if the front shocks that are in there are good then keep them and just put the spring on them.
