Think i should ditch this sig pic? I kinda have to use night time pics for the sig tolook right... maybe I could set up my lights and get some blue gels and snap a really cool pic of the rims at night.

Use the beach pic as the background for the top, and put the mods on top of it, and leave the bottom of the pic alone.

since your car is already lowered 1.XX inches, that means your going for the 2inch Sprints or Coilovers? im just guessing?

Springs

That's probably your best bet to wait for the PT springs .. Although several guys in toronto are running eibachs on stock struts, and have 60k+ km's on em. I ordered a set when I heard that, but with my luck they'll blow out after 2k

wait im confused. I have PT springs in my garage waiting to be installed. Im not installing them in fear of ruining my sturts, so i have to get 250 or so dollars together and buy shocks. Id rather not have to buy shocks but no one has said what happenes when your sturts go....

don't do it, wait and get some shocks/struts. i did the eibachs with stock and the rear blew within 5k, i'm trying to find some that i like to replace them, they are toasted.
