Are you putting those springs on stock shocks/struts? If not, which ones did you buy? If so, isn't that bad for your stock shocks/struts?

Nice pipes btw. Exhaust that is

any aftermarket shocks are bad for the stock struts, the stock struts are made for the springs but cant handle the aftermatket springs cause of the load it puts on them i think

when you finished putting on your exhaust its going to be loud, but it'll settle down in a week or two.. need to break in the new muffler. mine has been on for about 2 weeks and its quieter now. only when i run the car for a while the gas's are hotter so its louder, and i've set off 2 car alarms this morning while dropping my friend home. its not THAT loud, but noticable and those alarms that i set off were probably too sensitive.
