11/20/08 Update:

Pics of the PSPEC install and stickers as requested. The PSPEC is well worth the $200. Ill let you drive my car and see, but you have to come to me :P Also, pics of my engine bay as of now. Notice anything missing? Thats right, no power steering or air conditioning! The only way the real ballas roll.








Normally, I wouldn't put something like this on my car, but I though it was funny:



12/1/08 Update:

Well I finally lowered it. Set the Koni perches as low as they could go and slammed it. From different perspectives, I'm either tucking a wee bit of tire or have a 1 finger gap. I also set the Konis as stiff as they go, it's not too bad of a ride. Freeways are fine... back roads are iffy, but eh, win some, lose some.

I chipped my tooth from the damn front sway bar. We were working on sides of the car because we only had one side of the garage to work with. Had the lowered front side on the ground while we were taking apart the other side up front. One bolt holding the top perch in, and I was taking the damper fork bolt out with a chase punch. I thought I was being pretty safe, no tension on the damper since all the weight was off of it, but silly me forgot about the huge front sway bar with more tension than usual (because the other side was lowered). Once I got that fork bolt out it sent the front disc flying up into my mouth. Needless to say one of my front teeth is missing a corner.

This is the only picture I have so far. I snapped it walking into work this morning:

2/24/09 - New Wheels

 

i want pictures of said stickers! and non folding mirriors?

 

The notch in my mirror that keeps them in place was worn down.... I took out one of the screws on the bottom, took a drill bit to it, and put a 1.5" screw in, thus holding the mirror securely in place. Good mod, eh?

 

Pics, up when I can.... probably when the springs are on... soon.

 

looks like i must start work on posting up my ride like you did finch.

Members ride section anyone?

 

Been suggested; doubt it will happen. That's why mine's in here.

 

x2 on should be one, perhaps we should just all make one anyways

 

UPDATE: I cancelled my Koni's yesterday... turns out, HP Autoworks of Tempe, AZ has a very bad reputation across the car forums... not to mention my own personal experience with them. They kept giving me a run around that my rear pair was on backorder and would be in soon from Koni... they told me this more than once and the date kept changing. Shipping from Koni would have taken a week at the most... I still hadn't received my dampers after nearly a month. I e-mailed them yesterday and demanded a refund by Friday and threatened legal action against them (I told them they would receive a subpoena from my lawyer within 2 weeks of Friday). Needless to say, within 5 minutes of sending the e-mail I had a reply and $556 back in my PayPal account.

I'm going to order a set tomorrow, after my PayPal balance has been deposited in my account, from Pro Am Auto in TX, a licensed Koni dealer for $580 shipped. Hopefully have them installed next weekend or the weekend after, I'm sick of driving on a sheared damper bolt.

 

Yeah man.. some companies always try to give you the round about treatment and hopefully you'll wait forever till the "actual" product gets to you... I got my skunk 2 springs from a local dealer down here... Never really trusted big big amounts online...or maybe its just HP.

 

I've always been really careful when I spend over $250 online... a lot of parts dealers are really good... but these guys are just way bottom line even though there website is awesome...
