I decided to just buy lowering springs. Since I wanted this done this weekend I went to NOPI to pick up some Neuspeed springs but they sold me Eibach Sportlines for the same price instead. The Eibachs say they drop F2.0" and R2.0" as well. After a painful installation of the front springs, my friend T.J. and I called it a day and drove the car home from the carport we used. (approx 2mile dist.) I smelled something funny when we got out but since it was late we got drunk and forgot about it. The next morning when I parked the car at the carport I noticed a hissing sound from front left shock. It was spurting out Oil!!!!! It smelled just like the stuff I smelled the other night. SUre enough both left and right shocks were busted.

So we are driving back to Nopi to get some Koni yellows but instead they have Tokico illuminas =(. Now down to the chase. Since we knew how to install everything from the prior day the install of Tokico's went smooth and the rear was a piece of cake. Now here is my problem:

The front dropped 1 inch and the rear dropped around 2inches as advertised. I can fit 3 fingers between tire and fender up front but i can't squeeze in 2 at the rear. WTF is going on. I would want the front lower if anything. Now my car looks stock with a trunk full of lead. I hope the drop is not too much for the Tokico shocks.

I have heard of all this prase about upgraded suspension, but I think its the worst $700 i have ever spent. Something is just not right. I'm sure we did the install correctly but maybe those parts just don't like each other.
