Default Got my springs and struts on!!

Sorry no pics yet. I got them installed but haven't driven yet. Left the car at home for installation b/c I had to work today. Kyb agx adjustables with neuspeed sports. Can't wait to come home and take it out for some "turns" in it now! We'll see how I like it, setting is 2F/5R for the struts. I don't care as much about the looks, more the handling!!

I didn't get a camber kit. There is a slight camber in all the wheels but I will get an alignment. All I can say is this is the best investment I have made into my car so far. For all those that are deciding between rims or suspension, suspension all the way. Rims are nice for looks, I admit, but without the drop it looks gay. But the drop makes my stock wheels even look clean. But thats not the point, the handling is unlike any other. Almost no body roll when I take fast turns, BIG difference. I almost think that I'm in a sports car, that is until I look back and see the other doors. The front doesn't "lift" up when I accelerate fast. Ride is good, semi-firm but still comfortable for everyday driving. What I'm worrying about is just my tires holding traction, not the car flipping over anymore. Worth every penny.

Absolutly, the only thing holding me back is that I don't want the resale value of my car to drop with an aftermarket setup. I am about to graduate college in December and most likely will move back home to NYC. Might not need a car...

...And you asked if you'd "feel a difference in performance"!

Hahah, glad you like it.

Yep, best bang for the buck on our cars is suspension. Makes driving much more fun.
