Gettin' slammed hard

Well, not that hard. Only 1 inch.. thanks to Eibach Pro-Kits. Finally getting them installed on Monday.. $150 cash deal. Is that a decent deal? This guy apparently knows what the heck he's doing, from what people say in Sillyspeed.Com.. I mean Celispeed.. Do I need to do any alignment after this drop?

Is that $150 for the springs and install? Or just for the install? If it's both then it's a great deal, for just the install it's kinda steep. Most places in TO charge $100 I think...

well i think the pro-kit wont make a big difference but i guess it is stiffer than the stock springs...and $150 is a little too much for installation...try talk it down to $100 man

I don't wanna get Sportlines because I don't want the slammed hard look... just looking to reduce wheel wells to give it a sportier stance. I drive this in the winter too and it already scraps snow when I change lanes.. bad enough I am dropping an inch now, I'd hate to see what happens with 2 inches or more!

I found places that will do for $100, but they aren't that reputable.. I don't know, I'm kind of paranoid and chicken when it comes to modifying the car. So I had to search for someone who does a lot of spring installs and specializes in it. I guess $150 is stiff, but extra $50 for peace of mind isn't bad.

Well, wish me luck.. hopefully there will be no squeeking or weird sheit like that.

personally i think that you should go lower than 1inch cause you're basically spending the same amout...but its all about doing something you want...

have a big picture in mind for your car and stick to it!
