yeah the H&R springs are pretty much the exact same drop as the eibach sportlines, (me and owen compared) so check out one of our rides if you wanna see.

Chris-What did you do with the rims after you wrecked em?

I thought they were the same on both cars. Last weekend we fit 6 people in my car to cruise around grand bend to wait out the rain, and it looked so much better lower.

Yeah man.... lowering your car makes a huge difference visually. You'll be surprised how much a car will look better just by lowering it.

I was thinking of those crazy expensive suspension upgrades (Tiens) but I'm still in school. I got a whole list of stuff to do with that car when I'm done.

man i really want the springs...but i am worried about the all might "sagging" rep that H & R has...aswell i was just gonna wait an do suspension next year and buy some good coils...sorry man...

Big...there is guy introducing a groupbuy for magnaflos, is that the same guy as before...?...as well guys do i have to immediately buy a header and downpipe once i get a cat system...? and i think i remember you guys saying that i don't really need to buy a high flo cat right? my stock one is fine if i do a system upgrade?

anyways boys, I am getting the hell outta this city on fri and won't be around for a few..got a few days off from work and am gonna go golfing for a week or so up in barrie...so if u guys need anything picked up in T.O let me know and give me directions and all that and some bling...cheers boys

long story.. lol.. its easier to explain in person.. remind me to tell it next time

and Mike, it all *should* bolt up properly and you wont have to buy anything else right away... but ask anyone whos been modding their car for a while and they'll tell you that things dont always work out 100%.. so, no guarentees.. but if you do some homework and ask around.. you should be fine for a straight bolt on

I'm surprised my body kit even stood up to that hit. ALot of paint damage, I was so surprised I thought forsure it would be shattered. It's mechanical damage that sucks most of the time that's big $$$. I might buy a pair of vented fenders.

It's cool about the springs. Honestly though... they're done sagg'n... I haven't heard anyone with a 7thgen saying they sag. Anyways, I just thought I'd give you first dibs on them if you wanted... $100 is a great deal for them.

Dennis, I heard from a little birdy that you may have a new setup for your suspension. Did you get it?
