Lowered My Car Today

First of all, thanx to Freddy (SexCivic2k1) for helping me lower my car today. It took us a total of 3 hours to do all the work. It would've been less time but the threads on my left tire rod got messed up and I had to remove it and shave some of it down to be able to get the nut back on there. I'm riding on Goldlines, BTW.

I think the car looks sooooooo much better now that it's lowered. It's a little harsher ride, obviously, but it's all good. I can't wait until I get the rims on it. I'll post pix as soon as they're installed, probably next Wed or Th.

it only took us 3 hours to install it would have been like 45min shorter but we got into a problem putting the nut back onto the left tie rod... it rides nice, and stiff... i think they are great and would highly recommend to anyone that wants <2" drop

edit: he's already said most of that ^

when did u get yours? i actually had mine lowered in december, but for some reason, they stayed about 1.5" drop until around april. it began going lower and lower in april and now sits so close to the rear wheel, looks tight as hell imo.

Hey, quit hijacking my thread!

I'll be removing the mudflaps this week when I put the new wheels on. I think they were worth it when I was in Wa because of all the snow.
