Keith,
1st of, I SAW YOU TODAY ON Golf and Elmhurst at 7. I was in my G35, I highbeamed you but i guess you didn't see.

2nd WOW, how much of a drop is that??? Don't make the mistake of doing what i did with the civic and keeping the stock struts with the lowering springs. YOU'LL BLOW THEM WITHIN A WEEK!

CAR LOOKS COOL :-)

not true, I still have my stock fronts in, and I ran w/ stock rears for a year w/ neuspeed springs, my fronts are still going strong and the only reason I replaced my rears was cause I was doing some work and my buddy got me a discout at napa for them... Oh yea, my vic has been lowerd for almost 2 years now, btw... lol

keith is your rear tire is very close to the fender ???

thats what i had to do...cuz if u dont then if u put more then two people in to the back seat and go over the big bump then their is a chance that tire might hit the fender
