Rep Power: 0 Here are most of my pics, sorry some of them didn't turn out better, I'm still adjusting brightness on some for better results. These should also be big enough for desktop pics, sorry bout the size, but I warned you about 56k [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

Dial-up sucks!! [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-frown.gif[/IMG] The pics, that I saw, were really good. I can't wait until it gets warm and we can do it all over again.

Rep Power: 0 I'm up for any meet in Ohio - just need to thaw off the snow so I can put my real wheels back on! (I hate stock tires [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG] ) Good job on the pics, first time the car's been photographed with the clear headlights and not the projectors..... I think that I might be selling the projectors..... any takers? Looking for around $125 for em, black housing TYCs PM me if interested...... anyone except LJ, you know I'd actually want to get paid for them at some point.....

Rep Power: 0 crap! I had to try. How about progress group 2" Lowering Springs? Very stiff but not too bouncy, and you know how good my car looks with them! They are coming off in favor of factory springs and snow tires for the winter, not that I don't love them, because I do, but I think I'm going with the Tein setup or possibly the honda performance setup next year so I can clear 19's...
the progress group springs will only clear 18's and my driveway is pretty steep, so I need to raise up a bit anyways.

Rep Power: 0 Hmmmm that sounds interesting to me - did you need a camber kit to install them or did you just not screw with that? I am looking to lower my car this coming spring (I have 17 inch wheels for the nice weather so clearance isn't much of a problem) and I was gonna go with the goldline springs...... you got any good pictures of just your tires so I can get a look at the fender gap?

Rep Power: 0 check out my members rides profile, and you'll get a pretty good idea of the stance that it produces. tomorrow when i get my digi cam back from my friend and it is daytime again, i'll get some closeups of it and you can see the gap.
you will need a camber kit probably. you won't ruin your tires completely in one summer without it, and you will only need the rear camber correction kit, the front is alignable with these springs. you'll wear the inside of the rear tires only.
i do not run a camber kit, because i change wheels and tires so often i've never really worn a set out, and i run my rims/tires for 2 months before changing, so if that tells you how little it wears, maybe that will give you some idea.

Rep Power: 0 I took a look at the ride pics they look very nice (didn't know you tricked out the trunk too.... you'll have to show me that later it's pretty cool lookin [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/IMG] ) - I was thinking since you were so big on doing the work yourself that maybe you might like to help transfer then over to my car..... My dad's got a farm out off of route 36 that's nice for working on cars in the spring in summer - probably could make a mini meet out of it for those that wanna cruse in from the Dayton area (maybe around a 30 -45 minute drive from Dayton)..... just an idea! Let me know

Rep Power: 0 mike: That sounds like a great idea. I'll actually have the springs off on sunday... I'll need to clean them up a bit, but I hope you like them, that sounds like a perfect trade... i could really use those projecters, and actually you met my GF at applebees that night, she loved the projectors of yours that i took pics of out in sunbury and i told her on the phone today we might be trade.. she thinks it's a great idea.
i'm all about it if you are... still want some closeup pics?

Rep Power: 0 I'm not really too worried about the color of the spring, I'm more curious as to the ride of them verus stock - you mentioned that they weren't too bouncy - I just want to know if they reduce body roll in turns and such but it sounds like a deal to me - I'd just need to clean up the projectors a bit (bugs are a tad annoying around here [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG] ) but they are all ready to be bolted right in, should be aimed pretty good as well (at least better than when I got them originally!) plus they have a pair of (almost) new xenon bulbs in them that look really slick, much better than the stock bulbs that came with them - but I have them to if you'd like em. Just on a side note, my step brother and I might be hitting up the slopes next weekend - I'll keep ya posted if you are interested in joining us.

Rep Power: 0 The body roll is reduced significantly, it handles like a shifter cart... amazing cornering speeds... a stiff ride, but not completely bone shattering. My car handles well with them, I'll miss them but I need to be not quite so low.
As for the bulbs, you do whatever you want, the xenon's that are in them would be great but I want the deal to work out best for the both of us.
As for skiing next weekend, it would have to be a sunday thing for me, I work on saturdays. I could be there early sunday morning, and ski all day... let me know whats up.
EDIT: By the way... are you POSITIVE there's nothing at all you would trade me for the front lip? C'mon dude, I'm desperate to get rid of that thing... If anybody else wants a wings west front lip for $100-150 or an even trade for a piece of equipment, PM me or say something here!

Rep Power: 0 I'll let you know on the skiing stuff, I think we are a go on the trade, I'll throw in both sets of bulbs too because I won't need them. About the lip - nope I'm pretty sure I'm gonna go with xenon kit at some point..... whenever I get rich and famous [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

Rep Power: 0 #1 - A hug from you, LJ, wouldn't be enough for that wings west lip.
#2 - I'm not so sure your girlfriend would like that, she may try to get revenge and get a little teabagging on.
#3 - You can't afford to hug me, you can't even afford to pay attention! [IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG]
