OT - Seats + Coils...INSTALLED! 
all hail KW!!!
hehehehewe installed my coilovers this afternoon. man, what fun!
they hold like nobody's bidness!!! they're so stiff, yet give such a comfortable ride at the same time! they're sick!!!
I have them dialed at medium firmness for shock rebound, and they still corner like madness!
it made me realize how badly I need good tires. The tires I have are abosolute ****
"Dunlop FM901's" they came with the rims I got, so I couldn't really complain about the price (next to nothing)...but man, they give out in a corner before the coilovers are even at half their potential! so depressing
as for the seats: HOLY MOTHER OF HERSHEYS!!! it's nuts! they're so comfy, even for a fat guy like me!!! they're awesome! once you strap down the harness, you CANNOT move in your seat! it's INSANE!
between the seats and the harness, you are glued in place, and can read the car PERFECTLY!
in all: this has been one helluva weekend! AMEN!
can't wait to show off my goodies to y'all

Rep Power: 291 yeah, i gotta get some pics and post them. then again, I'm a little paranoid about posting the pics
but...DAYUM, SO FUN! hehehe
can't wait to get real tires!
Pharoh: hopefully my driveway will be hardened enough that we can use it to do the install hehehe
working on the street is fun and all, but the driveway would be much better hehehe

Rep Power: 291 hehehe true enough!
my street is pretty dead. except everyone got their driveways repaved, so everyone has to park on the street.
it made for some interesting traffic situations
especially when I had to jack up the side of the car that was on the street!

Rep Power: 291 Yeah, I gotta say...thanks Pharoh for helping!
it wouldn't have gone so smoothly without you under the car hehehe
DNA: the coils cost me roughly $2G's. rims/rubber: $1600
camber kit...probably about 200 or so. you only need the rear, though.
if you're going to do it...take your time and do it right. I regret buying the lowering springs cuz they seriously fuked my struts and made the ride terrible
thus fuking my tires
gotta get me some new tires!

Rep Power: 291 DnarahP: It was me, my pops, Pharoh, my bro-in-law, and my bro-in-laws bro.
Went fairly quickly considering we did it on my street
I think it took about 2.5-3 hours? not 100% sure.

Rep Power: 291 LOL well like you, this fine piece of meat has been previously sold, and occasionally gets a bite taken out every once in a while by one lucky girl.
I take it you got a picture of me somehow? *looks over at Rob*
