drop, exauhst, kit......man am I tired...

Well, this weekend I put my springs in, installed the magnaflow, and put on my Kaminari kit. A lot of work for 2 days! I also hardwired my radar detector, big props to RallyEX for the DIY, and today I am installing my neons. After putting in my goldlines, I find the ride to be better than stock in general, except over potholes and large bumps. It said to trim my bump stops, but I didn't know what they were, and couldn't identify them, so I didn't trim anything. I do bottom out sometimes. My alignment is a little off, and I definetly need a camber kit. Especially in the rear. Also, my steering feels a little more loose. Any one else notice this? Magnaflow was very easy to install, they even gave me a down pipe from the headers to the cat. It touches my kit in the rear, so I am going to get some longer rubber hangers so it doesn't burrn my kit. The kit was very easy to install. A couple of screws and sticky tape. Best of all, I had a good friend paint it for $200! I do scrape here and there, mostly on steep inclines. The front of the kit, and the resonator scrape. Other than that, it went pretty smooth. I love that my radar detector doesn't take up the power supply. Now my girlfriend can put her drinks in there. Well, these pics show a before and after shot. I had a lot of stuff in the trunk totaling about 50lbs, so that's why the rear looks a little low. Don't forget to check out the rest of the pics in my member's ride section. And if anybody can help me identify what the bump stops are, I would appreciate it.

I dig the Toxxins, but they're too expensive and I want the center ring in blue. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-disgusted.gif[/IMG] Other than that, very clean and nice.

Thanks guys. Do you think I should lose the euro tails? I had the chrome ones and I thought they were too much, so I bought the black housing ones. What do you think? I still can't decide If I like them.
