just what I was looking for , makes me want to get mine even quicker. have u had any problems after lowering your car though? what about scraping?

[rcboy514]

lol well no problems as far as handling or anyting coming loose, but I do have a few scraps, they are not noticable because they are on the underneath side of the bumper so it's all good.

Just be careful when you are going over or up a steep driveway or drive through and hit it at an angle then you should be good to go.

Compared to stock the handling improves sooo much! thats a fact. My gf has a 2.5 coupe and when I drive it I feel like I cant go through a corner too hard because there is soo much more body roll. I can take a corner in my car at 50mph where in her car I would stuggle to go 35-40 w/o feeling a little out of control. also we are both on stock tires

ur car looks good bro you got a lot of the smaller mods that I have on my list that I want to do like tinting the tailights and headlights. did you install your springs yourself or shop? One more question how hard was it tinting your tails?

I know you are looking for before and after with springs. Here is another option which are coilover. You can have no wheel gap at all!

Thanks man!

Headlights were a piece of cake

tails were a PITA....I have absolutely no tinting expirence, it took about a hour for each taillight and I finished with no bubbles or tears, I think I was one of the lucky ones tho.

I installed the springs myself...it took like 4 hours alone. Its really not that hard, it just takes a while and you have to buy or rent spring compressers. Just dont expect a 1 hour job if you are doing it alone.

here are a few pics from when I installed them.....

off topic. what overlays did you for your tails ?

[Desire1314]

Damn, you were still scraping on those little stockers???

I used bluebatmobile's......I just recentley stripped them off and painted them, which IMO looks a lot better so far. I painted them last weekend and they came out a nice flat black, i'll post some pics in the exterior section soon.

I did, but it was my fault. I didn't go down an incline at the right angle and too fast so It did scrape a bit, but you can't see it in the pics.

Since then I put on the 19 inch nismo wheels and I haven't scraped since.

That's good, that your 19's are having no problems. What's your tire spec? I have two different sets. 235/35/19 and 245/35/19. The 245's are on my volks right now, but I haven't put them on the car yet. Kind of hesitating about leaving the 245's on, as far as rubbing issues go.
