Hi folks, I received the springs late yesterday (6:00PM). Went to the shop first thing in the morning. They installed the springs in 2 hours and charged me $ 160 USD.

As expected the car looks awsome, the drop is perfect for me. The ride quality is very similar to the stock springs, It kinda feel better (smoother) at times. Since I had to come to the office after the install, I just grap my camera and took some pics. But guess what, on my way to the office, I realized that the camera did not have memory stick.

So I just took some pics with my cel. I will add better pics later.

I apologize for :1. Dirty car.2. Picture quality3. Picture backdrop. (On my way to office)Here:

Thank you all for the compliments.

Yes, Wheels are next on my wishlist. I also want to put sway bars (whenever is available) and exhaust.

It is a local shop called Kennedy for Tires (maybe a franchise). The sell tires and do oil changes. They normally charge $90 dlls an hour and it took them 2 hours to install the springs. So it should have been $180, but the guy gave me a discount of $20.

$300 is too much... Are they quoting you alignment as well? I did not do the alignment to the tires.

I don't feel any difference. Pro kit is only a moderate drop, I will do alignment when I buy wheels and tires.
