Sunroof's look nice and all but i dont think they are too safe. lol not like i ever cared but ya if you flip over...i wouldnt want a sunroof...and when it rains, cause you know one day/year down that road that sunroof is bound to leak later. But besides that they look cool.

Nice springs but dont you wish your car was lower?! I would have my V slammed to the ground. Or at least want to have my tires tucked in a bit

nope down here in SoCal....

thanks for the comments everyone.....yes I did install them myself, took about 2 hours with some basic tools.....no I haven't gotten an allignment yet, it tracks straight as an arrow though......the ride is much more responsive now....before it felt really top heavy...now the body roll is very minimized.....its about a 1.5 drop which if you drive alot like I do its plenty and I am sure it will settle even more over the coming months......tucking rims is cool until you have to actually drive somewhere.....airstruts would be the way to go for that......I did take alot of DIY pics and I plan on writing a DIY for the site....it really wasn't that difficult
