Took the back seat out... found some pretty bro sound system cables. The previous owner must have had some serious ice. He pulled the head unit, speakers, and amp before I picked it up from him... saves me the trouble, but I wish he would have pulled all the wires too. Looks like the front carpet will be coming out tonight.

these are Godspeed, and they are great for me. The ride is nice , and can be adjusted as far as ride comfort and height. I have it set on super soft and I love them. It also gets real low as you can see in my sig, and still has more room to go low. Complains depend per person and how they take care of their ride. this does all of the features of any others a a fraction of the cost. If you want to spend more you can. I was going to buy the Stance LX +'s and those are great, but these fit my budget and function. :dblthumb:
thanks how much were they with shipping and where did you get them?

A buddy of mine has some godspeed coilovers on his car they seem to ride nice for being cheap
Another one of my friends has emusa coilovers on his car roughly like 500$ shiped off ebay and they ride suprisingly nice too.

I like my k-sports in the front, kyb gyx in the rear w/ground control sleeve and eibach springs.
i have the rears for the k sports but i want to order new struts for them before i put them on they are way past blown and real bouncy.

I got my EMUSA's from Andy Vaughn at AutoVaughn Performance in Murfreesboro, TN. Had them for 2 years. I don't track my car of course cause it's still auto but these middle tennessee roads suck hard and they have been troopers. I feel I've already got my money's worth and I'm still going. My car is also a DD...my only car. Nobody that have purchased theirs through him have returned them and as far as I know it's 15+ people.

Word. My best friend goes to Memphis. I'm from Hermitage (Nashville), but I go to MTSU in Murfreesboro. I feel your pain...I have very little time to work on the car during the semester so I've been busting my arse lately to get most of my maintenance list done. Also why it's still an auto...I can throw on some coils or an exhaust and wheels, but not rip a transmission out and do a swap. I know it doesn't take long, but with my luck it would end up being down for a few days and I'd be S.O.L. Hit me up if you come up here for IA or a drift comp or something.

My back bumper hit a curb at a funny angle in downtown Atlanta and my exhaust rubber holders broke loose....like three of them were already broken.... so my pipe was literally dragging. i had to tie the effin thing up with an electrical cord i had in my bag of tricks. ( I had no idea where the power cord came from). Went to Walgreens and got some zip ties. It was the only thing I could find. Come to find out, the electrical cord worked better than the zip ties.

After an hour of searching i finally found an Autozone. i got one of the metal clips and bought some of the rubber hanger thingies.

It was the most embarrassing thing to be riding down Piedmont or MLK drive with your exhaust draggin like a clunker.

Finally figured out the cause of my AFR being all over the place and why the car bogs down so hard/much. Replaced distibuter. Crank angle sensor failed. Its nice to have my engine running right again. :bigthumb: :mike
