all in one day, i put on the BARELY used magnaflow exhaust system i bought from rsheak, and got some coilover adjustables put on for about a 1.5" drop in the front and almost 2" in the back. looks sick....pics soon when i get 'er cleaned up!

btw-the guys that did my springs did a fantastic job. 2 hours flat, for $120! Ross and Lew Auto Service and Repair (515 Central Ave West St. Paul, MN. Ross-651-263-7967 Lew-651-216-0063) call and set up an appt, I just had to give these guys a huge shout out

pics needed. it's great getting multiple mods done at one time.... but for $120, I'd rather throw my own springs on. only takes 2 hours for a newbie... but I am broke so I value my time differently.

Hope ya like it!

I was psyched when I threw my wheels/suspension, and exhaust on all at one time!

I would have been all over putting them on myself, but i had never done them, and didnt have the tools necessary ,i.e. compression tool or nuematic guns to make it not take me 5 hours lol. i had the money saved for it, so i was happy to pay for nice work

they were new...something i bought online for clearance. but the guys that put them on say they are pretty nice, even better than what they had on their own cars at one point. so, im pleased so far.

Nice, congrats! I remember always telling myself that I was never going to lower my cars. Then once the car was put back on the ground after the springs were put in the car settled down lower than what I was used to.. I was like daaaayum :shock: thats hot
