hey guys, just to update. i was going to start early in the AM with the oil/diff/tranny fluid change before i do the coilovers. ill probably start with the coilovers before lunch.

additionally, if you guys also have projects you want to do, i dont mind you guys using my driveway and tools. ill probably order some pizza and grab some beers as well. PM me if you're down.

here's a quick pic i just took on my phone to give you an idea. the front is about 1.25 inches lower and the rear is about 1.5inches lower, but thats a rough tape measurement estimation from stock. car drives great and after a few test around some hard corners i can certainly tell that the car feels more "sure of itself" going into corners.
