Default Lowered the S today

I lowered my S today, took me 7 1/2 hours. tons of fun. I saw the dumbest design on a car today. The top of the strut tower is under the piping for the conv motor. Worst design ever. I figured out a way to do it though, and i just got done about an hour ago. Looks good though, worth the time and effort. I would definitely not recommend doing this by yourself. Thanks for the springs Rob!!

yea but i did it by myself, there were a few things that required 4 hands and i only have two. I took two breaks but they were to get parts, tools, and a little food. I know if there is a next time i will just pay someone to do it. I will give u 100.00 when i am ready to switch the springs back to stock, that is if you want to do them for me.

LOL, sounds like a deal... I also kinda cheated bacause I had the air compressor in my garage so I used air tools most of the way. I still have my stock springs too but I dont think I will ever go back to stock!

No you haven't!

Try pulling the center glove box...

After I pulled mine to run the iPod cable for my Alpine - I almost bought a ticket to Japan to hunt down the interior engineer and kick his/her oss!

lol, that sux elroy. btw i saw u at the drive through teller line at the bank on tuesday i believe.

The rear springs are actually really weak. Does anybody have any extra rubber bushings for springs? This might help out with the travel distance on my car. I have to roll the fenders soon. rubs like crazy, even with the slightest bump my offset doesnt help either

the rear wheels rub even with the slightest bump and the rear springs seem to be a little weak. As soon as i get somene to roll my fenders it should be fine though.
