I Finally put my ksport springs on

took about 45 mintues...talk about EASY!!! anyway heres a sideshot



you can see more at my car domain http://www.cardomain.com/ride/3224039

let me know what you think! i think it looks 100x better

oh yeah about 30 mintues after it was done i wanted to test drive and check the steering well we start going down this curvy road and a possum runs out in front of me, i swerve and miss it (amazing difference in handling by the way) and hit a pothole so hard, my check tire pressure light comes on and right front dropped to 22psi and slow leaking, i get back to the garage jack it up and check it out, my rim is bent so bad, i tryed pounding it back but ended up having to go to the junkyard getting a steely and cashing in a favor from one of my dads friends to switch the tire and valve stem for me....so im only out 20$ but it sucked...

it was a 2" drop on front and 2.5" on rear, so yeah the rear is a tad bit lower, and cheap springs FTW actually compared it to a friend on mine whos on sportlines and the ksports seems to handle better (in his opinion) and the tint is on the lens, wish i would have just blacked the inside, killed my light and its painted on so i had to buy different lights baught gen 2 projectors, just paitently waiting for them

and as for the lowering before wheels, lowering is performance wheels are looks, i want to get 17"s with 205 tires, hoping ill still have a bit of wheel clearnce

Wheels and tires are massive performance mod......

I know virtually every spring kit lowers more in back than in front, I meant that your car actually looks like its leaning backwards

I cant decide what lights I like best......I want black headlights, but think most aftermarket ones look bad, and refuse to spend big dollars on custom lights.....sooo I am stuck with stock for now.
