Talking Another Stance Coilover happy customer

Got the rear ones installed in like 2 hrs. i know;i'm bad. didn't had jack stands so i use my wifes jack, mine and the rims . don't have any pics yet because my wife has it as an alarm and she doesn't have a clue what i was doing in the garage. she works tonight so i will take some pics and post them later. didn't had time to do the fronts but the fronts could take some time since i want to do every thing at the same time;
sway bar endlinks ( powergrid)
sway bar (eibach)
steering spacer(ottp#2)

very pleased with the drop, but then again it's too much for the moment i have to raise them. i'll be searching meanwhile looking for the safest highest point so my wife doesn't suspect. i bought a new home in riverview,tampa and i'm suppost to be saving, which i'm not. but the car was really bumpy, so that's why i bought it.

if you guys want to post different heights of your cars, you are more than welcome.

^^^ well in that case,SHE DOES CARE on what you buy. Trust me a radio with usb and aux output for $50. No I don't think so. So at least she did let me buy one. Kenwood x494. It's on its way.

you can see the radio on the 4th page of my cardomain. Feel free to leave comments. :p
