So i picked up my Lowering Springs today.....install them tomorrow..pics to come

Which one did you get?

cool I have mine sitting in my room gathering dust, as they have been for 2 months... how much will it cost for you to put them in? I have considered sticking mine in but i really want to wait for my brother to install them with his compressor...

MADE IN CANADA.....thats the part i like best.... 2 inch drop all around...

What kind of spring rate? What dampers will you be using with them?

i think im putting in my coilover kit on tomorrow also i will poast pics too, but i dunno what time the shop opens lol

I just got 2" H&R race springs today along with some camber kits and a strut brace, it all goes in on sunday :D

hey slim...bout time you got springs ...yeh filthy animal!!

Same question to you.... what dampers are you using with those springs? The stockers will be shot in a couple of months, and not ride too good...

stock shock will work and will last for a while. H&R now makes a "touring" cup kit which only drops the car 1.5" iirc. comes with shocks and is matched and balanced perfectly like the standard Cup kit with the big Drop.

where do you guys go to get these installed?

and how much are you expected to fork out to get it all put in?

for now i am using the stock shocks/struts, l8er on i will replace them but for now its all i got, i am installing them in my garage.

hmmm, how much did i pay hmmm lets see..

$187.00 for the springs tax included
and um..

$8 bucks to install them....see, i did it myself since i'm a master mechanic ( in my own head anyhow)

Okay so you start by taking off yer wheels...YUP..its true





Fronts



Rears



Then you purposely park next to a stock ZX5 for a pic



Then you wash the filthy beast




Before



After




I was surprised at just how easy this was. It took me just under 2 hours to do all four springs. Mind you the first one, was the learning one....what does what what goes where kinda thing..after that...it was cake...Do it yourself if you can...save atleast 300 bones.

DUDE THATS HOT.. SAME KIT I GOT! I LOVE THEM.. NOW BUY MY WHEELS :P
