I just put some on , can't wait to try the car...I have a pro-kit to match that..This week end will be "The Day".... :)



I can give you feedback this week end.
Last year all I had was stock shocks and struts with the pro-kit , I was bottomming out pretty bad on the front.. :angry:

what price did u buy those for? and was it on ebay?

[mpcv2000]

I bought them locally for $500.00 CDN "New"

[NikiterZTS]

soooo....after long enough search on the internet and even local shops i ended up ordering these items

-a set of KW lowering springs (1.6" drop) that were on sale for $98USD (with shipping it came to $134USD)


-a set of KYB AGX, i did a long search on these...and ebay was still cheapper then local stores and other internet shops , $358USD with shipping


-with installation im still debating 'cause this is already costing me....im gonna do it myself if someone who has done it before and willing to help
but i asso did search on local shops and got quoted around $400-$500CAD
but then i posted a thread on local "race-boy" site and one of the performance shops in waterloo is willing to do it for me for $228cad after taxes

I'll do it for you if you pay the beer , it's not hard to do if you have some bacis mechanic tools but we are 6 hours away... ;)

You should start spraying some PB blasting or WD40 on the bolts just to let them soak . On my 03 I was unable to remove the bolts of the rear lower arms so I had to cut and buy new ones , $90.00 a pieces + bolts. I will suggest to give it a try first to see if they are seized . I don't think you are ready to dump $200.00 + over what you already spent..

Just something to think about. :)

aaaah so far.....damn it.......

Having my Dynamic/SHM suspension swap done cost me over $500 to have it done at a shop. BUT, that included taking the front subframe apart to access the swaybar, and put the newer bigger one in, as well as a 4-wheel alignment after everything was said and done too. Once it was done, I went out and worked on seating the setup, and when that was done, I was outmanuevering more expensive cars through traffic and tight corners with ease.

The stuff you chose is pretty decent...I'm sure you'll get good results from it.

i found a shop in Cambridge that does the install for $171 after tax....then i'd probably will have to go to CT to get alignment....$80

Actually, they have an alignment special on right now for $60, not as bad. You're getting a hell of a deal at $171 to install all that, I had to spend $350 for labour for springs last year( unaware of TSB)

[NikiterZTS]

what i did is....i posted on local car board that im looking for a shop to get the install for a cheapper then regular shops....and then all the close by shops started posting from like $400 to $326 then $228 and then one shop PM'ed me and was like "$171 with taxes included, i just did not wanna post it cause it would like i wanna cut them all up" lol

[NikiterZTS]
