Car is FINALLY lowered!!
 
After saving up for this since about april, i finally got the tein s-techs and tokico HP blue struts and went to work this past saturday on getting them installed. It took a little longer than expected, but the process went fairly smooth. I cut the bump stops slightly so that it rode a little smoother... the only problem that i had was with the front swaybar end links hitting the tie-rod ends...so if you have a 99-00 (only some 2000s) you may have to go out and buy longer endlinks to avoid this problem... i drove about 500 miles with the new setup (including some fun back-woods PA roads) and i love it...here are some pics and let me know what you think...

I see red X's!

Roddimus Prime August-24th-2005 03:53 PM

way too huge and dark to see anything. Try some daytime shots where you can get the whole car in one frame!

I bet it's nice though.

JDM-P5 August-24th-2005 04:01 PM

I wanna see!

Damn, them are some big pics!
Looks good, tho'. I think the sedans have a really nice stance when lowered.

I want 2C2! compare them to my photochopped ones... :)

jbiird317 August-24th-2005 10:05 PM

haha ok i promise some daytime pics tomorrow (without plastic bird in the way), tried getting a view of amish country in the back of these, but i guess it was too dark for my crappy camera lol

Looks good, I'll lower mine, eventually....

jbiird317 August-25th-2005 09:25 AM

Jackelope August-25th-2005 09:28 AM

jbiird317 August-25th-2005 09:30 AM

Matty Mooling August-25th-2005 09:32 AM

jbiird317 August-25th-2005 09:42 AM

ive only done it once, but it wasnt as hard as i expected...then again, i did have a freind helping me with impact guns and an air compressor, without that, it wouldve taken me days...
