Hey Lek ------>

Any word on the spring install? I'm trying to get it done before the weekend of the 18th? If not looks like I'll have to get ahold of Ultimate to help me out..

Dude I already replied LOL on the performance shop thread. My friend said he might be able to do it this weekend. It might take a whole day. He says the rear is easy. The fronts are a little harder and takes more time. He can do it for 200. But if it ends up to be easier than he thought then im sure he'll reduce the price.

arjunz - no springs installed yet, I was probably bitching about my wheel gap on the front tires... These springs should help out, but my bumper is so low that I can't drop it as much as I want to..

I wouldn't drop it that much. It would really effect the performance and handling. You'll need alignment, sways, etc.

Regardless of whether you drop, consider sways - they really reduce body roll.

Im getting sways. But I'm not dropping. Still deciding on Nismo's or 350evo's.

Yup, Hotchkis TVS kit to be more accurate (sway and spring). Sure, they aren't the best and there are people that argue they should have collars. For me, they are doing what I hoped they would - YMMV. I really like how they are adjustable too, so they were first at soft so I could get used to them, and then I dialed them in to make them stiffer. You don't want to be surprised by very different new driving dynamics.

I droped mine with the Tein H tech that gave me about a one inch drop wich is more than enough for a lower center of gravity and looks, along with the Nismo sways wich reduced body roll by a hole lot considering the weight of the G, and did not need a new camber adjuster. Only an alignment.
