I like big butts and I cannot lie. All you otha brothas can't deny. When a girl walks in with an itty bitty waist and a big round thing in your face you get sprung...

What kind of springs? I'm trying to debate on getting springs now or just getting coilovers in the spring... wow, I used two different versions of the same word in one sentence... I'm such a cunning linguist.

Will, you haven't got the beige JDM hotness put on yet? :D

I guess I'm no one to talk. I haven't done my brakes yet. I would try to get them done before the weekend but I have so much freakin' homework to do, it isn't even funny. But I guess that is what I get for procrastinating. I can't wait until this semester is over!!!

I put my springs in the night I brought my car home, along with my TRD exhaust. You guys are some slackers. :)

Yay, the pumpkin needs a pumpkin stem for its wheels... and as for your brakes, Kev... I forgot you won those. You suck. All I got was a stomach ache from those one dollar cheeseteaks...

I got brakes, but no aches! I didn't eat anything there. I had to save my $$ for the tolls on the way back home! Mikey offered to get me somethin' (Mikey rocks!) but I didn't want to do that. It was my fault for not stopping at the bank before I met up with everyone. Live and learn. :)

Uncompiled If you are intrested in getting springs I would go with goldlines. I have them on my box they ride nice and handle well in the turns. 160.00 shipped.I have had mine in since January 28th

Hrm... you think it's worth it if I'm just going to get coilovers in the spring? I'm probably going to go JIC Magic FLA-T2 because I want to be able to adjust my ride height and maintain full suspension travel.

I just have to decide if I'm actually going to autocross my xB or not. If I don't, then I might have to ask people what they're running at the Jillians get together. blackxb has a nice drop. It looks really aggressive, so I can't wait to see Mikey's new stance. :)

I do believe blackxb has goldlines as well.

yeah you are correct about that. they are nice. but with the systen m i have in the back i think the back sits lower but it might just be the gap in the ender well... can't wait till i get my shims...

I wish I had some DFs. Actually, I think they might be a bit low considering I drive thru Baltimore city everyday going to school.

Mikey, did you cut your bumpstops? How's the ride?

The tanabes come with new bumpstops. For a more then 2 inch drop, so far the ride seems rather good. Stiffer fo sho... but still good. They say spring rate is only 10% above stock. This needs more testing. vrrrooooOOOOOOM!
