Christmas continued, the coils are in..
Aiite so i've finally gotten my coils in... got my new VRD grille in... and my premium 08 radio...
-so apparently ima have to rebuild the front coils... or atleast the upper mount..
-Getting Alignments on monday
-upgrade sway bars
-i need to replace the end links soon cuz it looks like the front left is bent by a hairline..
-need to get new brakes and rotor and steel lines, pads are down to 2-3mm...
-rear end bumper hole still needs to be fixed and badge filled in..
this should all be done by summer.. as for now i've spent way too much money already lol, and heres the result with a few pictures, i didnt slam it because i want to be able to upgrade to 18s or something for the future and not rub and stuff... havnt gotten the alignment yet so its all ***'d up and stuff lol... but yes it does look better than before..

lol...id figure out how to lower them instead of taking it to a shop...theyre gonna charge you up the butt for something that literally takes 30 minutes to do yourself at home.

for lowering you dont need any tools except for the ones provided with the coilovers... only other thing youll need is a bit of muscle and a ruler to make sure you dont get an uneven drop.
