Very nice set-up bro! Can you tell a difference in handling? Where did you get your gear?

Looks great!


Quick Question though....The exhuast shroud that you painted black. I wanted to do that but was it easy to just unbolt and paint because I know there is an O2 sensors.


Thanks!

well, i installed the shocks together with the springs, so i dont really know how it felt like with just the springs and with the springs and shocks, but i know once i got it lowered the ride was just way stiffer. felt more to the ground, which was what i wanted...sometimes i would feel as if my car would want to tilt over, especially on turns and stuff like that...like an suv. the rear sway bar helped alot as well.

honestly man, its easy to take it off, but the only issue is that u have to unscrew the 02 sensor, and sometimes they strip, so its very risky. that sensor alone is about $150. so u just gotta be careful not to strip the thread on it.

You felt like it wanted to tilt over? That's not good is it? Did the front strut bar help with that at all?

when i said that i meant that i would feel the body of the car doing too much movement during turns...with the sway bar,etc, if feels more stiff.
