its even more slammed in person after 6 months of use. Just like Paul Wall says in his song Sittin' sideways........."I'm low to the earth.......peoples feelings get hurt."

My s-techs most be special edition cuz my sits lower than most springs, even other s-techs. My uncle did the work, so I don't know what happen. I'll post a pic 2morrow at RCC parking lot. My box is so low that my DC shoes clear it by just an inch or 2.

Future mods??? Everything.......tein ss coilovers with pillowballs, all cusco products for the front, and gt-spec rear strut bar and progress sway bar for the rear.

I also noticed, does the Strup exhaust rub the bumper? I'm planning to put one.

My advice, if u are keeping the car for a while, save for coilovers. Springs are good for desperation needs, lol.

I heard that the version 1 strup doesnt. When i put on my version 2 however there was problems. I didnt want my bumper to melt off so i fixed it that day. I bought longer rubber hangers, then i had to rig something like a wire to hold it in the middle thats all. About 8 bucks worth of mods and it was set.
oh believe me ive been rolling on just springs for about 15 thousand and my shocks are going it handles pretty good now with my current setup, but with my new one is gonna be awesome for a box, i have a feeling.

those wheels have a bad offset for these cars. theyre also kinda heavy. well really heavy for 15's .

look at something like a drag dr20 only 15 pounds versus 18.


get some nice coilovers.

and you can run 215's on a 7 inch rim. no need for an 8.
