Well that's even better. Lol

I made the mistake of buying Skunk2 springs in the beginning and hated the drop, looked like crap, back was lower than the front and the car wasn't even that low.

I rode on springs for about 6 months and got my Tein SSP coils (another mistake) should have went with D2, those have the most drop of any coilover I've seen for the box.

They still haven't named a price or the while kit either, wondering what's going on over there. The manifolds are pure sex though.

No, you didn't run me off, I've been busy with work an all.

Ok So i thought you were originally talking about getting the whole new lowering set up (not just springs) in the beginning. Now i understand you are talking about just springs. The bad thing about changing out those is, is i've heard its really dangerous.. so idk.. You're making it sound easy but aren't i supposed to use some kind of compression tool for this? idk ive heard a few horror stories so its kinda got me hesitant..
Also will this change the way or how the box rides? - it wont make it a rough ride will it? Keep in mind i have to drive it all the way to Cali.. So i'm being really cautious about what i'm (first time) changing..

Drew has spring compressors, but they aren't needed on our cars, the springs are barely compressed in our struts.

The ride is not bad at all. Might be a little bumpier than stock, but not by much. It's nothing like my box, driving my box is like driving a tank lol.

UGH hey dane - got a problem ALREADY. The company that replaced the windsheild before i bought it - didn't replace it properly so they gotta do a complete new one friday X/ && of course its been raining the past few days like crazy > <

Anyway- Thought about it, ill most def use the advice about the springs but i should prob wait till after the cali drive - & when honda finally sends me my check - i'll be able purchase & swap a few things.. something that sets it apart but doesn't / couldn't affect the fact i need to drive it every day & don't have a garage. LOl. . . suggestions ? was thinking about adding 'the rack'. . . cuz you know thats mah fave XD

& Thanks for a Cali welcome
