Installed the H&R Kit myself last night. Soo hawt.

Wheel spacers where a big FAIL though. Crossfire lug bolts are "ball seat" and LOTS longer than the ones I ordered. That and the H&R 12mm spacers needs about .010 taken our of the ID to fit over the front hub.

VERY NICE !... That's how we roll. IMO that's the BEST mod for the money.
How's your rear camber ?

Looks great! I have my springs coming this week.

I've already rallied up 3 buddies to aid me. Going to cost me a 30 pack in labor.

I was thinking about adding the chrome mirrors but not sure, might be to much chrome.

Thanks Mike, looking forward to see you too. Are you leaving the mouse at home?
Where are you going to be staying? We are taking a chance and staying at the same place this year.

Your car does look really nice. This is something I have to do. Did you have any alignment issues, and did you also use spacers?

Tony looks very nice. How is the ride? I'm curious how much it changed it. My son lowered his car and when I drive it the least little bump in the road rattles the fillings in my teeth.

I have had the Eibachs on for over a year now....definitely worth it. It does ride slightly stiffer than factory, but you get used to it. I did not use any spacers and do not have any alignment issues. I have the original tires and they are wearing evenly. I attempted to do the install myself, but did not have the correct tools. Took it to a buddy at a muffler shop and had it done professionally...which i recommend.


FP, you won't be disappointed.

So, just to clarify... there isn't a Camber issue with these? My SRT-6 wears the inside of the rear tires at stock height, I wouldn't want it to be any worse.
