You're finally getting some good taste.

***Punks_Not_Dead5*** · 09-07-2007, 02:19 PM

^ lol thanks!

You're going to be really happy with your decision I suspect.

Now you just need to get some Gen 5.5 taillights, wheels, and a grill.

I'm keeping the tail lights, but am thinking of a new grill, my uncle has the diamond mesh up at the cottage, so i'm going to ask him for it. and i'm saving up over the winter for new wheels in the spring/beginning of summer!

Reason i'm not rushing for new wheels is the wheels were brand new when i bought the car a year ago.

Lammy, You'res will be in next week!!!

I know there's different opinions on what to do here. But should i get an alignment right away? (being the alignment shop is right beside where i'm getting them installed) or should i wait a few weeks for them to settle? (i might have to do this anyway til i get another paycheck).

But i'd like your opinions please and thank you

Align it right away.

Any settling of the springs will not affect the alignment specifications significantly. If it did auto manufacturers and racing teams would really have a hell of a time getting cars aligned.

***Yazovets*** · 09-07-2007, 05:10 PM

Aside from possibly lowering the car, what do aftermarket springs do?

Camread · 09-07-2007, 05:19 PM

i think thats it - just lowers it

That's what i thought the answer would be, thanks for the reassurance

stiffens up the ride for better handling. Though may not be too noticeable being that i have an SE and it's pretty solid now. I have a lot of twist turns going up to the cottage, can't wait to see how much better the handling is.
