My new suspension is finally in

After about three months of sitting on my bedroom floor, my Tokico Struts and Eibach springs are finally in my car! All i can say is wow. It handles 100 times better than before and looks much more aggressive with the drop. There is about 90% less roll, virtually no squat or dive, and much crisper turn in. If i can get ahold of a camera i will post some pics.

I came to 90% by the feel. It's an interpretation on my part yes, but thats what it feels like. I paid like 600 (yay tax rebates!) for parts and 240 for install.

and rusty, you'll be happy with that setup (unless you want some crazy racetrack springrates :p)

Yeah. To get it to set at the correct height, one way is to drive it hard. My friend had a like 2 and 1/2 finger gap and he did that and he had a 2 finger gap.

What you guys are talking about is springs sagging.
