USA Lowering springs

Finally bought myself a set of Tien S-tech springs. I was supposed to get them today, but UPS was screwing around too much and i should have them tomorrow. As soon as I get em installed, (and add batteries to my camera) I'll get some pics posted.

Yeh, roads up here aren't much better. I swear Penn-DOT has an agreement with the tire companies so you are forced to replace your rubber every time ya hit a bump. I was thinking of going with the H-techs, but i wanted a little lower stance. What was your estimated drop and actual drop? I thought you'd mentioned before about it being lower then advertised... Low is good, esp to fill the 4 foot wheel gap on the Trix.

yeah actually the dro was pretty accurate i went about 1.8-1.9 in te front and about 1.6-1.7 in the back and i love the way it rides and how it stands. i can still clear some things but not everything anymore since i am not 4x4-ing. i will post some pics of mine. but they def. settled a lil bit lower then advertised

Awesome pics of that meet btw. I'm looking to get those same taillights that the silver one has. TYC black or CF. What kind of fan are you running and do they make double racing fans for the XR's engine, or is that limited to the XRS?

Yeh i saw a pair of those JDM diamond black headlights crazy cheap on ebay. As for the tails, is it normal for them to run $160 a set? Yeh im referring to the radiator fan, mine is only a single 12 or 14", those look like double 8"s.
