Today is very nice weather, I would be cleaning my car if I had it.

I wanted to clean mine as well--but the forecast is rain for tomorrow and I'd rather not be pissed during the work week sooo...I'll wait.

I want to get those springs in too, don't worry...it'll happen.

So yea!
Ok... THAT "Better Than Ezra." Yeah. No offense, of course, I'm just not into alternative rock... never was. I'm a "Big Rock," "Hard Rock," and occasional Metal guy. I also like Trance, chill, techno, industrial, etc... blah, blah, blah... But as for other forms of "New Rock"? As I said, not exactly into it.

Hey, thanks!

It's a little too chilly for me to be getting under my car today..... It is possible that we will see 80 degree temperatures within a few weeks.

Looks great, digging the new stance. I've forgotten how much room there was before the drop

Now the big question...did you go have some fun in it after the install? I know T_C is enjoying the springs on his station wagon, how about you? And I call it a station wagon, because that is how they are titled here.

Looking better and what is next on the list to be crossed off eventually?

I am gonna have some fun later tonight..but cleaning up and getting rested was the first priority. I'm pooped!

Alignment on Wednesday---I said that, I believe.

Next mods are probably getting that rear diffuser painted, winglets or front lip, and maybe an aftermarket spoiler.

Then some OEM window visors, new shift boot...little stuff.

Other than that...intake maybe, and wheels and tires late this summer or fall.

Yes, I agree! Saweet Jesus! I'm loving them so far...even on a really steep driveway on the way to and from dinner, not a scrape in site.

So now I can without a worry.

I scraped the front lip big time pulling into H&R Block.....At least I made it to the appointment on time.

With the Swift Mach Springs and Enkei RPF1 wheels my little station wagon rides and handles like a G.T. car..... The super charger helps a lot too.

It rides great! No knocking, no bumping, no bouncing...smooth sailing. Feels tighter and sportier but my S.O. doesn't complain about the ride, so we're good! :-D

I installed my springs like ages ago and never got an alignment. everyone always told me to let the springs settle in before getting an alignment.

looking good!!

Yeah...I've driven probably 50 miles so far.
And another 20 today for a dentist appointment :-(

So I think she'll be settled by then.

Plus, I don't have any time to wait much longer--Spring break is this week--so I have time now, but won't have much time later. And the one and only alignment shop in town stays busy!

I'm going at 8am tomorrow...YIKES!
