Well Its Done

[FuelSlut]

After 12 long hours yesterday, the car is finally lowered,H&R race with isos, along with mm caster camber plates, steeda bumpsteer kit, and x2 ball joints. It has not been aligned yet so it still looks a little off.

Oh and I dont know how the rest of you did your rear springs, but the rental tool from autozone for compressing the springs SUCKS, it was misery trying to get the rear springs to get in.

Here are a few pics, also the antenna delete enjoy.

Yes I do I rerouted the antenna up through the r/s a post, and up by the windshield. Once in a while I get a little static in certain areas but nothing too annoying. Plus I have sirius satellite.

Looks real good. I like antenna delete. Kevin "rdsnake" did mine a few years ago and only took him less than hour to drop the rear springs and put them back in.

All it basically is, you remove the stock mast and antenna, and then its of your favorite body shop the grind out the 3 bolt holes and they weld a plate on the bottom of your fender. Then everything is filled in and smoothed out and painted. Is that what you were looking for?

Rear springs were a bitch on mine, pulled the wheels, dropped the control arm, then got my spring compressor and an impact and squeezed them bitchs, so you are not alone man

Way to much work to do rear springs. I drop the lower shock bolt and tie rod ends, Remove the back IRS bolts and lower the whole irs about 6 inches or so (untill it hits the exhaust) and the springs fall right out. Takes about half a hour or so.

Looks good tho man! Who do u like those ball joints?

Thanks now I just need to get it aligned. As far as the ball joints go I like them I had them on my 02 gt, plus they are greasable. And as much reading as I have done on lowering the car most people say you should instal the x2's they help alot.

And I figured as much that most people are dropping the whole IRS because there is no way everyone is doing it like I did that was a serious pain in the ass.

Do you have the x2?
