Oh yeah I've been following it. I'm having a shop do it though so when they test drive it they will fix whatever goes wrong (lets hope not & knock on wood). I would do it myself but I don't have a spring compressor nor do I know how to do suspension work.

Come back again when you're riding over bumpy roads and the car won't stop bouncing.

Do it once, do it right.

Alight i was a broke student (still is) and wanted to slam my car. Like u i wanted to be lower and cared less about performance.

I did it with tein s-techs and stock shocks. honestly, if u dont have money go for it but only if ur doing it urself.

Cause installing takes time. So if u do it at a shop its $$$ to do them twice cause eventually you want to change ur shocks. But if u have no money then use ur stock shocks and do ur own work. just know its gonna have to be changed later on when ur stock ones go.

Dont forget about alignment. thats money too. just see if u think ur shocks will last a bit.

this is how mine look after teins.. (just cause pictures make threads more interesting)
