TC RS 5.0 suspension

i just signed and put my $500 down on the rs 5.0
and noticed that the trd springs doesn't come with the shocks.. I asked the dealer if this would be ok for the car he said the stock shocks are good enough for the vehicle. general rule of thumb from what i heard was " if the springs are changed to lower springs and the shocks aren't changed with them, then you lower the life of all the all other parts"


what are your thoughts ?

ohh and i went ahead and asked the dealer to add them anywaysarty:

TRD barely drops the car. You need to worry about changing shocks if you drop the car more than 2 inches. I wish I had your kind of money cos TRD is overpriced

yea... i wish i had the kind of money i think i have... lol i went for the shocks cuz its apart of the finance plan otherwise i might not have gotten any for year or so... ( dont have the tools to do it myself.. and I don't really have any friends in the houston area... to busy with work )

Ah yeah I got you. What color is the 5.0? How much are you gonna be paying a month?

color is piano black.... which is fancy dealer lingo for high gloss black.
monthly is 370

Nice. Take a picture and post it ... Jeebus. Wow. I'm paying $315 buuuuuut I already have over $12k paid off so I'm refinancing the rest of the loan and then will be paying $180. Life is good

i put down the 500 bucks to get my name on list to reserve the rs for me.. plus another 3gs plus trade in of a crappy 99 civic thats worth 5 cents.... ( pennies not grand, POS that is )

Ewwwwww. F that. I put down literally the $500 to get the heck off the lot!

:O $370/mo? I'm only paying $271/mo and I just got mine in December =) What interest rate are you getting? I found 6%

how much did you put down? and your credit must be good/co-signer me my credit sucks and i put very little down plus got a few extras

Lol it was 19k for the car after everything (stupid extended warranty...) I put 5K down and financed 14k. No co-signer and not great credit (less then a year of having 1 credit card)

having little credit is a lot better than BAD credit... dude mines trashed lol im still working with finance peoples.. will no for sure what the rate will be in 2 days when i finish with the rest of paper work


i only put 3k down and financed amount will be around 17k-19 k depending

I feel lucky as crap. I put down that stupid $500 to get off the lot. For my first car payment, I gave them $12,000 that I had saved up. I've been making payments here and there but not I'm refinancing my car. It'll be a 36 month loan with a payment of $180. I have a credit score of 764 ... But yeah, I got my car in April of 08 with literally nothing extra.

kinda weird but after reading the forums I'm starting to second guess myself on this purchase of the rs 5.0 thinking maybe shoulda went stock and built up from there.. but I'm not backing out though. its nice knowing only 2000 was only made of this nice machine for the U.S.

I like the RS but I do wish they had better performance, not just a custom color. That's just me though. I don't care for their interior to be honest.

one more day and I get to talk ( negotiate more ) with finance peeps .. trying to get a crazy arse apr down. but all in all when i get it im doing pre/post pics of any and everything also some vids too! i'll keep people updated..... just sucks .... waiting game.... hate so much

LOL good luck. Pure pricing prevents negotiations =[
