    Took you 5 hours?

    Did you have the proper tools to load the springs?

    Yeah I had some of those spring conpressors that you rent from Autozone. They helped but it would have been nice to have some air tools, would have took off about 3 hours

    Well i'm using the OEM shocks now but plan to upgrade later, not anytime soon tho. And as far as I know using the OEM shocks are ok for just eveyday driving, now as for racing thats a whole diff story.

    Nice ride! I just have one question. What is the size on the tires you have in the pictures? I'm about to get 18'' wheels in my car and i want to lower it as well. I just wanna make sure the car wont damage the tires.

    Well I'm rolling on stock now but i'm sure you can put 18's on it but you will have to use low profile tires.
