Hey...
I did this myself and it actually worked. I used some DIY I found and a Proffessional Snap On electric air tool (if that makes sense), and I had to go to work at 7am the next day and didnt go to sleep till 2AM.
The drop is perfect for me because it lowered the car, but didnt SLAM it. Im not a big fan of slammed cars. I scrape every once in a while but not often. It took about 8 hours for the springs to settle after I installed them.

The springs are Progress teal springs but I have no idea on the rates. If anyone knows about these, please tell me!


Next to my brothers EF.


OEM Steelies.


I hate how even with the lip and drop, the rear is still so damn high.


Rear end.


2 EK's and an EF.

Yeah I want to but the tires are dry and my a*****e little brother wont lend them to me.
Rotas are next. Trying to make up my mind on which set to get.

The reason I said Professional Snap On tool is because the tool is NOT available for retail sale.

grille on front lower? where that go?
Previous owner cut it out for some odd reason.

Reminds me of the Buddy Club body kit.. Or whatever brand it is.



Here are some pictures of the car before the springs, so you can see it was lowered some.
