If you really want to you're welcome to do so, we'll have cold brews to keep you happy but I remember it to the point where I think it will take 2 hours topps to swap the springs out so I don't want you driving down here for nothing. Definately come down whenever though, we have to hang out, haven't seen you in a while.

We got the rears done quickly after the fronts.

I got a ride in this yesterday and it was great... The car is much faster now.

I could even hear the exhaust over the loud club music too.

BTW here is the lip I'm looking at, don't know if I want to do the dampers or not.

NOTE: this car hit a racoon so don't mind how the bumper sits with the car, mainly concerned with the how the lip looks on the bumper itself

The dampers do help secure the lip but I don't know if I like the look. He hit a racoon going ~55mph, without the dampers there have been cases of the lip flying off at highway speeds because of poor mounting hardware.

motorvated · 06-01-2009, 02:00 AM

Ide get the dampers because they look cool, and thats the only reason you're getting the splitter.

Yea but the lip alone looks clean and almost factory, with the dampers it looks more racy, and if it doesn't flow with the car it looks ricy.

DPancoast · 06-01-2009, 02:07 AM

I'd get the dampers as well because a lip flying off on the highway could be major trouble lol

Vr-4-Life · 06-01-2009, 12:02 PM

Get them.... Hopefully they will make the car look more like a race car.
