Thanks, I detailed the car and waxed it with Meguiars. I bought a 30 dollar buffer/polisher from walmart and it makes waxing the car alot easier.

Thanks for the compliments on the car. The ride in my opinion has improved dramtically. The stock suspension was very rigid and uncomfortable when driving. These new Tanabe springs are a little softer than stock so ride is alot more comfortable.

I know it is recommended but I won't know for sure how bad the car is out of spec until i get a wheel alignment which I will do next week.

let me know how your alignment goes, i would think it'd be fine with no kits since the drop isn't that low.
