Then we can treat I-495 like the Wangan in Tokyo. Just gotta watch out for those pesky black turbo Porsche 911's. :rofl2::rofl2::rofl2:

:icon18: trailblazing trailblazer yo!!! Signs FTW.

And that white Porsche GT3.

Your right its better to go through salt and snow fast!!!! :ugh2:

While lowered too. :p

Swifts have arrived at Kirk's Garage! Going to be installed tomorrow evening :woot:

Spring install has been delayed till Saturday. :(

It was taking us too much time to do it tonight. Got one spring on one of the struts and then realized it wasn't aligned properly so it wouldn't go in right. We decided to put one of Kirk's old stock strut/spring in its place and just work on the rest this Saturday.

Damn that sucks. The fronts were a pain for me to do as well and that was with a hydraulic compressor. Must be a PITA if you and Kirk are using manual spring compressors. I can stop by Sat and help out too if you want. All I have planned is an oil change in the morning. :tup:

Sure why not. I'll let you know what time we're doing it. Will probably be around 11am to noon.

Update: Sent payment for a different set of intakes, which will hopefully be shipped later this evening. Also bought this heat wrap for the intakes:

Amazon.com: Thermo-Tec 13995 2" X 50' Roll Thermo-Shield: Automotive

Intakes have shipped :tup:

:bowrofl:
Those are some sexxxy Z taillights.

Glad you got the springs safely man, make sure you use the rubber spring condom that is on your oem springs. Swifts require you to remove the oem ones and install them on the swifts.

Thanks man :tup:

Wish I had color matched Sport brakes though :icon17:

Thanks man, I'm glad I was able to get them from you! :tup:

Yeah we did remember to take that rubber off the oem spring and put it on the swift, but thanks for the reminder. :)

That's f****** awesome man, that's going to be sweet!

Can't wait to have them finally installed! Should be on before my day at the drag strip on the 30th.:D

Cool beans. You're gonna smoke them in your 3.7 ;)

Intakes shouldn't take more than 45 mins to do. The time consuming part will be cutting the holes.

Sub'd =)

:tup:

Should be installing the Swift Springs this afternoon, will update once I have them on :tup:

:tup: for swifts

Oh yea go for the springs and spacers first.

No spacers, just springs for now.

Christian likes this. Just wait till you drive them and feel the difference. :tup:

Sorry about the crappy pics, I'll take better ones later.

Congrats Shahid! They'll settle even more over the next couple of weeks.

looks good. did you use anything with that jack to protect the pinch welds?

Thanks Jon!

No :ugh2:

you don't see it anyways...

looks good bro

Looks good man. Mine didn't fully settle until about a week and a half after install. Hold off on alignment till then. :tup:

Glad you got them installed man. Car looks great.

Drop looks great you should take that hammer off the floor and fix that bumper! :icon17:

Thanks guys! :tup:

Thanks for giving me such a great deal on them!

You can't really see the drop much in those photos, but in person you definitely notice it. I'll get some updated pics once it settles and I get the alignment done.

If it was that easy I would have done it already :icon17:

no sense fixing the bumper after lowering the car

Oh yeah I need to get used to driving a lowered car now. I foresee some more bumper incidents :icon17:

you will get plenty of these-- rash on left side, missing air dams, etc...unless you learn to angle.

And then you'll do what I did and lower the car even more, and even angling won't save you

I already have rushes on both sides of the bumper and my air dams are sitting in my room. They were never installed and no point in doing it now. Luckily I don't really have any uphill driveway or speed bumps I deal with regularly so I should be ok most of the time.

Congrats on the drop
