Car is FINALLY lowered!!

After saving up for this since about april, i finally got the tein s-techs and tokico HP blue struts and went to work this past saturday on getting them installed. It took a little longer than expected, but the process went fairly smooth. I cut the bump stops slightly so that it rode a little smoother... the only problem that i had was with the front swaybar end links hitting the tie-rod ends...so if you have a 99-00 (only some 2000s) you may have to go out and buy longer endlinks to avoid this problem... i drove about 500 miles with the new setup (including some fun back-woods PA roads) and i love it...here are some pics and let me know what you think...

way too huge and dark to see anything. Try some daytime shots where you can get the whole car in one frame!

I bet it's nice though.

Damn, them are some big pics!
Looks good, tho'. I think the sedans have a really nice stance when lowered.
