    Lowered my car (56k = lol)

    Saturday I drove over to Alex Shchipkov's place in Cbus, OH and he helped me replace the stock springs/shocks with H&R Sports and Bilstein Sports. I left home around 8:30-9am and got over there around 12am. We took our time working on it, and Alex and his friend were doing other things as well. He was just there to coach me on what to do so I didnt totally fuck up my car. We had lunch and supper, and by the time we got totally finished I was getting on the interstate at 1:35am Sunday morning to head home. I was way tired so I stopped at a gas station a couple times and got Pepsi and Doritos to keep my awake and I had to take a detour on the way home cus they closed some road. I got home around 4:45am and went to sleep at 5. Got up at 9 to go to church, then to work afterwords till 2:30pm. Today I did a quick wash on the car to get the crap off of it and took some pics. Let me know what ya think.

        Yep! Your old springs. Alex has a cool shop. He has a shell leaning against the wall. Race car in the corner, his friend's iX up on jackstands, and a whole bunch of misc. crap. So if you need any little parts, he usually has one for ya. Its pretty cool. :)

            Yep, looks like I'm keeping my 10mm rear pads in when I install the H&Rs.

            Thanks for the pics.

                  1. Lighting isnt the best.
                  2. On the 2nd pic, the road is angled there so it makes a trough. The right side of the car is in the trough, and the other side isnt. So it looks a little goofy.

                    You have so many cool buildings in Columbus IN to use as backdrops.
