me likey, but grab a front lip. it does soo much for the look of the car

[inwoo]

yep, i'm planning on it

[Wishno87]

and how do those sway bars feel? i might get some for christmas:grin:

[inwoo]

wish i could tell you what the difference was, i have done most of the suspension work at the same time.... however,

i was running zero front sway and OE stock rear sway, and the car drove like crap

after ST front / rear sways, the car handles like a dream.

lenses are cheap as hell from the stealer. i didn't even notice this the first time around, but i'd say removing kitchen storage supplies from the from of my car would be a pretty fucking big priority.
