Just dropped the car off to get aligned. I drove it over the weekend after getting the FTBR kit installed. Then i threw in the KW coil over kit. Brought the car down far enough to make me happy but not so it cant be driven i.e. scrapping everything.
got the 5001 kit from FTBR and the upgraded toe links and adjustable sway bar. Get the removal tool, it really wasnt bad but i drilled the crap out of the bushings. took about 5 days to get the bushings done working 4-6 hours a day, its an easy job but takes a lot of time. i did it on jack stands and hand tools, a lift and air would have cut the time in half!
the rear feels planted! i havent beat on it yet but it feels great. i never had hop on the street before so i cant compare that but it feels a lot different. i dont have any extra noise as others said they had:shrug:.
the KW got me the look i wanted and the ride is smooth. they are fully adjustable ( ride height, bump and compression). the car is dropped about an inch all around. the front could come down more for a better look but the clearance would be an issue for me. with the setting half way on compression and bump the ride is just a little softer than stock. it feel so different over bumps and driving, its like a whole new car. i dont get the trucker bounce after hitting a bump now, its smooth going over and settles fast. Planted to the ground is the best way to describe it.
ill get better pics when i get it back later :beer:
and i cleaned up the exhaust while i was under there...
