You have a good list planned out here!

I would recommend saving up for coilovers, I personally still can't believe I was not patient enough to save up for them haha. I do however have the Sportlines and I love the drop it gave me! It has been recommended that if you go lower than a pro kit to upgrade your shocks and struts though. Koni Yellows are a popular choice and are great.

I agreed with Matt. Save for coils you may think right now you only want a slight drop from springs but you will eventually want the extra adjustment that the coils will give you. I myself was like matt and wasn't patient and now I wish I had coils. Hopefully I can get my springs off my car soon though.

Other then that nice build so far, really nice job on the rear bumper came out clean.

 

haha thanks man....im pretty patient but I don't think I can wait to drop it...I want it done now lol
but that's probably the next thing I wanna do after plasti dipping the rear bumper...and thanks a lot for the advice man I wasn't aware of that...btw my name is matt too

 

 

Yes sir mista president....as soon as I get the money lol

Yeah, super nice job on that lower valance.

 

thanks man...it was a huge pain in the ass lol

 

Mine came free

 

Looks good on the red especially. I don't like it on some colors. But yours is looking mighty nice. :thumbup:

 

thanks a lot man...both of your cars are looking nice as hell dude

 

thanks man!

 

I just got done vinyl wrapping my roof gloss black...harder than it looks lol

 

looks good!! and yes it is very hard than it looks... xD

 

Haha thanks man...first thing I did after I put it on was rub too hard with the squeegee and I tore a hole in the side so I had to take the whole thing off and move it to the side so I didn't have a patch of red showing lol

 

so I know I said I was gonna save up for coils but that's just gonna take wayyyyyy to long for me...so I just ordered a pair of RM 1.25 springs, I also ordered a front lip and some wheel spacers...cant wait!!! plus I don't think I really wanna go that low anyways, I don't wanna have to worry about scraping everywhere I go

 

got my new lip on!!!!! now just waitng to get my springs and spacers on

 

got my new lip on!!!!! now just waitng to get my springs and spacers on

I like your lip...seems to fit better (more flush and tight, especially right under the fogs) than many I've seen.

 

Looks nice I'm starting to really like velocity red

Be careful when you lower it! I'll be ordering my 4th lip soon. lucky it didn't completely break in half this time haha.

Plasti-dip the fog light bezel

 

not to thread jack but i just threw away whats left of my 1st one....

 

thanks! @razerer

@MattGentle I think that's the next thing im gonna do since im gonna wait for my friend to get back from vacation to put the springs and spacers on

 

Would I be able to plastidip my rear bumper even though I have the skyactiv?

yeah man you can plasi dip pretty much anything lol...just gotta tape it off first

 

so I completely failed at installing my springs today and ended up putting the stock ones back on until I can get help lol...after I put them back on im hearing like a scraping or a clunking noise, does anyone know what that could be? my guess would be that the spring just hasn't set back in place yet after compressing it...any advice?

 

Try compressing the springs more then screw it in more

 

if I just wait to put the new springs on do you think it will damage the car in any way?

 

Yes and no. Yes it depends how long it will take you to drive it before getting the new ones out and if how you would be driving basically avoid pot holes bumps and driveways. I drove mine about 10-15 miles, and 5 miles of those probably I drove my car like a maniac cause I didnt knew it until a hit a light bump and the clunking sound was way too much for a small light bump

 

damn I got about a 10 mile trip to and from school tomorrow...20 miles might be pushing it...I think ill be staying home tomorrow lol...thanks for all the advice man!

 

No worries just tag me when you have any questions

 

Hahahaha. Since you focused on the springs lol sometimes stuff like that can mess alot in your head and makes you more confused.

 

haha yeah man im just glad its fixed...oh and the shop quoted me like $600 to put the springs on lol...definitely getting it done by a friend...no way im paying that much lol

 

when putting on wheel spacers, is there anything that you have to hold in the back in order for the screws that hold on the spacer to tighten? because when I was putting mine on today it didn't seem like they were tightening all the way and seemed to just kinda spin at a certain point like you have to hold the screw from the back or something...any help is much appreciated

 

ended up taking them off...they were rubbing on something but not sure what...shits just not working out lately
