Just threw the blackline tail lights on during my lunch break

I want the euro's, but I have xenon's, so it'll cost a grip...

As far as springs/shocks, the only advantage of coil overs is that they match up and they are adjustable. I'll prolly never adjust them (only use my car for street driving) and the eibach's/FSD's match up pretty well, so it's a sure bet.

Jlevi sells that spring/shock combo for around 830, so i'll most likely go with that...

Not a bad idea...i'll try that out

As far as options....leather, garage door mirror, xenons, bluetooth. I think that's all whatever is included in the premium package.

What up SOCAL!

Personally i'd go with coilovers. They tend to run smoother than a spring/shock combo. The Eibach FSD's are nice but they are a bit finicky as i have heard. Not only can you adjust the height on a CO setup, you can also adjust the dampening/rebounding which will make your ride alot smoother. I'm currently only on h&r sport springs with my zsp shocks, currently waiting to get a CO setup soon.

good luck!

Diamond black, I love the color. 17's wouldn't be too small would they?

Minipuck V 2.0 · 10-09-2007, 06:22 PM

i am willing to say that i don't think mclovin is bryan ...

i will give him the benefit of the doubt, but if it is ... that is really sad isn't it?
