Talking The suspension is in!!!!
Well after aboiut 4.5 hours my friend and I got it done...

It looks sooooooooo good!!!! No gap at all in the front, and you can't even really fit one finger in the back...

The ride is amazing, right now it's set at 2 in the front and 3 in the back. Tomorrow I'll play around with the settings.

It took so long because I have never done a drop before, and we had all hand tools. Everything worked out great though.

I'll take pics tonight and post them in a little bit, but I don't know how they will turn out. I'll def take more tomorrow

BTW...I got H&R sports and KYB/AGX struts.

sweetness! Can't wait to see the pics! One thing you should know....with the KYB's...they will take a week or so to settle in, and you should notice a lower ride than what it is at now. At least, that's how it was with my KYB's and sportlines. Glad you're happy with the setup!

Thanks...Yeah I love it, it looks great!!! I hope it doesn't get too much lower, cause it's pretty low.

One other thing...When we first put it in the rear creaked a little bit, but after I drove it for a while it stopped...Is that normal?

I think its pretty normal. I just put my koni's and GC's inthis weekend and she made some noises for a while but they stopped after a couple of minutes of drving. Sounds like sweetness man. You said you dropped her 2 in the front and 3 in the back???

I have the AGX's set at 2 in the front, and 4 in the back.

The drop is 1.75 in the front, and 1.5 in the back...Looks lower than that though.

I'll have pics tomorrow

That should look pretty sweet man!!! What I'm gonna do one day when i'm real bored sometime is drop it all the way and see what it looks like. Just to see....personally I think it would look like crap with the wheels that far up in the wheel wells like that but what the hell huh!!

Heck yeah man, post of pics. I probably go your route when the cash flow starts flown again. It will all depends on the job. Anyway, I am looking forward to see the before and after pics. I just might have to start saving up and get mine done.

The ride is almost like stock, but stiffer. I was hitting bumps on purpose just to see how it felt. It rides excellent. I would highly recommend this set up to all Si owners.

As soon as I get the dig. camera back I will post the pics...

It looks soooooooo good!!!
