some more good stuff...
fronts!
finished product... test up driveway...
slammed nicely. car is not really this low, its just the angle of my drive way... more weight on one side
finished it off with some corona's... success
will update with some photo shoots that were taken after the install (parking garage stuff...) late.

thanks homies... ya, havent done this in awhile since my friends moved and graduated from college, they were in town so we decided to have a car day.
yeah but the kit was simple to install... little griding here and there, but over all, it was cake, way more easier than my friend's integra.

Looks good man! Got any side profile before & after pics?
Hah! You ain't kidding. I had to do this twice in the last couple weeks. Removing the trim carefully to be able to access the strut tops is a pain enough already. Its alot more of a bitch to do when you have a roll bar welded in with cross bracing and horizontal bracing and a top locked in place with no power and seats that don't lean forward as far as the stock seats!

thanks for the comments homies..
yeah i decided to go the GC route because i bought the car with KYB's already installed, they worked great for me so i didnt want to ditch them. I ordered straight from the company and it cost about 430 with shipping (no beer included haha). I forgot the specs of the springs rates but i know its near stock, have adjustable struts anyway.
specs on the SP1's are 18x10 +24 rear and 17x8.5 +35 front, had to have a small stretch for the tires in the rear to fit the stock fenders, front came to close to my suspension.
as for the top mounts... they were a bitch... broke off a couple clips but i had extra to replace, i wouldn't even try to install a rear strut bar. that took me way to long.
as for the pics, i used my sister's Cannon XTi with a wide angled lens, really gets the best of my car.
thanks for the compliments again guys. will update with more pics soon.
