Hey guys, well i ended up trading my carbon fiber hood for s0me adjustable c0il0vers, a turbo timer/ alarm, and a brand new 80 GB iPod... After paying so much money to get the car back, i have no money to install the coilovers.. so i was wondering, 8) Who would like to help me install some coilovers 8) ??? If anybody is interested i would be extremely happy lol! Well let me know... I know nothing about suspension... :cry:

It's actually fairly easy, the hardest part being breaking the bolts loose :)

I'd be more than willing to help, but this weekend is M-day, so that's out :( Does during the week work for you?

Keep in mind that you will need to get the car realigned afterward, which could run anywhere from $60-$160. While you're in there, I'd suggest putting camber bolts in the rear too, esp. if the coilovers are going to drop the car.

Not from hotsam @ turbometrics. Sorry, but when you say you have it in stock in woodbridge, and three weeks later, I get a shippment from another company of the wrong manufacturer, I cannot recommend.

I would recommend looking for the Whiteline concentric camber bolts.

I've been pretty tied up with work and other issues around the house. I might have some free time at the end of the month.
