New Suspension Mods finally on

Well I finally got around to putting this stuff on, I did Tokico D-Spec's w/Springs, Kinetix A-arms, Kinetix Camber & Traction bars. It wasn't too diff to do, now I just need to get an alignment. Can def feel the diff in the Tokico's compared to stock ones

slvr what did you use to install the springs and shocks? Some have told me that you just need your basic tools. Others have told me you need to use a spring compressor. As of this point i am lost. You said it was too difficult to do.

basic tools and a spring comp. most of the nuts/bolts are 17mm I think. You'll need the comp for the front only. make sure you have some kind of breaker bar, some of the bolts are pretty tight. I wasn't using one and cut the s**t out of my hand, but using one made it alot easier. But I said it wasn't too difficult

Do those Tokico springs actually drop the car? Or is it stock height?

They are supposed to do 1.25in drop, the front was around that, but the rear didnt do but about 1/2-3/4. I called Tokico and they dont know what it is, but I think they're gonna send me 2 more rear springs.
