Haha s'all good man. I'll be doing more to her over time!

Thanks for the compliments all! I agree that lower is better. With my high miles.. we'll see how long the struts hold up. If they ever go out I'll swap 'em with d specs and maybe throw some lower springs on it since I'll have to take the suspension apart anyways

This is making me want to drop my ride now....Was looking for the M35 sports but got Coupe Rays 19" instead. Now I am thinking of going with Tein H Techs. Good tip on taking the front to a shop for $40 and have them install the springs. Gonna keep that in mind.

I knew you would eventually come to the dark side. H Techs would be a good drop for you. I don't think I'll be going lower anytime soon.

I really wanted the Rays, and settled for the M45 wheels because I've always loved the look of them! and the fact that not everyone and their mother has them. I'm much happier with the M45 wheels Yes, I thought it was genius just to have someone put them on the strut for me... seeing as how this part is a PITA

Is that what you're dropped on?

Yea Blue Dream is on the Sedan H Techs and it looks siiiick on his ride. I am next but glad to know the tip of saving sometime and taking it to get the springs installed on the front. I heard it took Blue Dream all day for the fronts and 10min a side for the rears...

Pretty much the same situation I was in. The passenger side strut had a stripped (ROUND AS FAWK) nut on the upper mount, so I got an entirely new assembly for it, and just dremel'd the old one off. When the car's got some miles on it, rotating the strut around the upper mount becomes REAL hard because they want to seize up. With the help of paying someone... It took me about 15-20 minutes to get the car on jacks in the front, 20 minutes to go down the road and get the new springs on, 20 minutes to put them on the front, and 10 minutes per side in the rear. Unfortunately for me, my car's old age made it give me HELL with the seized struts, stripped bolt, and the rear lower control arm (Driver's) was bent just a RCH (red cvnt hair) and didn't wanna go up where it's supposed to... so all in all it took me about 5 hours. -__- worth it though!

Yep, H Techs, coupe 19's, and 245/40/19 all around. I really like the look and stance.

Blue Dream is getting all the props! And you were right, after the Rays it will be a couple weeks before i want the drop. Your ride deserves it, very sick. TehG35, how many miles is on your G?
