I'm picking up a set of PIAA Superrozzas within the next week and I'd like to be able to throw my springs on within that time as well.

John - Got the headlights that were originally the other Johns (too many Johns) and they look great. I'll be throwing those on this weekend.

I look forward to meeting up with you guys sometime in the near future!

Sounds good! Look forward to meeting you guys.

John(s)- The lights look great. John(GotaG) seemed a little worried that they weren't in the greatest shape, but they look pretty damn good to me...

Spring install day sounds fantastic. I'll let you guys know when I get the wheels so you guys can check them out.

Beautiful pics pollock, you should go for the rear spring mount mod to set it down just a lil more and it would look golden.

Springmount is coming as soon as I get the rear camber kit. I'm out of adjustment on the left rear and I'm a little out of spec as is. So I don't want to take it any lower until I get the kit.

John- Just put your old headlights in while I get my quad projector project moving. They look great! Getting that damn bumper down and then back up when finishing the install was outright dirty.... I double blue taped the fenders and the damn bumper ripped straight through on both sides, scratching the corners of the fenders.... Very unhappy about that, but the lights look great with my black grill! Whenever I get around to buying a nismo bumper and having that painted I will have them touch up my (now) scratched fenders...

Anyway, thought I would like you guys know that the headlights look good. Thanks John (and John).

Well depending on how the first project goes I may do it to John's old headlights as well (the ones that are now on my car). Either way there will be a set of modded headlights for sale sometime down the road. My first order of business is getting the new wheels picked up and on and getting the springs installed.

I hear ya, I have everything I need to change out springs. Except for spring compressor, not sure if I have all the right socket sizes, an air compressor, and the "time". Well I at least have the springs n the rear isolators. Really hate to have to pay someone near $400 to put them on, ugghhh.

Hey Brian, did you use hand tools to change out your springs? I know you said it took about 4 hours.

We did it all with hand tools except for the spring compressor. You can do that by hand but it's a pain. I think I could do the job in about 3 hours now that I know what I'm doing.

Wills, Parr, I'm definitely up for helping out with the springs when you guys are ready, it's just about finding a good place to do the work. I can't really volunteer my friends, because honestly, they'd probably want you to pay them something small. And I don't want to get in all that.

But I'm up for any time really, we just need to work out a time and a place. As far as tools, all you'll need is possibly a breaker bar, and a good ratchet and metric socket set. I have all that except the breaker bar. Jack and jack stands, and a torque wrench to put the wheels back on if you're **** about hand tightening.

The rears are cake, fronts are a bit of a pain, but I have them about figured out. Just hit me up and let me know when. The more hands we get involved, the better it'll be. Give us a chance to BS and hang a little more, and get dirty working on our cars. It's definitely not worth paying the money for the install, we just need to find a place to work, and preferebly an air compressor.

Brian - You're a good man. I'm going to recruit your newly acquired expertise sometime over the next couple of weeks if your available...

wills06G - If Brian is up for it we should all get together and get dirty working on our cars. I'll bring the beers. Now we just need to find the place. I'd say come to my place, but being that I'm stuck renting until I purchase my place at the beginning of next year I don't exactly have a suitable area to do the work. The complex managers tend to get upset with me when I use the covered car wash area as my garage...
