LOL my suspension sucks.

Ok, I should start by saying that I love my girlfreind.

For my birthday, she bought me a set of KYB shocks and some really cheap (ghetto coilovers.) I was planning on lowering springs but hey, thanks, whatever. I put the coilovers/ shocks in my car and low and behold, the front end, even while at the lowest setting sits about an inch and a half HIGHER than stock. Funny. The rear sits about an inch lower than stock at the lowest setting. Hilarious. My car is so well balanced. hehe.

Needless to say the springs (coilovers) will be coming out soon in favor of some lowering springs (as per my origional idea) but perhaps I will put it off until spring. I have to store my car soon.

I have seen others with similar problems.
At least I didn't have to pay for it this time. Sorry my girl had to.

I fooled my mom into believing that the high front end was in style. Thought some of you might get a kick out of this.

you sure you installed them correctly?

No kidding, I am pretty sure you have to saw off the front stock spring perches to install sleeve coilovers. Did you just put the coilovers on top or what? I hope you welded them to the struts like you're supposed to...

[christopher]

They provide a way to attatch the sleeve without welding, and yes I took care of the stock spring perch. I said they were cheap, you get what you pay for.

Honestly, I am about to store the car for the winter and by the end I will probably be buying something better so I am not too bothered. I am mainly just surprised that my girl would do that for me and I put the stuff on the car because it was easy and then she would know that I used her gift. As for explaining the replacement later, we'll see how that goes.
