#17054, "I got my rear prokit springs on!!!! out with the sportlines!!!"
Just like the subject says....I got my rear prokit springs on today! Kind of a big accomplishment for me cause I've just recently started doing my own installs. Anywho, I still have the sportlines up front and they're gonna stay there until Sunday(which is when I'll have time to change them). I'm gonna take the car out in a couple minutes to see what the ride is like with this setup. I took some pictures right after I finished but they didn't come out well. I'll post some good pics before I leave for class tonight(4:30ish eastern time). Thanks to everybody that left info for me the other day when I asked about the difficulty of changing springs.

Thanks bro, I like the way they look compared to the sportlines....well, at least in the back. I'm thinking about leaving it like that, prokit in the rear and sportlines up front. As for the ride, I haven't really gotten to try it out yet...but I'm gonna put it to the test on the way to class tonight. I'll let ya know how it is when I get back.

First, fauchpj...I'm running on 215/40 zr17 83w with 17inchers inside of them. Second, ride quality was pretty good....but I'm def. gonna put the prokit up front too. The rear seemed to take the bumps better than the front...which pretty much made up my mind. It seemed like a more comfortable ride...so hopefully it'll be that much better when I put the other two on. Could've been my imagination....but I don't think so. On another note, I got through the rear install without having to use a spring compressor or a breaker bar. The only things I used were socket wrench, torque wrench, plyers, and liquid wrench.
