#1757, "Finally lowered my car......"


          

And I must say that it looks AWESOME. My father and I did the install ourselves on Saturday. Took about 9 hours total, had no problems, except for the sunburn I received and the bruise my dad got when he was putting the jack away and he dropped it...LOL Anyway...it handles like a dream now, really tight steering. Believe it or not but the stock shocks in the rear were shot, not any good anyway. Now I know where the squeak in the rear was. I also install the rear strut bar and lower tie bar. So now my suspension is done until I get a better sway bar. Thanks guys for all the help and the great recommends on what to buy. And thanks to Shaun at New Edge Racing for the great prices and shipment of the parts. I am truly happy with the results and money well spent in my book. Have a nice night everyone.
Rob (GSsport)

There is nothing like the first time you see your ride after it gets lowered. The new handling capabilities great too

your a GS Sport right?? That means your a 99', and your stock shocks are shot??? Where did you drive to kill them like that??

Anyway, Congrats!! I can still remember the first time I lowered my GS Sport:-) It brought tears to my eyes...

Most of the roads in my area are awful. Yes it is hard to believe that the shocks were shot but they pushed in with only my thumb. And after fully compressed the wouldn't come out on their own at all. I thought the rear was kinda bouncy before too but never would have thought the shocks were bad. I live in Eastern Pennsylvania and the roads are just BAD. If you go any lower then the prokit I could see getting a new front bumper monthly. Now next I have to get my pulley installed and then I might buy a grill kit for it.

Hey, where in Eastern PA are you? I'm in Northeastern PA, Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Area. Ya don't have to tell me about the pot holes. I'm not 100% sure that I will go prokits just because of the potholes...

I live in the West Chester area. The roads are very bad here. When I go to Delaware to get my tax free shopping done you can easily tell the state line just from the roads alone. It's not just potholes either, a few intersections around here are in a dip. The four sections of road that make the intersection are all downhill, but the actual intersection is flat...have to go really slow through them. But, now that my car is lowered...I love the way it looks, and have had about 10 compliments since saturday.
See ya later,
Rob
