How'd the install go? I have a complete suspension kit (tokico illuminas) sitting in my garage waiting to go on, just waiting until i can afford the alignment afterwards. I'll post up pics after mine is done, mines red too

well, the ride feels better than it did with my stock ones on. However, i also had a few other bad suspension parts there were replaced at the same time. Also, i drove it home with it not being aligned/adjusted... im driving it to work tommorow like that too because i didnt have enough time to take it to be adjusted. The tires that are on there i dont care abot though, they're already ruined due to not being balanced or aligned from the person that had them before me that i got them from. So i will purchase tires and an alignment/camber kit and have it done saturday.
dropped 1.5inches
its low. i like it... not a single problem going over curbs or anything for me.

Just do the 15 dollar camber mod ASAP. I think your tires will survive much more driving if you do, unless you feel like buying new ones in a few weeks.
edit: maybe its just shadows or the angle, but it looks like you really need the camber mod on the back, cuz i think i can visibly see the tire angling out.

You will have more problems from the front then the rear. I have no camber kit on back, and it wears even. I have a camber kit on front, it still wears uneven. I am getting new tires / an alignment next week though so I will see if that helps. One of the work tires is brand new, less then a few hundred miles. Jeez.

yeah, the rear's pretty bad. front looks fine believe it or not. Im going tommorow to see if i can get the camber kit done and buy some new rubber as the stuff on there sucks...
and i hate myself, i scratched the hell out of my driverside side skirt... i couldnt see and i was doing 50mph before u know it boom, curb... ill get a pic when its light outside, maybe i can have maco do the skirt up for me, ill take it off and have it sprayed.

Yea, it's safe.
I drove on mine about 100-200 miles before I got it aligned. Ten times better now.

I got mine aligned about 2 weeks afterwards of doing the install because I just had brand new tires put on and I was going to be doing a 1000+ mile trip to move. I didn't want to chance my tires being bald on the inside by the time I got to Texas (From Minnesota).
It's not all that expensive to get an alignment done. You can definitely feel a difference after it's done and you have peace of mind knowing that your tires are wearing evenly.
