Looking good, alot better than when you first showed up, cant wait to see pics with the spoiler. I'm going to look up how to replace that tie rod boot, and see how difficult it is. I think it's held in place by a couple snap rings. Hopefully next ep meeting we can all get good pics. I'm starting to think about getting those wheels I wanted to begin with, but more power and better handling comes first. Enjoy the ride man.

Just get the tie rod boots from the dealer and get some grease. Pry out the old boot and slide the new one on with some grease inside.
It was like $2.50 total for two boots for me.

From what I've seen/heard, the springrates on these springs are less than what the oem springs are. That's why you have a nice comfy ride now.
These springs are made for the coupe. Just keep that in mind before you buy them. The drop does look nice though, but I can't help to think that if you push the car you'll get bottoming out due to the softer rates.

yup you are absolutely right about springs rates. just needed nice decent drop, so i chose s tech spring over other springs that are made for ep3. wanted to have nice soft ride until i need to get new shocks later. had tein ss. too stiff for me. tein s tech springs are very nice for dailiy drive. cant go wrong
