^do you do the install yourself? Might be worth waiting a little if not. Unless the $160-$200 for springs + $300 install is a drop in the bucket for you, in which case I'm always looking for a sponsor!

I will be completing all the installs myself most likely. I am just unsure if I want to do just springs or a coil over setup. I have the money for springs right now and could probably swing a tein basic set in the near future, but the idea of the higher end sets also kind of influence me. I am gonna have to look into a little more I suppose.

An LED third brake light and two weeks off thanks to the worst winter storm in 40 years. I keep making excuses to go hang out in the garage... "I know I checked the oil two days ago and haven't driven it... but I better go check it again" LOL
