tint, painted stuff, spacers, H&R, E-race. props to Sam at Sleek Motoring who did the exhaust earlier and slapped on springs in 2 hours today.

Drop and spacers look great with stock 20s. 12/10 spacers?

Any negative driving impressions with the changes?

h4nh · 06-21-2013, 11:37 PM

wow 2hrs for spring install is pro. lol. I think dealership charges 6hrs for install. That's about how long it took my friend and I to install the springs ourselves.

Looking very sharp! Glad the E-Race is working well for you!

thanks. no scraping yet. ride comfort feels same except when going over obstacles quickly like speed bumps and metal plates.

Boots,

What are they charging you for parts and labor on the H&R install?

The quotes I'm getting here are four figures!

Bob, finally......
Looks great!

boots · 06-24-2013, 11:20 AM

Man they are ripping you off bigtime. They are charging me 650 for labor which I think is way overboard. But they have always been a great place to have someone wk on your car. They had 2x Ferraris there as well as an assortment of Porsche there when I dropped it off on sat. Two other members here had their install there already.
