Pics of Suspension Install...Thanks HAN!
I can't thank everyone enough for helping me every step of the way through my decision making>purchase>and install of my suspension.
here is my purchase:
H&R non-adjustable Coil overs 29928-2
OmniPower Front Camber Kit
SPC Motorsports Rear Camber Kit from Comptech
I was planning on getting Tein Basics but as you see in the pic below went with H&R C/O's instead. I was pretty apprehensive at first (to install myself), but after asking HAN questions and reading many previous posts, I had the balls to give it a go! The only roadblock I encountered was how to get the ball joint off the fronts to install the omni kit. Extremely easy once you have the right tools! (What a CONCEPT!) And for those of you who don't know, Autozone lends out specialty tools ( like the ball joint remover and spring compressors) for free. All you have to do is pay a temporary deposit, which in this case was about 60 bucks, then when you return the items, the money is sent back to whatever account you paid with. Pretty sweet Setup IMO.
I want to give a personal Thanks to Däs Schmoo, tegbooster, and GSSR. Your input greatly impacted my final decisions even though I went with H&R instead. But I'll tell you, the ride exact ally like stock, but handles about 400% better. I can't believe the difference, I love the setup! THANK YOU!
Well here are the pics, Hope you like them as much as I do. I like the height, had it lower, but ride is really rough. I hit an uneven part of the cement on the freeway and felt like my car hit a wall, so I raised it to its current height. Enjoy and also let me know what you think. Late.

Looks great man. I am thinking about ditching my spring/strut combination to get a setup of coilovers; I'll have to look into something like yours. It will be my third suspension change. Do you know what height that is exactly?
