Default hey tifo- lowered my car today.

i went over and helped some friends lower a nissan sentra se-r today, and it kinda put me in the mood, so i went ahead and put on my paragon lowered height kit coil overs. The result was having it adjusted all the way down and the tires are right at the edge of the wheel well. I also adjusted the rear down so it is low too, pics to come soon.

yeah, those two big bolts are tight as shi#!!! The kit went on pretty easily though, my car seems much stiffer with the 200lb springs and a lowered stance. I will take some pics tonite after work.

well, no, i didnt cut the old perches off cuz i have the 951 koni yellows and i just couldnt get myself to do it....

I DID cut little notches in the outside of the struts to allow room for my allen wrench to get in there to tighten/loosen the lock bolt for the collar though...i should have taken pics, it were pretty.

Great to hear all went well with your lowering xboost. I too should report that I got my lowering in the rear completed this weekend thanks to some help from Mr. Impact and a rubber mallet. Now it is on to the fronts for me and putting on the ride height kit. I have the old struts off, tonight I get to measure about 168 times.....

More IMPORTANT??? What can be more important than working on the car??? Anyways, its all out of our hands now, as our plans are set, it is now in the hands of the mothers to plan what they want in before the deadline....

WEEK AND A HALF????? Oh my, I thought it was like 12 days or something away.....but I'm not counting....
