well it's been a while but my suspension finally left milton Ont. today... after waiting so long, and them charging me an extra $80 due to economy
i managed to get a free white Steeda windshield decal
lol i'm just stoked to get the sucker in there and do some pass creek runs.
I did manage to get my wash and wax kit in yesterday tho:biggrin: time to get rid of all that crap of my car and bring it back to it's shiny state. rims dont go on till the suspension tho..

I swapped the springs, shocks/struts and also did a brake rotor/pad upgrade all in one weekend in my garage by myself.
I took it to the shop for an alignment though after it was all done.
If you are mechanically inclined, patient and really like doing this kind of thing yourself then make sure you have all the tools you need at hand and have at it.
All I needed was Jack, 2 stands, sockets, combination wrenches, johnson bar, pry bar, and torque wrench, and a few bottles of beer.
Good Luck!

well a friend of mine works at a local shop with a lift so i might end up getting the sway bars done there free after hours to kinda save some PITA but the rest of it i'm just doing at the shop at the fire hall.
and yes i'll be taking pics.
i also have some strobes/LED's to put on the car when they come in as well as a Federal Siren
