I know, i know, i need to wash the car...

I finally got my Teins Coilovers installed... and what a difference. I took it up to the shop that i bought them from... and they installed them in little over 2 hours... probably could of been a lot faster if i didn't ask so many questions lol....

Leading up to the shop, there are a couple of 90 degree turns, and on the stock suspension, i just couldn't take them that fast as the car would really take a dive and roll... with the new suspension, i took those same turns with no problem... the true test will come on wed, after CSC hooters meet there is a on ramp onto the highway.. and its tested my suspension in the past.. now i'll get to see how it feels this time!... can't wait.

Difference between stock and teins

so far the ride is great.. not bouncy at all.. and honestly... they don't feel any stiffer then stock really... and the cornering is great.. i'll be able to get on it a little more later on

I might sell the stock ones... If i do, it will probably go to a local person... i don't believe they are like the R/T ones.... u'll have to look into that

I have seen new "Teins Coilovers" for sale for about $1000 shipped... and as low as $920... now, did i really want to work on my car in this weather? (been cold here in chicago), do i want to stuggle when i might not have all the right tools? (odds are i wouldn't of had all the tools), do i want to take the risk of messing something up? OR would i rather pay a total (coilovers, taxes, install) of $1100-$1200 (can't remember exactly what i paid) and have a certified mechanic install them. for the piece of mind and the easy of it... i went with the "pay the shop" route

The total was some where around the $1130 now that i've thought about it some.

I'm not 100% sure yet.. i haven't even looked into it... the shop was suppost to buy them and then bill me... but because of circumstances i haven't heard from them... i'll probably go thru Mopar Super Center... besides the fact that they might be one of my sponsers soon

I'm pretty sure Deyeme Racing sell the shorter endlinks.
