Here are some before and after pics from my suspension component installs I did yesterday. Sorry for the picture quality I really need to get something better to use than my cell phone.

You can't do something like this and leave us all hanging on what you used.

Same thing when "I did such mods" and you don't have any pictures.

Sorry posted the other day what I was installing didn't think to report the list. Parts installed were

Eibach Sportlines
J&M caster/camber plates
J&M AdJ UCA
J&M LCA's
J&M Adj Panhard Bar
BMR LCA Relocation Brackets

Sorry no pics during the install I did all the work on base at the hobby shop and was pressed for time. Still lack a front end alignment and the panhard bar is still about 1/4 inch off. But overall was very happy with the results for my first time doing my own work.

looks alot better....now get some new wheels. Does your apt complex have speed bumps? If so good luck!

My father told me I should have left mine higher. I say no way but he tells me atleast you would be able to drive it over bumps....lol

Wow.. looks great! Kinda makes me wish I had gone with the Sportlines rather than the Eibach Pro kit.

I agree they look great but they are progressive rate springs which in my experience don't work as well as linear rate springs do on the S197 chassis. As ass backwards as it sounds the progressive rate springs feel harder and bottom out more frequently than linear rate ones do.
