I'm already saving up for a down payment on a new car so I will no longer be driving my Lex. I'm either going to garage my car and slowly put it back to stock or give it to my little brother as his first car since he'll be getting his license next year. I'll let you guys know what I'm going to part out from my car when the time comes.

Intrax is about the same or maybe even more.

Sorry it has taken me so long to reply...no camber issues that I know of...I did have to replace the shocks (which is expected, they were old)...i did however have to change the lower control arms....the new heavy wheels and springs accentuated traditionally ****ty stock control arms.

Thanks for all the compliments fellas...greatly appreciated. Still love the tanabe springs...they keep getting lower too as they settle

Hopupracing.com gave me a great deal on Tanabe DF210 springs...200 for all four with free shipping

I like pickproparts.com for my KYB shocks...the cheapest i could find.

Car looks good with the new wheels and spring. BTW how much did you pay for the springs and wheels if you don't mind me asking?

Wheels and tire package (about 75% tread) from a guy on Ebay for $1000 even...I think that is a pretty good deal considering the wheels alone are about 1500 new and the tires new are about $1000...no scracthes on the rims either...they looked pretty good. I'm happy.
