I was thinking more centrally located kearney mesa seems the default so that the people who live north of that aren't doubling back we could meet at somewhere like auto fashion or just some default parking lot we just need to get a list of who will be caravanning

So finally look at what came in at the shop!



Now I need to install them, Ive heard alot of people cutting them ONE coil off the front and TWO off the back to lower it more. I obviouxly want it as low as possible but dont want too rough of a ride and later ill be adding 19's with Megans. What do you guys think?? AND ALSO, to install my boy owns Car Tune up in Clairemont Mesa and they usually does installs of $200 but he said he'll do $150... so I dont know about paying that much to cut and install... how hard are they to install because Im thinking about doing them myself...

I would just leave the springs as is IMHO I'm not a fan of cutting springs especially with this type of car just get the coilovers and be done with it. Can't wait to see what it's going to look like for the cruise

well the main other thing you'll need is a spring compressor, the rest of the tools are standard bit parts. lmk when you might need the help. i'm typically free after 5pm.
