I free this Sunday and sounds good to me. You guys can decide when and i'll just go with the flow.

I also have redouts that need's to be done. Calvin, I might want hid fog's to depending what your's look like and how difficult the install is.

It's not difficult at all, according to the DIY threads on CL. To do it properly, you take the front bumper off (just held by screws and clips), then ziptie/tape the ballast to the back of the bumper support, and plug it into the stock HID clip. That's it.

I think we should meet this Sunday at the DIY Mechanics place in Sterling, VA and do the sway bars, then we can meet up another weekend and do some other stuff. I won't even have the HID kit for another 2 weeks or so, so maybe we can meet up after that.

Yeah, Add me to that list. What time are we thinking about?

Bigrah, I'll definately bring the roller with me, however when my brother and his friends used it last they broke one of the clips that goes on the back. I should be able to find something at a hardware store tho. If your cars lowered by this weekend, you should let me ride in it to see what it feels like. I also have coilover's on the way.

Yeah without that clip it can't function. I'm almost certain i can find something for it. I'm looking online right now, but i cant seem to find replacement parts. I wish i would of known sooner about the clip, i'll figure out something tho.

im good for pretty much any sunday. this sunday (4/3) is my birthday so i might do something later on, but i figure i can leave at anytime because i dont need to much work done. I installed my hks hi power exhaust yesterday so now all i need done are:
led fogs
rear reflector vinyl tints
tail light vinyl tints
led parking light replacement
and depending on the situation, headlight housing painted black. ive wanted this for a very long time now.

jlee - I'm doing the red-outs, so hopefully you can help me out since you're doing vinyl tints as well.

As far as time for this Sunday, I plan on being at the DIY place at 9 AM when it opens, because that's when they said is the best time to go. I don't really have anywhere I need to be Sunday so I plan on getting there early, getting the sway bar done in the garage bay then just hanging out/getting the other smaller stuff done (LED parking lights, red-outs).
