Default Finally...L-tuned Suspension Intalled PICS 56k maybe...

Okay, my L-Tuned Shocks and Springs have been sitting in my garage for almost a year. I have been debating about installing them, mostly afraid of possible degradation of the ride. Well, my wife finally made up my mind for me. She said " Either install them or I am putting them on Ebay" Anyway out mechanic charged me a little over $400.00 to install them, he said while the car was in the shop there were 4 offers to buy it. LOL. Anyway I am finished with modding and I must say she is lovely and the ride hasn't changed much except I can hit the off and on ramps even faster. Enjoy the PICS....

Very nice, I recently had the same setup installed, also after more than a year sitting in the garage. Unfortunately one of my front struts has a small leak, probably from sitting all that time, hopefully you had better luck with yours.

I am in Upper Marlboro, I drive through Rockville on occassion to visit friends. U have to come out with us to the local spots. We were at the Blvd last weekend. Sure yours will look good after the install.
