Guess free is not enough. They are hard to find of ebay. All I can find are the ones with mores spokes.

[Mike]

Thats where I found my set. You would probably get angry if I told you what I paid.

[wtcii]

Probably will, they looked flawless from the pictures that I saw. New they are about $640.00 before shipping and I am not going to pay that. There is a Ebay store that sells Replica TL 5-Spoke wheels for $525.00 shipped so that is really tempting but Im going to wait for a while to see if I can find some silver stars because I like them more. I would also like to have the smaller tire to try to be a little bit more conservative. Other wheels that I am considering are TSX wheels, not really sure which ones, and the 06/07 EX V6 wheels.

I double Posted and I cant delete either one, crap.

[Mike]

I paid 500+ shipping.

[wtcii]

I wish I could come buy a deal like that unless they were being douches and the shipping was 200 to avoid ebay fees. After it is lowered im going to start looking a lot more frequently. My money is kind of tied up now with the ridiculous amount of money I am going to have to pay to get my springs installed.

[wtcii]

My Dad and I have decided to do the springs now I will be installing them Friday, not getting them installed in two weeks. I hope it is as easy as people say.

Let me know how it goes, i.e. number of people it took, tools required, time, etc. I want to get some springs, but I'm also not wanting to have to pay to get them installed. Someone on here is selling a a Pro-kit, but they have like 40k miles on it. Should that affect anything?

Where'd you get your rear camber kit? I'm wondering if I should lower my car first, or get rims (if I get the chance, that is) first.

[wtcii]

A Pro-Kit has a 1 million mile warranty so I wouldn't concerned with the milage. I got my Rear camber Kit from Ultrarev.com per Thien's suggestion for $145.00 shipped, I believe that is just about the best price your going to find new. I would also suggest the Ingalls because it is a dual arm replacment, camber and toe I believe. I would definitely lower first because if you think your 4x4 now wait til you get rims. On the installation, its going to be two people and if you need a tool list Thien created a DIY that has all the tools and step by step instructions. I will have to buy a torque wrench and spring compressors but it is still going to save me over $200.00 to do it myself. Ill let you know how it goes.

Ok, thanks. I just gotta PM Jellynuts and let him know about that set he's selling. I wonder how much a spring compressor costs... You're going to use stock shocks right?

If only you lived near me, we could do a dual spring install, i help you, you help me! lol Except I have to buy the springs and stuff first, lol.

[wtcii]

I will be on stock struts for a while. A spring compressor is around $50-$75 depending on which one you get.

^ You could just rent one at AutoZone or go to a shop that has one and ask them to do it for a small fee.

I now have a full year running Eibach’s Pro-Kit with the OEM shocks… They are still holding up well…

Hmmm, I'm starting to like this, lol. If I can get that used Prokit off Jellynuts (if he ever gets back online), then get the ingalls camber kit off ultrarev (that'll end up costing more than the springs ), I should be able to lower my car for less than ~$250.

[NWINNIE34]

good shit man... just make sure the springs are for the 4 cylinder and not the V6
i lucked out huge and for some reason this tuner shop in linden, nj (AMS Autowerks) did entire shocks/springs install for $160
most other places were in the 300-400 range

yur eventually gonna have to do shocks too down the road... if your replacing springs.... the shocks are right there.... so makes sense to do it all at same time versus doing the entire process over once you do shocks...

good buy tho, i got my springs for $150 shipped brand new.... alot of sites out there range from 240-275

way to piss off Tim guys (Billy and Jonathan) lol
