So we got my Road Magnets installed along with the Tokico D-Specs (thanks guys - you know who you are) and its amazing. I have it turned to 2 turns from full soft, and it rides like the stock car before, but still takes turns much better. I am very pleased with my spring/strut choice. Heres a ton of pics from cruisin around today with one of my friends (he has the red g6 sedan). I have all these pics on my cardomain, but have them all in high res if anybody happens to want some lemme know. Check my cardomain in the next few days if you want to see more pics (I haven't put them on any of my pages there yet). Thanks and lemme know what you think...

Lookin good buddy. What's next?
Clean up that cover under the hood though

Thanks, I didn't wash/clean my car at all before the pics because the weather this week might not be so great. Rims and engine bay are really dirty too. My plans for this year are: install strut bars I have, eco s/c, fab up a boost gauge pod, 2.5" full exhaust, carbon fiber under hood covers and some other small details. I am mostly done with the exterior of the car (besides rims in the far future), but I am satisfied with it for now.

Seems like the reports of the Road Magnets being more comfortable than Sportlines are true then. For a stock-like ride, I need to go to a full soft 7.5 turns. Even one turn less is obviously harsher than stock.

the drop looks great! your plans for the car sound good also.

i know whats on my wish list for my/car's birthday

looks good man. what kind of drop do those provide and how much were they?

Geeky - yeah i am not even close to full softness and it rides like stock. i might even turn em a few turns harder because i rode around on almost full hardness and didn't think it was all that bad for the first day.

yeah don't worry about it, we got it done. and the strut bars didn't get installed because of time and i didn't have the extra nuts needed for the rear bar. they will get put on this weekend probly. and yeah i really am 17.

thanks, i got mine directly from Road Magnet and they were $180 ($150 +$30 for powdercoating black) but that was in the group purchase discount. but they are back at regular price now. and they are a 2" drop all around. i would definitely recommend these springs.

thanks for all the comments/criticisms so far...keep em coming

Looks good Bro. Just glad to know I had a hand in it now get some black paint and we can do your rims. The Tokico spec-D's are what Im going to get for my cav. it was an easy swap.

^Yeah glad you could help me out. I am still trying to decide if I want to paint my rims or not...

do they have about the same spring rate as eibach sportlines?

Car looks good. Sometimes a seamingly stock and lowered Jbody is better than overkill. Like most always seam to accomplish...

If i had a 2nd Jbody ied inquire about that same suspension setup. props.

thanks, that is the sleeper look i am goin for. and yes, i really do love this suspension setup and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a nice drop and stock riding, yet amazing handling setup.

glad its all working out good so far. will be even nicer when you get your strut bars on.
