I've had pro-kit on since 08 and haven't blown the stock struts... it's only noticeably bouncy on really bad roads...
but that's just me... i tend to baby it on bad roads anyway...

yeahhh thats what its like for us too; its really bouncy, but thats the only time its noticeable. we go very slow on the bad roads too, but even the slightest little crack or bump seems to bounce us up in our seat. haha.

we just took the headlights out, took a sharp razor blade type thing to take the glue off the headlights that held them together, taped off all the area except the crome piece that we wanted to paint & then we spray painted with black paint. after we let it dry we got some opoxy stuff that we had to mix together & we glued the headlight lense part back on very good so that way no water or anything could get in.

agreed!!

Anyway to avoid this glare? I want hid's bad but I respect other drivers.

I was wondering if anyone was gonna mention the glare, I hate when people throw HID's in as a stock replacement. They aren't meant to be used that way, gonna piss people off (cops too) in a heartbeat!!

I got the 35w from DDM. I just angled my lights down. Had them on for a month now. Haven't been flashed once at night. Also have passed some cops with no problems.

Sorry I find that hard to believe. I have pulled stock struts with stock springs with 8k on them and go to push them in and they blow. Stock GM struts suck the big ones. Put lowering springs and they suck even more.

HID in regular headlight housings, and drop springs on stock struts and it took that long for people to mention?

wow.


get some projectors in there, HID + regular headlights is not cool.

and throw some koni shocks in with those springs.. why put them in on stock struts? the ride is crap...

why not wait and save for replacements and do it right the first time..?





Re: hid's, smoked lights & lowered!

Get some KYB AGX struts/shocks. I <3 mine + prokits.

and I'm getting some 6K HIDs for my factory headlights, does that make me lame too? lol projector-less FTW

I feel a LOT safer knowing I can actually see what's in front of me at night. And since they are not angled in anyone's face... what makes them unsafe? Replacement super bright halogens weren't cutting it. I spent just as much on a kit, and it's wonderful.
