Just ordered a set of Cobb Tuning Sport Springs. I've been thinking about these for a few months now, hopefully I'll have them on by the end of next week! :D

You weenie! Lol Thought you were gonna go with the Teins? Its all good that I'll still be the lowest Speed3. :D Cobb Springs are badass, that was my second choice. Can't wait to see it especially with your new rims. Go to Import Sports for the install if you haven't already found a place.

Does anyone do their own spring installs these days? Congrads on the new springs.

Congrats on the new springs!

I would've liked to do my own shocks/springs (and thanks to a few of you that offered your garage space to me) but just couldn't find the time to do it, especially after having my stuff stored for 3 months before I even put it on the car!

So, the Cobb springs were on backorder, this is something i really want to do sooner than later, so I decided to go with the Tein S-techs. Hopefully the car wont be too much of a snow plow next winter, but the summer will be fun. These shipped out today so hopefully Monday or Tuesday I'll be having them installed at Import Sports!

<Raises hand> I am also more than willing to help anyone do theirs. I have spring compressors for shocks & struts too. so need to buy/rent them.

The wife would disagree with you Josh ;p

I enjoy working on cars ;-)

That goes for anyone that needs help, or tools. If there's a tool you need for a certain job, let me know before you buy it if it's a "one time" use kind of tool. I'm more than happy to lend them to you guys...
