Very nice, Pare! I am not mechanically inclined but can offer you an extra hand to install these. Just call me.

I thought you had a sport already? What's the M sport suspension?

It's more expensive than regular sport suspension .
And also my car is five years old , and because I hate the ride with the lowered aftermarket sport springs.

Rizbel,

nice M kit you have there! i took alot of pictures while installing my kit (not m sport btw - see my sig) as i planned on doing a DIY thread. back then, i was sooo busy with school (finals and stuff) and a month went by, then 2 and so on and so on. can't believe summer is over and school is back in session so that diy might have to wait a little bit (if ever)

you seem to be a mechanically inclined guy (nice brake setup you did there), so taking up the challenge of doing your suspension shouldn't be that much more difficult. trust me, if you can do your brakes then you can do your shocks and springs. it may be a few hours longer but sure worth the experience. pm me if you have any questions. i am more than willing to help out a member anytime, anyday. good luck

More expensive because it has 'M' on it?

It it supposed to be stiffer than sport?
