My Ride: 2006 titanium silver metallic Like new 41k Cold Weather Package
Exclamation

Got my springs installed today, only $150cdn for the install so I was very happy with that. The ride is not harsh at all I drove over a number of different surfaces today and am 100 percent happy with my purchase! I was really nervouse because of some of the problems other members have had but I did not have to cut my bumpstops and everything went off without a hitch, the car rides great.

The true test was when my wife took it to the store, she came back and said, I feel taller. I asked her what about the ride, she couldn't even tell the difference so this got by the better half without a hitch Yipee!

It's been raining for a few days here so the pics are of a dirty car with poor photography skills so take it for what it is worth lol

Looks good. However, you should give it sometime to settle. You will know the real difference after a few hundred miles.

I bought these used, they had one season of service. I don't think it will drop any more but if it does score

I didn't know they are used. So, maybe this is it.
