Default Finally Dropped the R/T!!!

Just did it over the weekend, first a before pic, then the sexy after pics. Replaced the struts and springs with a Tokico HP strut/spring sombo. It rides great, and sits perty. Later this week finishing the tint and putting on the Carbon By Design PVO CF spoiler!

The ride is amazing. Now I just need to upgrade the sway bars and add strut tower bars to stiffen it up a bit. I think I found the set for around$350 plus shipping on ebay...if you want to know the seller PM me, it was a very smooth fast transaction.

What kind of sway bars? Because front/rear strut tower bars can be had for cheap unless you want the ultra fancy DC's...as far as sway bars you can get the Hotchkis 29mm front/24mm rear for $280 shipped...and in my opinion the Hotchkis are the very best you could get.

I got my front strut tower bar (DC) for about 139 and the rear for 89 (DC). They helped stiffen up the car alot. Where are you getting the Hotchkis sway bars at and do they have the grease fitting in the bushings?

If it came with the alignment specs I didn't see them. I just brought it to my local guy the next day and for $70 it's aligned and rides amazingly.
I wasn't sure about the sway bars yet, thats a winter project probably, the strut tower bars i think I am going with the Vibrant ones, I've had Vibrant before and I liked thier quality, wither that or DC.
