just installed RRM springs.
Hey guys, thought i'd throw up some pics of my RA with RRM springs installed. next, i'm going to find some plasti-dip and black vinyl and fix up the nose ring, and fill in the bottom lip with the black vinyl. pics to follow.

AND NEW WHEELS OBV! been trying to find some 18x9's in black. but cant find any i like just yet.

really good so far. feels a little more stiff in the corners, and you can feel all the little cracks in the road, but I can live with it.

yeah i did it myself. tried to do it without an impact, and it didn't go well. you need it to tighten the nut that holds the spring down on the shock. without an impact, the shock shaft turns, so i had to run and borrow one from a buddy to finish the job. other than that, fairly painless install. Just make sure you wash the underside of your car really good before you get under there. GL

u got a nice ride Ralliart but why did u use the cheap brand RRM springs?

there are so many other choices on the springs, why RRM?

no offense.
but..
RRM V1 pulley cause oil leak
RRM V1 header got problem (my friend experienced it)
RRM "stainless steel" exhause can be rusted...
RRM Air filter of the SRI is like Fujita..
RRM SWay bar does not fit perfectly and cause noises..


damn.. why still have so many people use their stuff, i dont know why

The springs were on sale on ebay for $200 CDN shipped, and i heard good things about them from other RA guys so i went with them.
