john what color are the springs? gray or red? you will be fine, its good to drive on new springs for few houdred miles before going for aligment, so they sattle down.

i believe the swift springs for the evo x are red, the drop is only about 1 inch. i've been extremely busy at work, i'm not sure when i can do this next week. so how many miles do i have? any recommendations in naperville area? I was going to check out the place in northbrook but i don't think i have time for that.

they're getting installed today! I have a choice to get the alignment after the installation, but I'd rather let them settle and not waste money with a second alignment - unless the unalignment will destroy my tires and end up costing me even more.

mod day

after installing new control arms, tie rods, stock springs, tein lowering springs i almost wasnt going to make it. when my mechanic was bleeding my brakes the bleeder on my passenger front caliper decided it wanted to strip out and take all the treads with it. Luckly i know adam (old owner of devo tuning) i took a two hour drive to chicago today to get a caliper and now i will be there.
