okay dood! i set them up to about an inch gap over the front and rear, i raised it from the pre-set height, its way lower than the s-techs, but its not slammed. looks clean! lol, i went to have it aligned this morning and the place was full of retards, they had to do it twice cause they were rushing the new guy, and some dumb older redneck that drove a 90 intergra with a rattle can paint job and fiberglass fast and furious bodykit, WITH louvered fenders, came up and looked at my blox control arms and said "man at is wat it is, ey' aint no rear camber adjustments, it cant be adjusted," it was close to closing, so my camber is off in the back, tho i have rear kit, and they didnt adjust my front or rear toe. they wanted to get me outta there, they aligned it with the steering wheel crooked first, and they all came and tried to point out how my stuff wasnt right. f**king RETARDS. i paid 70 bucks for crap. im taking it to the ford dealership monday morning bright and early. ill have pics up just dont have time before work, i was up till 4:45 this morning tweaking. i think i did a damn good job. intial installation was smooth as s**t. and they ride very well, much stiffer. but my steering is weird due to front toe out.
i love the good ol' boy bad asses that ride your ass down the straights in their jacked up trucks, with the headlights eye level, reflecting directly back into your eyes. then as soon as you corner you leave them by 3 car lengths, hear the turbo spool, and they attatched to your bumper when it straightens out again. i dont mean to complain so much, but i dont have any import enthusiasts to vent to, so i do it here cause you guys know where im coming from lol.
I ORDERED SOMETHING TODAY!!! i paid some bills and had alittle left for spending, so i gots me another part for my jelly bean! also heres a pic of the racing jack i got from harbor freight, works like a champ! i highly recommend one, made the suspension swap a breeze, and some pics from yesterday.
heres some pics of mine and some friends yesterday, we had a "car wash meet" and small cruise in town. it was fun.

Hey Roma, where did you get your paint job done becuz it is simply beautiful =]
thanks you guys! actually i bought the car salvaged cause it was broken into and had to fix alot of things on it to get it to this point, the paint was actually in good shape just a little dull, so when i got the car one of the first things i did was claybar the paint, polished it with mothers polish compound and a polish wheel, then hand waxed it with mothers carnuba cleaner wax and polish, it comes in the tin shoe polish like can. i got all these items at walmart.
What kinda blang?
^ they add 10hp so there performance and looks. Not to mention aerodynamics and light weight 
Op I did the same thing as u, accept I use Beaty shine for my wax. It's amazing how a little TLC can bring back an old paint job so much. I wax my cars twice a month.

BAAHAHAHA yes!!! i dont know, i think some ppl say that 00 lights are just as cool, but i dont care, though its a 96. thats like saying dood keep it y7 cause its a cx, dont swap the motor.
sent you a message on FB regarding a part out request!
thats awesome! i know right? but i wax mine once every 8 weeks, unless you buy a new applicator and micro fiber towel to hand buff the wax off, that often can lead to tiny spider web swirlly scratches. imho.^ they add 10hp so there performance and looks. Not to mention aerodynamics and light weight
