And related to this thread, my search for FX35's isn't going that well, i had one guy in Florida that was able to get some, but I told him i didn't need them cause i found some closer. then that was bought out before i got to. now my WTB thread on hidplanet seems to go unanswered :( and not 2 weeks ago there were like 6 sets for sale and they are all gone :cry:

the hunt continues.

Fog light switch is for a bixenon setup :thumb:



OK... so... installing the suspension today, started at 1PM... it is now 10:39pm and it has yet to be finished.... im' tired, a fucking mess, and still have yet to even start on one of the struts... the bushing of course decided to take a royal fuck on us.. and it was my shear stupidity to think that even though the car isn't that old that they would be ok.... no... they weren't
so after calling about a dozen places looking for the bushing, we found one place that did.. i said at least a half dozen times asking if they were the rear lower control arm outer bushing... they said yes each and every time.... you think they were? FUCK NO!!! they were the front lower control arm bushing... :x

So we ghetto rigged it up for to hold me till i got the actual bushings, or LCA's.... then we decided to put the washermod for the camber... stripped the fucking threading out of the socket :x went to retap it...fuck... i'm not even gonna get into that right now :x

So in conclusion we got the fron installed in an hour and a half that included farting around trying to figure it out. and putting the axle that wanted to keep coming out back in about a half dozen times. and we have on of the rear ones half done... and one to go :x ...i'm going to order some LCAs tomorrow i think and install them next week

Stock ride height, could almost fit my entire hand

here's some pics of it so far, can only fit 2 fingers
