Default New Installs: Hotchkis, Tokico, Painted Headlights (56k maybe) :D

Just finished intall this weekend with a help of a friend. TVS1 Kit + Tokico D-Specs. Still waiting for the springs to settle so I can get an alignment. The ride is a lot stiffer now - I feel every little bump. I have the Tokico's on full stiff maybe that's why. Here are some quick pics:






I put a little personal touch in this one - see if you can find it.

Thanks for your comments everyone, yea I have the D-specs (DSP-9).

I don't think I can afford a whole kit right now so I'm probably going to add some type of lip - maybe a VS1 Lip in CF. The eyelids are from Evo-R, pretty good finish and has not faded in anyway.

If anyone needs tips on how to install their springs and shocks, pm me! It's a pretty simple bolt and unbolt, once you do it, the next time it's a lot easier

Thanks. I'll try to get some more shots without the reflection. I need a front lip bad so if someone needs to sell their CF V1 lip, send over a pm.

do you need a camber kit when you drop with the tokicos? This is the D-Spec kit with the springs right?

No, I have the Hotchkis Springs + Tokico struts. Camber kit not necessary but alignment is probably a good idea.
