well the spring install took waaaay too long, i should have waited to put my sway bar on and i had some issues with my jack and the front. other than that the backs were easy and i don't even have to say how much the fronts sucked, you guys know! so now i don't want to do anything to my car for a long time :laugh:

it looks much better in person, i'll take some new pics after i clean her up

BIG THANKS to Chris07LB's DIY, would have never been able to do it without it and other posts i found helpful on here, so thank you yarisworld too! Yeah, and I should have used a spring compressor, i thought "oh they might pop a little" damn things flew across my room and chipped the wall LOL

oh and, when should i get an alignment?

Nice car! I like new 2009 bracket foglights.


Your car comes with rear bumper protector? Can you take a picture of it?

BTW good job!

Well done and you saved some bucks. Sway bar isn't any big deal on the install. I very much like the tint.

thanks! yeah the sway bar was nothing, it just would have saved me a little time to wait and put it on after i did the springs so i didn't have to put it on, take it off then put it back on again lol

I would get an alignment done sooner than later. It's not a huge drop but i'm sure the specs changed a little.

Did you have a hard time getting the wiper cowl back together?
Mine was a pain.

actually, i didn't think it was that bad
i was just worried i would forget to put something back or forget where something went lol
