    No more steelies for me!!!

    Well, i finally shelled out the bucks for a decent set of rims. I also hooked up the CE with power door locks and keyless entry. I think i did pretty well considering I've never done anything like that before. Now i can't decide what to do next: drop, lip kit (all around), or exhaust (trd).

    it wasn't too bad, the hardest part was figuring out the placement. The first couple of tries, the door panel would create pressure against the actuator causing it to jam. But over all, it wasn't bad at all, you just have to be a little creative. It took me a weekend to trouble shoot a couple of things, but that was just becuase of my inexperience.

    What did you use to do the power lock conversion? Was it one complete kit, or parts you pieced together?

    thats some stiff ass suspension there u got..... b4 the drop my rear was sagging down like no other and my front was alot lower, my whole car was lower actually, and my subs weren't that heavy either, they are only 2 12's in a somewhat small box.....
    my suspension was so soft that you can press down on it and it will drop pretty far.... and i only had 50k when i got mine dropped
