Nice to know, 73k will be extremely low because I might be going to Italy or Japan for 3 years.

I'll think about it. Once I get the parts I need for the seat and mod it, then maybe.

Called a place to see how much it would be to install my lowering kit when I buy it, and they said $375! Is that expensive? They said that is also with alignment.

Unless you just don't have the time then its a waste of money to pay to have that installed. I was quoted 250 to have just coil springs installed. and that didnt include the alignment! Did it myself for free

actually i guess i cant say that. i dont even know what kind of lowering kit you're talking about. that might be a hell of a deal!

I told them what I thought I was getting. I'm getting the Belltech Stage 1 Kit + 4 shocks free.

I'd do it myself, but have no IDEA on how to do something like this.

Agreed. Between Travis and Patrick, you should be able to get it done over the phone...
