yeah i think i'm gonna order the road magnets tomorrow from the vendor selling them on here. $220 shipped aint bad... now to install them myself or just pay for them to get done? i hate taking my car somewhere to get work done, always seem like something always gets messed up. when i got my windows tinted when i first bought the car they melted the black plastic that separates the passenger side window and the rear passenger side window twice and it took three times to get the passenger side window right! hard to find good service these days, people just do not give a %$^& about other peoples hard earned stuff.

aren't the awd's sits higher? that's what I thought, so putting on after market would make it not as low. I don't know, i'm just assuming, lol
VT, I'd definitly get someone to do it if you don't know how and it's a lot easier i heard if they have a lift to lift it up. I"m gona get my mechanic to do it for me. should be about 2 hours to get it done.

like i mentioned before i have installed lifts before on a few different vehicles which is a lot harder from what i have seen on some of the DIY installs by people on this forum who have lowered there 250/350 themselves... but yeah i think i may just take it to get it done cuz i'm feeling lazy. wheels come tomorrow so i may throw them on and rock my whip looking like a monster truck this week. if i put them on a will take pics, guess i have to order the springs for sure now, might do that tonight online.
, funny thing is some shop wants to charge me 350 to get them installed, LOL.

wheels arrived yesterday, 2 out of 4 were dinged thanks to UPS! they are sending me new wheels as soon as they come in "special order" and paying me back for getting the tires swapped and all that jazz. i'm sick of getting worked up over things like this so i am kinda like whatever about the whole incident, i half expected something like this to happen. the wheels are mounted on the car for the time being until the new ones get here. car looks nice but man do i need to get this thing lowered asap. will post pics as soon as i get this thing lowered, too embarrassed to post pics as is, although once it is lowered i will post the before pics and measurements. thanks for your patience and i will get these pics up asap!

i sent you a PM to a place i got mine from. They are the real deal. I checked this also as i read about it myself. If you are going to pull the trigger purchase from where i did and they are a little less then what you got quoted. Not that its going to make or break but its a little something and I personally had no issues with them!

no, i know places here that charges 150-200 to get it installed. Anything over that you're getting ripped off.
When I received my wheels, 2 had defects on it, so i sent it back to MOMO, they were very good about it, covered shipping back, and sent new wheels right away. Turn around time was only about a week.

well if you were following this thread i am sorry for not getting pics up yet but they are coming... car is in the shop and will be there until friday. when i pick it up my exhaust, lowering springs, wheels etc will all be installed. if it does not rain all weekend i will get pics or i might go to this covered garage to get pics anyway! ugh the anticipation is killing me!!! my shop is going to also look at the rear deck to see about installing my new ARC sub in the deck instead of making a fiber glass box in the trunk. that will hopefully installed in two weeks or so. well stay tuned and i will post the pics! 
we should get an awd thread started or use this one for people to post their awd setups wheels, springs etc!
p.s.
i went with the tein s-techs and the hks high powered exhaust because the dude working on my car had a pallet of HKS stuff coming in and got me an awesome deal. funny thing is, some other dude with a 250 had an hks high powered delivered on the same skid.
