care to share how much you spent overall?

So i decided to go with '12 suspensions! I might still get KWs down the road but for now I am happy with how the car drives :)

is it that big of an improvement? I have never sat in a pre 2011

How smoother is your car after 2012 suspension 1-10?

Last week I bought a set of '12 suspensions and had them installed on my car today. I love how instant and how noticeable the difference was. I am loving my new mod :)

I thought in my head that the worst that could happen is I don't like it at all and flip them on the for sale forum or eBay. Boy was I wrong.

This is definitely my favorite mod so far. I'm not even going to go into the springs in detail as the shocks. I live in St. Louis where the roads are what you might expect if it were a war zone. Every day, driving to and from work was a constant reminder of the crumbling infrastructure. Not so much anymore. After installing the shocks and springs, my wife even noticed how much more comfortable the ride was. Little uneven dips are now absorbed comfortably and controlled, but when pushed, it still feels stiff and willing.

Getting to the install, it's really not hard at all. In fact, you don't need to disconnect the front upper control arms or ball joints. Just undo the sway at and you have plenty of room to fish them out. I did loosen up most of the suspension and preloaded it to make sure the bushings were at their new neutral position. All in all it took maybe 4 hours taking my time.

I would definitely advocate any 2008-2010 owners to look into this upgrade and enjoy the ride.

Could have sworn i saw this thread a few months ago, only the person who made it said they had to make some modifications that came out to a lot more than ~850, did you guys only change coilovers? Definitely my next mod if you really can smooth out the ride that much for under 1k.
