Simple supply and demand thoery. Did you know the driveside front headlight is about $100 more then the passengerside headlight. Reason is, the driverside is most likely to be the side wrecked.
Yeah I wondered why this was. Good observation
Just wreckt the LS...

Here in NJ the saying is "you have to go right to make a left" most intersection like that one here it's illegal to make a left. You would have to hit the jug to wrap yourself around to the intersection crossing light.
hows your car comin along man,havent been on here much lately see you decided to do the stuff yourself , good idea man im sure you will have plenty of money left over to for some other stuff, anyways good luck with it..

Still waiting on that damn insurance check... My claim adjuster has not even returned my message I left 2 days ago about it... Going to call Monday a little more frustrated. Anyways I have started some of the ordering on my own:
I never knew how heavy the HID headlights were until now. lolz

Also put in clear turn signals in the rear lights. Here are some progress photos:

Car is coming along good. Those chrome bulbs really cleaned up the rear of the car. It shows even more on a dark colored car. Nice work.

Why did you think I was older? lol
Sprint lists 1.75" for front and rear both. Probably closer to 2" when done.
My reasons for going with these is I am getting 19" wheels with a 245/35/19 tire @ 45mm offset. It all sits perfect in my head, we will see as it pans out.
It is pretty crazy how getting in this wreck is allowing me to be able to do all of these mods at once - wouldn't be possible if I didn't do the work myself though.
Im tellen you once insurance pulls the trigger and sends that cash my way, it is going to come together quickly.
I am very excited!

I dont know, I just thought you were a little older. When are you planning on getting the rims, down the road or with your insurance money, I might use you as a gunie pig . I was thinking of getting those vulcan 18 jags rims or some 19's. Want to see which springs will compliment the rims better good

That will sit pretty with 245/35/19's on a 45 offset and Sprints. I won't put up another picture, but mine are 245/35 front and 245/40 rear with a 42 offset, lowered on Springtechs (probably close to the same drop as the Sprints.)
I just called them and they told me they r on backorder and they'll about 2 months to arrive.
Ive been asking this question since I first bought my car like 2 years ago.. Will the sprints for V8s fit my V6 ?? The rear struts r the same part number from ford, but the fronts r not.

The site says they are available and not on back order. 1-3 business days. I ordered already and they have not contacted me about them being on backorder.
I may call them tomorow if I don't hear from them.
ANd from what I have read, all springs fit all year and model LSes. Not sure though with the diff part#s

This cant be happening !! I placed an order on directtuning.com and 20 minutes later they called me saying that Sprint Springs do not have them in stock and they dont know when they r going to make some more, so they cancelled my order :Bang
Maybe u r right, remember mine is V6. Part number is different but I dont know man. The rears should b the same as the strut part number is the same for LS6s and LS8s, but if they front ones are slightly different I wonder how could I solve that to fit them right in.
