Re: Want to lower the front of my '95

Excellent feedback guys! SMC, I contacted that gentleman on Craigslist, thank you! If I get these springs, do you know what the drop is on these? Would it be worth just getting all four done?

Re: Friday, September 23rd "Friday Night Lights"

I'm in Southeastern Wisconsin about 45 minutes away. Be nice to see another SVX in what will likely be a sea of Civics, WRXes and Evos

Re: SVXs near Chicago (specficly Downers Grove area)

I'm in for either, perhaps we could just casually meet down in Schaumburg and have our own clutch of SVXes amongst the throngs of imports running around

Re: SVXs near Chicago (specficly Downers Grove area)

You're not the last! Number 1, that red SVX with the "older Asian gentleman" (I'm 42 this year) might have been me. I don't live near Downers Grove, live right on the other side of the border into WI...

Where did you get the OT's from? I am very interested since you say it a straight plug in, I am worried about having to cut and splice. Does the SVX use a universal Subaru connector? How much did...

Re: HID Conversion

Excellent! Straight plug in or cutting and splicing required? Which wattage 35w or 55w? Did you use the Slimline or Raptor? Where did you mount the ballasts?

Thanks!
