schweet, please PM cost for RSB alone and with the above mentioned services.

just did Firestone as rec'd. nice guys, good service. now gotta get the RSB installed.
i need a place that does easy install projects for guys who can't do easy installs. i'd love to knock out a jazzy aux-in, cleared headlights, and sway bar install all at once.

do you have to get alignment after putting rear sway bar on?
-
You can take your car to Firestone and give them your alignment specs. For $150 lifetime alignment service, it is worth it if you keep changing your set up.
i spec it out personally? usually the whole arrangement is more passive: i bring it in, they hand it back to me and say- we had to give it this much neg camber, don't slam it so much...
-
you guys do alignment?
-
if that was an original- bravo, man. great write up. this may be the one thread where no one will demand pictures...

Nobody made it a sticky and a lot of SoCal noobs are asking where to take their car for service or any work done.
i resemble that remark:lol:

anyone have any idea what the longevity of these springs are? i've heard a few complaints about them and given the warranty is only one year, i was curious.

I have Silverstars on my previous vehicle. It's a little brighter for sure, and certainly whiter. They have been fine for 2 years now, fwiw.
Incidentally, just to point out a little silliness that I see on the roads. Often I see people with blue-tinted lights. The Silverstars are more white, and slightly blueish, but not like the "blue" lights I see so often. For those that don't know, blue is one of the harder colors for our eyes to see - that's why you have heard of those Blueblocker sunglasses. So, going "blue" isn't the answer - it simply adds haziness to your vision, and doesn't accomplish much else. Yellow lights probably are better than blue, with white being the best, of course.
Ok, I'm off my soapbox now.
isn't the yellow end of the spectrum easier on the eyes? i mean, if you are to say that blue is bad, hence the need for blue blockers- wouldn't the natural assumption be then that white (which is a combination of all colors of the spectrum and therefore have blue in it) would be bad as well.
my understanding is that yellow (to be more appropriate- "natural") light was chosen for that very reason. when HID's came out, they were annoying to some oncoming drivers but were more useful to the driver of the vehicle in question because of their HIGH INTENSITY. However, these wannabe white lights (i.e. PIAA) merely are colored white, do not offer any increase in discharge and therefore lumination, and so offer the driver no advantage and still serve to piss off everyone else.
