Good stuff, literally finished installing my Meyle kit last night and she drives like new now, I'm hopefully dropping it with Tein Basics in a few weeks too. Good luck, it took me 2 hours to do one side with a little help.

Awesome price and I've heard good things about that kit. At some point I'll probably drop the coin and pick it up as well. Hiwords isn't kidding about the pinch bolt - that thing sucks.

Great move to buy a house too - definitely focus on that over a lowered suspension. Home ownership can be a pain sometimes, but it's worth it. I love having my garage set up as it is, and it's definitely nice owning the house and being able to do whatever you want with it without having to get approval from someone else. You won't regret it.
