    Lifted!

    Well I finally took the plunge and lifted my VX. Managed about a 3" lift using the OME 912 springs. I am VERY happy with the outcome. Looks 10x better, tires dont rub or scrape anymore, the ride is 10x smoother, and speedbumps and potholes dont feel like mountains and canyons anymore! Photos were taken by my iphone, forgive the mediocre quality lol

    Looks good man. I remember how excited I was when I first lifted mine. Guess I've gotten used to it. Need to park next to a stock one again...

    Thanks guys! It seemed like when I got my VX almost a year ago that once I got tires and a lift id be set and happy but surprisingly... im not satisfied at all! I now want even MORE. So many modifications but so little time and money ugh its depressing and exciting at the same time. I guess thats just a part of owning a VX!

    ....

    I have vague recollections of such a thought...years ago...

    Before it was too late...and "VX addiction" had it's way with me...& my poor deflated & still smokin' wallet...

    There is hope..

    After you've done most every mod available to you in the realm of the aftermarket, and you start to fabricate your own mods, it DOES slow down...a little...

    Keep the faith!
