If you don't care about the stock springs you can actually do everything with out removing the strut housing or a spring compressor.

thanks buddy (:

@CHIF8008; may be able to get pics tomorrow for you. The install was simple for me cause I already replaced factory springs with shorter ones. If you are replacing factory springs you will need a spring comressor set (rent from advanc with like $75 deposit). Then just blast the three strut mount nuts off along with the brake calipers and sway bar endlinks. Then put some thick tape on fender at wheel well lip (to keep your paint on the car). Then press struts down and pull them out at same time. Don't break wheel speed sensor wiring. Remove lock nut from strut and take all old crap off then throw away. Assemble in reverse order. If you have any specific questions, pm me.

From "the other" thread lol

Not the greattest pix but this is what I have:

JOM shocks/struts next to Eibach pro springs
(the paint is really thin and scratches easily but otherwise the shocks/struts are in great condidtion.)










(my own box; did not ship this way)

Will get comparison pix when I swap them in over break as soon as next week.

Okay so I'm getting more and more pissed off every day that my damn front adjuster doesn't come in. And now all I'm getting from les is " we apologize for the delay you should have your parts soon ". Am I the only one that got screwed Here ???

Ok, it's a DD needing some low.

[CHIF8008]

get a strut brace and bigger sways if you want less bodyroll

[MaxBell]

Can we just get some BLOODY REVIEWS AND PHOTOS HERE PEOPLE!?

Thanks. Also, are the vert springs going to be spine shattering or are the sedan springs good enough for my 4dr. It's a DD needing some low and a little less body roll.

[CHIF8008]

@jswift- so when you get pics can you get them all the way up and all the way down for reference. also info of how you installed would be appreciated

[ethrtyiS]

I meant to get to mine today, but where my car is stored also houses my oldest friend who's fallen quite into a bad drug addiction. So, the garage is stacked full of shit and I just scheduled to remove the vehicle before even attempting to dive in. Will have these on mid December. Thanks for the review J! Awesome. So awesome I can hardly wait.

Installed my fronts last night. Didn't get to rears yet cause it took over an hour of pb blast and torch to get the drivers side strut nut off. What a bitch. Have adjusters set all the way up and it is just at factory height (will lower an inch or two in the next couple of days). Probably gonna set rears at factory height when I install them, rake ftw. They ride very nice (about 200 miles on them so far). A little bumpy but MUCH smoother/cusher than what I had (generic eBay springs/sleeves on decade old struts). Little body roll, which I suspect is from the soft rear affecting the suspension dynamics. Almost no dipping under heavy braking ( used ABS and dipped maybe an inch). All this with the softer coupe springs. Was going to swap for vert springs but screw waiting any longer and I am happy with my choice so far. Will post pics when I get rears installed.

Very helpful, thank you!
