      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.

            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 ???

                  @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.

                  -J

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

                        Chopping them in half is what you're referring to? I'd be careful doing it, but totally do-able if you don't have compressors handy.
                        Need a part? PM me.

                            Same. When I was 15. Nearly lopped off my buddies thumb. I told him it was stupid to hold it that way... "no, fuck it, just cut it man".

                              Why would anyone cut the springs when you can rent a spring compressor from Autozone for free? and possibly sell the stock springs.

                                maybe they like a soft ride?
