I'm not gonna show you guys how to install, because that's already been covered here.

Instead i'll tell you guys how it rides and what it looks like dropped, to show you what you could be in store for, if so you decide to get these down the road.

Installation took about 4 hours from the first wiper that came off til the last tool was put away. Reason why it took so long is because alot of it was trial and error. install, put on wheel, lower car, raise car, take off wheel, uninstall, 4x etc.

The fronts are modded at lowest point a quarter of an inch before the axle boot. The only way i could go lower now is to cut the lower shock body bracket, but it's risky with the chance that it may not re-thread back onto the shock body.

The rears are self-explanatory. if you wanna go lower, be creative.

First Impressions
I'm coming from eibach pro kits. overall the car lost the bit of body roll that was left with just a spring/shock drop. it's very nimble, and i don't ever hit the bump stops in the rear like i used to with my eibach's. (rear bumpstops weren't cut)
The best part is that the car is very firm now, and it's reflexes are quicker. It's not teeth-chatteringly stiff...its very firm. For those of you worried about it being too stiff..don't be. it's not unbearable. The spring rates are supposedly 10/8.



After the install the car has lowered another 1/2 -/+ inch since these pics were taken.



happy motoring!

PS: Now selling my front pair of Eibach pro kit springs!
