OMG I feel like whoever thought it would be a good idea to connect the end links to the strut with an Allen bolt and nut was bottle fed as a child. That was thoroughly difficult to remove. Then again I can see why, cuz those do not want to go anywhere!
 
This is as far as I got today. Started getting pretty windy and cool and its gunna rain soon.

Im hoping they settle in the front a bit cuz I kinda want it a bit lower but still pleased with the look!
 
Because you will scrape, front already looks perfect.:thumbsup:
 
BTW what spring rates did you get?

I didn't order custom rates so i think they're 8k front and 6k rear. I still have about an inch and a half drop available before the fronts are maxed.

Also there's about two fingers wheel gap right now
 
Wow, what a difference. :bowdownsit: Your car is my new favorite.
The front looks to be a little lower than the rear. I'm no expert, but I'll share my opinion. :D...I' agree with Mike, front looks great, but I might go another 1/2 " lower. Should clear fine. You'll just have make sure it doesn't rub in the front when turning tightly. I'd certainly go at least another 1.5 " in the rear. (Of course that is taking the settling into account.)
Just my 2 cents.

Well I will definitely be going lower in the rear cuz I haven't installed the rear yet hahahaha. Had to call it quits due to weather and cramping lol. Will be doing the rear in the morning followed by a wash and hopefully an alignment. Then ROTM photo shoot time.

And thanks Pauly!! Can't wait to see/ feel the difference in ride quality!
 
Alright. Rear coils installed.

This one is right after lowering it back to the ground

And this is the settled pic

This is too low for me. I want to go up 1-1.5" in the back. Will I need to take everything apart again? Or can I just adjust the spring height while everything is still attached?

Yes you can change the ride height while everything is attached. Your rear is lower than front.....:confused:

I was eyeballing the height before install. And it looked to be alright. After thw rear install it was a little low for me then way too low in the back after it settled. It started raining as I was finishing the passenger side install so i wrapped it up after that. Everything is on the car now just need to tweak it. Maybe if the weather improves later this afternoon I can raise the front. Can i raise the frot while everything is attached too?

Also, will I need to reset preload on the rear shocks if I raise it? Or should it be good?
