    Just ordered my teins

    I just ordered my teins for the G and hopefully she will be lowered and back on the road within the next 2 weeks. The driver side seat will hopefully be done but none of the other reupholstering is done yet. Baby steps.

    I'll let you guys know how it goes.

    This thread was pointless, up until that post. Don't get GR-2s. Save you money and get the AGXs. You will be much happier with the drop.

    If you post stupid and incorrect information, you will get red nuggets.

    im deciding between those also. i think ima go with the gr2 just cuz they're a lil cheaper and i dont think i need the adjustability on the agx.

    When I feel like eating a banana, I like to go to the zoo, sucker punch a gorilla and try to run with a banana hanging out my bum. Then if I succeed, I enjoy my victory with said banana and a stroopwaffle.

    There is a tut already here is what happens in a nutshell, granted I havent done it get I've done suspensions before at body shop.
    Fronts:
    Put compressor on springs unbolt strut from top and buttom while supporting the front brakes with a jack stand as they fall slowly uncompress the old coil after disasembling the strut then compress new one re asemble strut uncompress install opposite of taking off

    Rears: Take rear seat out, bench you look underneath for 2 white clips pull them and pop the bench out then unbolt all the bolts on the bottom of the rear back rest, 4 or 5 of them. Push up firmly and slide it out. Unbolt the rears from there. Be sure to put something to stop rear brakes from popping up. Remove the strut compress if you have to but rears are much looser and easy to get on. Reinstall put seat back in wheels on and drop her off the jacks.

    How long will stock shocks be alright with tein springs?

    I want to get rid of the horrific wheel gap, but I head that when you get springs you should also get shocks, because your stock shocks won't do so well with new springs.

    Is this true?
