    Lol had so many issues each strut/shock took us about 20 mins but both my sway bar links were shot so had to pick those up and my fucking upper strut mount bolt split in half while we were torquing we started at 11 finished at 430 and I had to drive a total of 40 away miles to get different parts so I could finish it today then the 40 miles back so it held us up.

    Gotta love the lowered look.

    What size tire are you running though? The sidewall looks a bit small or maybe you just need to add some air...

    Anyways, enjoy!

    Dont have seats in her right now so we just cruised around block a bit but she corners sharp and its a little rigid but comfy.

    Teins with GR2s in rear and excel Gs in front put in 2 new sway bar links upgraded the thickness a bit and she is such a peach.

    Well did you put in new struts or not I am not sure of how much it lowered I have been running around so much today I would estimate 1.7 front and about 1.2 rears but I have no weight in car right now no seats or anything and also I am on 18s not sure if you are so that may cause it to look different and my struts are getting worn in there are a lot of factors I am a 4cyl which is lighter if you got a 6cyl also
