Default Eibach Drop and Tokico Shock Kit Installed!

So I decided to install my suspension kit yesterday and did the back by myself and it took me about 45 minutes. It was extremely simple and got about 1.1-1.2 inch drop when I lowered it off the jacks. Same night I started on my fronts and took quiet a while because I had hard time getin the assembly off the old strut and I was also working by myself. It took all night from 2am-8am to get it all on and got exactly 1.5 inch drop upfront. I am extremely satisifed with the drop,cant be happier and love the stance of the car. When I tighten everything I will let you guys know how it handles. I enjoyed workin on the car and got to lern a lot a lot about suspension . I am satisfied with my mechanic skills

WARNING! If you think it will be simple puting new springs in ,you happen to be wrong . Front ones were pain in the ass I had to kick them in and one happen to shoot out and catch me in the NATS lol!!!


Im also changin my wheel bearings becasuse they're worn out and nuts are slipping. I will get pics up soon!

Clearance is 6 inches at front and about 8 inches in the rear. Sick drop man those 18s really make it look mean.
