ill post some pics of the cond of the rear struts today after i get them from jaybirds lol. running into problems it only took us wut 5 hours ?? pretty good.

 

[IRingTwyce]

Now I can see the rear drop. Much better.

 

[TRicker]

looks good man. it'll settle a little bit in the front yet, any time i took them out it took a day or so of driving for them to fully settle again.....

 

[alwayssideways]

What springs did you use?

 

[greasemonkey1489]

My guess is the Eibach Pro Kit based on the subtle drop. Lightly wetsand that fender and the bumper with 1000-1500 grit then buff out with some polishing compound. It will have a similar gloss look as the rest of your car

ya, sounds right lol. as for the paint it needs a whole new paint job so im gonna jusr sand it all down and repaint it myself

Question for you - how hard was it to do the rear springs? I'm pretty sure both of my rears are broken and I've got a set to replace them, just wondering what I'll be getting myself into...

all the springs are easy to replace if you have spring compressors and dont break the pinch bolts off.

its three bolts to get each rear out

and four for the front. super easy. i can literally get my rear springs out in two minutes apiece.

They all come out easy (usually), but the rears are definitely the easier set to install.

Let me know when you are in town so I can get those upper mounts from ya - I'm guessing I rent the spring compressor and it should be self explanatory from there?

[KyleQ]

Good - maybe I'll get to it after I swap an alternator ;(

 

[TourEnvy]

Could you share which bolts are necessary to remove for the front and back?

 

[SVTWHAT]

for the rear its four bolts each side, swaybar end link nut, size 15 mm, spindle pinch bolt, size 18 mm, and two 10 mm bolts that hold in the strut mount.
for the front its the two bracket bolts on the strut, size 15 mm nut and 14mm on the other side, spindle pinch nut, size 18mm, tierod end nut size 15mm and strut top bolt size 18 mm.

said in the order to be removed, imo.
