That is tight man!! I'm not putting mine on until after I move back to NC next week. Springs would suck on Michigan roads!!!! Like that alot though, it's really clean!

Isn't the drop going to be more tho since the rear isn't on? The car is more on its nose now because the back still has the higher stock springs. Once you install the rear it should level out.

I have them sitting in a box to be installed. Do you have access to a spring compressor? If not how did you do it??

for safety reasons, i'm sure everyone would recommend a spring compressor... but there really isn't too much pressure on the spring cap. Just lie the whole unit on its side and twist away but make sure that nothing is in the way. One site said it went a couple feet but i'm only moved a few inches.

Also, you should really think about getting some sort of bar for more leverage because those bolts are on there really tight... other than that, its a simple install.

i got mine fixed three days ago... the springs are rather 'thinner' than the ori's, dont you think so. anyway, the ride was fine on the first day till it settled down a day or two later and its slightly bumpier. Removed a ring from the bump stopper. I've got approx. 1 finger plus gap between tires and wheel arch in front and almost none at the rear and it makes my car looks squatting down... hmm... nevertheless, it certainly looks much nicer..... and now for my rims!!!! still cant find CE28N~!!! Guess i'll have to stick with my 18" TE37....

need some feedback here....

is it much bumpier running on 18" rather than 17"? my friend told me that he scraped the inner plastic cover (inner wheel arch thingie) and had to change it numerous times till he opted back for 17"... and he had mentioned that the ride was so much better....
