Eibach & KYB Install complete!!!

I will be changing by sig later on today after I wash my car. I finally got my car lowered and Believe me there is a huge change. After replacing my struts I realize that my old ones were completely blown. So I'm good now.

Oh yeah, no doubt. Matt might be living in Houston, but he's from Tulsa. I've got to support him. We've got an understanding.

How long did it take you to replace the springs/struts? I need new struts on my Max, and am interested in your experiences during this job. I would just be replacing the original struts with Tokicos and using the stock springs. Thanks.

So I noticed that you probably can't turn the wheels no more than about 20 degrees either way. Funny as hell though

You need to get some clear corners. Other than that good job.

Nice dude... looks mint. After having mine dropped so uncomfortably low, your drop looks more than reasonable ...

I think I noticed that there's a bit of a difference between the Eibach/KYB GR2 and Eibach/Tokico setup... the Tokicos seem to sit the chassis higher (not as much damping force...)

anyone else noticed this?
