Installed my Illuminas =)

I have them set on 4/4. I forgot how the KYB's were when they weren't blown but I'm satisfied.

The only problem is that the car pulls to the left. Should I get an alignment?

yessir. it is advised to get one whenever you mess with suspension that much. when removing wheels, don't bother, but when loosening struts, probably yes.

Mine pulled to the left after I messed with taking off a strut, if you haven't had one in a while or one since you have been lowered just go ahead and get one, it took a couple months but it stopped pullling by itself.

just go to NTB and tell them that you have the one year alignment plan. If you've ever been there before and you name is in the system 9 out of 10 times they won't check.

but if not the one year plan is $100. I have used it 4 or 5 times so it's worth it.

yeah, i just intalled illumina kit from custom maxima and it pulls right a little, not bad for replacing all struts/shocks and springs. alignment usually necessary. i put new struts and springs on my volvo 850turbo and took it to get alignment and they couldnt believe i did it myself. they barely touched it. i guess i just got lucky that time.
