strut and spring day - all done

just got done doing the springs and struts today with no major hang ups. went with the KYB GR-2's and maxspeed springs - went out for a ride and was blown away with the difference in handling. life is good.

Grats, wrong section however. Might be getting flamed by people who have nothing but negative things to say. GL with the suspension!

that answer it? yes it does - now i just have to watch out for the rocks coming up and down the moutain - takes some getting used to not trying to scrape the front end though.

How much do the maxspeed spring lower the car?
I went with KYB Gr-2's and Progress springs. I did it this past weekend and I love the feel. My only complaint is the rear makes alot of noise on most bumps. Other than that it is SWEEEEEEET!!!

Nice, aren't the GR2's the more aggressive shocks/struts?

They are pretty agressive IMHO. I like them. Not as bad as I thought they might be.
