Well it took me a while, maybe 5 hours, but they're in. May i suggest that anyone doing this with the small spring compressor available at sears you also use air tools. Because cranking that thing with hand tools is a b*tch. That was by far the longest part of the install. Oh and a big thank you to housecor for the nice writeup on his site. And now the pics...

Sorry about the after pics, it was kinda dark when i was done. I'll try to get some better ones tomorrow in the day light. Overall i'm happy with the performance aspect of the setup. I was able to really push it on my short test drive but it is definitely an improvement over the old, crappy stock setup. Hopefully the front will settle a little more because it's still a little higher than i would like.

Later,

Eric

Give your springs a week or two. They will settle and will be slightly lower than now.

Don't worry, they'll settle - but already, a nice improvement. Glad the how-to was helpful! Anything you found unclear? Good work.
