Got two questions here.

OK I installed my front and rear clears and the front ones are tight but the rear ones are kinda loose. I haven't sealed them with silicon yet so hopefully that would cure it if not what else could I do. Next I am saving my money for complete coilovers my question is are the cattman coilovers worth it or should I wait for the JIC coilovers. Here's the JIC website. http://www.jic-magic.com/suspindex/suspindex.html there coilovers are coming soon.
JIC coilovers.

For the rear clears, I put some electrical tape on the tabs that are on the car (the part that the lights snap onto). I just took little pieces and wrapped them around. It still holds after 8 months.

Are all the differnet brands of clears not fitted perfectly? Which ones did you get? I want an OEM fit, not something I have to use tape on.

Thanks,

Tony

Also I am going to lower my car for now and when I get enough money for coilovers I will sell them. I am thinking of H&R's.
