Hey Dvs - do a before-and-after pic for us. Take the shot from the same angle/same distance so we can see the difference. Thxs

I can walk you through the process. Do you have a spring compresser? If not, I'm sure Serpentkiller would love to tell you how to do it without a spring compresser.

P.S. I don't recommend doing the job unless you have a spring compresser.

Yes we will have a spring compresser. We will be taking the car to a local hobby shop to work on the car.

Has anyone just installed the fronts to see how the car sits? Even after the complete install (front and rear), the car is still lower in the back.

I'm just wondering whether or not installing the fronts only would help even out our cars.

I had installed them on both ends and I found that the back gap was smaller then the front. I put the stock spring back in and it even out the gaps. You will find that the car will have a slight tilt forward, which was OK with me.

How's the ride? I would assume that it shouldn't have suffered too much. I'm thinking of doing the same. We'll see.

Thanks
