Well, here she is with the newly installed clearcorners (thanks courtesy nissan!) and cattman coilovers. She is looooooowwwwww. I haven't decided if I'm going to raise it up a little or not, I kinda like the look now, and it took us forever to get it level so I'm not eager to mess with it... Sorry, the lighting wasn't too great this morning...

i think its a nice height (for now)..if you plan on getting a body kit you may want to raise it would suck to hit a decent dip and have the front lip ripped off

That look great Chad! (more)

Watch out for those cigarette butts I installed mine in my downstairs garage which has no driveway. I left it real low in the front, and wound up plowing the lawn driving back up... oh well it needed aerating anyway.

Heya Eman


Let me ask you, how did you tighten the nuts on top of the strut/shock assembly? When I first drove off there was a horrible clunking sound, and we realized that we didn't tighten down those nuts on the front. The problem we ran into is that on both the front and rear, tightening the nuts just caused the piston to spin inside the shock. So I couldn't get it very tight at all on the front. On the rear I used some vice grips to grab the top above the nut but on the front there aren't any of those. I still here a very muted clunk from the left front when I hit bumps, so I think it needs tightened more but I don't have the slightest clue how to do it...
