    If your talkin about the pic where we were trying to get the nut loose with the air gun its because it ended up stripping out. That thing was the biggest pain in the ass. I still havnt gotten it broken loose.

    Yeah, I have the series 4 coilovers. My front passenger strut is noisy. Oh, and the only way you are going to get that nut loose is that air gun because I bent three allen wrenches doing mine. The back struts are MUCH easier to install!

    ***Update***

    Got the nuts off today with a fuckin 3ft pipe wrech and a big ratchet. We needed something to hold the thing still cause the air gun would just move the whole thing.

    So we got the fronts installed with a couple minor hiccups like having to raise them once you realize your car is sitting on the damn tire. We are gonna do the rears tomorrow cause we ran outta daylight plus my buddies place we were at had his son inside so I didnt wanna tie him up too much.

    Overall they feel great but Im getting alot of rub on the driverside on right hand turns. Ill figure that out tomorrow.
