    Default so fucking hard to put shocks and struts...

    its so fucking hard to put shock and struts into a car with normal jacks jackstands and wrenches especially the rear ones. but in the end it was totally worth it. gonna post up pics after we wake up tomorrow. it took us around 4 or 5 hours to do all of it.

    we took turns at 70 where we would go around 30 and had no problem at all. also have major camber issues so gonna go to mahdavi tomorrow to get it done.

    that is all.....

    struts with springs already on them is mechanically easy to put on but it was hard trying to get them out and new ones in without taking out the brake rotors which we didnt do

    We owned up on your suspension. Got rid of that old shit and now the car looks and drives better. Go us.

    BTW, we didnt have any previous knowledge of how to do this and it was still not that hard except for fitting the damn things into such a small space. Honestly if you have any sort of mecahnical skills you can do this yourself.

    if it was connected to the shocks and springs it was removed and replaced except for that front wishbone type piece. also got a camber kit on the front (thanks mahdavi).
