    Coilover kit in

    OK just my input on lowering!! SUX It is not as easy as it is mentioned I had the hardest time installing my Eibach Pro Coilover kit. I started at roughly 12pm and just finished at about 12am.. WOW all I have to say is that I would have paid to have these installed.

    Fisrt the front was NUTS getting off the the FREAKING struts was a pain! The Strut bar has been stripped so I need to have it replaced and also the lower ball joint has been busted.. It was CRAZY but we got it on front looks great but I would never do this again.. I used to drive an accord and I did the coilover instal on that thing quick.. I guess that is just the nature of the BEAST!!!

    The rears were like BUTTER!!! Easy install just teadious to line it all up.. I wil snap some pics in the am But now I will have to take it to the dealer to have the passenger stut arm repaired or replaced..

    Not Hating just Venting a bit, Well I am exhausted off to bed PEACE!!!

    You're a brave man, congrats on the install.

    How does the car handle now, was it worth it from a performance point of view?
