Default Did my springs on friday... no pics yet

Well, I bought some used Eibach Pro-Kit springs on craigslist this past week and decided to put them in myself... holy ****... that was a hard friggin install. Not only did I not have power tools (which would have made this easier than pie) but I did it in the sun, so now my neck is burnt to ****. But I love the way that she handles now... now when I take turns it doesn't feel like I'm going to slide off the road. Well worth the money... I would say that if you want a lowered look you're going to need to go lower than the Pro-Kit. But if you just want a normal gap (no rock-crawling) I think the Pro-Kit looks fine.

That rear bolt on the trailing arm sux, dosen't it. Front is still easy as pie even thought the rears are to be simple.

Oh, that's i good way. I prefer one bolt to the two. Then i had to deal with the bushings in the control arm spinning. Pain in the ***. Spring compressors are a pain for me. Never seem to work right.
