Default Finally!

After having my car since February, I finally got around to getting the springs to lower the beast. Hoping to get it done on Sunday.

Went with the Steeda Utralites.

very nice....make sure to pay close attention when compressing the springs to remove the upper strut mount, it tends to separate and the bearings shift around and come out. I've only done one newer model so far, 2013, and no matter how careful I was, they both came apart on me. I had to pick each one of the bearings up, put them back in their place and reassemble them. All was good.

Thanks 05, I will definitely keep an eye on those bearings!
