Default Well yet another surprise

Ok! So i got my parts from Brenspeedso nowmy rear end is in the shop. An i was looking to see what all im changing on my car while its all apart an for future mods.So i decided to go with a a MM torque bar and panhard set up and eventualya coil over set up. Butam getting eibach springs MM lower control arms with height adjusterssoon. So i was cleaning my old springs and i notices that they are kinda new, hmmm! So i start look and WTF! Now i know why i was have major rubbing issues. There eibach sport lines they had nuckel busters in them to lift the car, so i think im going to put stock springs back in till i get the others ones. Now i have to go clean the fronts and see what they are!
