installed them over the weekend. i used ryan's step-by-step on this. it went pretty well. the only thing i would add is if you do not have an impact gun (which i don't) make sure you have a breaker bar with an extension for the struts. i broke two socket wrenches trying to get them off. i also did not remove the strut entirely from the top either, just moved it to the side to get the spring out. the rear springs took 15mins a piece to swap out, im surprised they dont just fall out during normal driving. dont take it to a shop to do, you'll spend around $300. Anyway, the look was much better than i hoped for. i did the drivers side first (front and back) and looked at the difference, it was perfect. before i bought the pro-kit i looked at everyone's pics of their drops and thought that i needed a 2" drop. 1.5" is perfect. i will post good pics over this weekend. in the meantime here is a crappy pic, its actually 3 pics mashed into one...by the way i did get the camber bolts but have had them put in yet..
