do you get your monkey drunk?

Looks good man, I have some 5Zigens in my L sedan, and it handles awesome with them. Mine lowered about 2" in the back and about 3" in the front when it finally settled.

Haven't had any problems with the muffler being too low. So you say it will eventually lower my car alot more right? That is exactly what im looking for. Can you post pics of your car after the springs settled? Thanks -Ben

Did you put them on yourself or did you have a shop do it?

Default PITA!!!

I did it myself... Well actually a friend helped me. Used a dremel to cut the brake line bracket so I could get the line out. Took about 3 hours with many breaks and bull****ting around.

Yeah, same with me. Me and ^jynx^ put in our springs, neither of us had ever done it before so it took about 8 hours for both cars, about 6 for his and 2 for mine. After we did his, mine went much quicker. We used a dremel too. One of mine, the front right makes a little noise, so I think I just have to turn it a bit, but other than that they are great. With the springs and my kuhmo's, my car handles like its on rails. No rubbing either.

Lookin good. I'm probably putting mine in this weekend along with the Ver. 5 struts. Finally. Do you have any side shots? Did you use a spring compressor? There's 3 bolts at the top of the strut, two at the bottom, and one holding the assembly together right? How hard was it to loosen the back top bolts? Later.

The back top bolts arent too bad. For 2 of them you can use a ratchet with a 12mm deep socket, and the 3rd you will have to use a 12mm open ended wrench. Make sure you dont try and do this by yourself... its a 2 man job. Also, pay attention to how the strut is assembled cuz you have to line it back up just right.
