its been a couple months waiting to get lowered.. the time has come
got some packages the past 2 days
hopefully i can get them installed soon
-----
3/20/
alright so i tried getting my coilovers installed today with the help of my buddy. it was already 7 so i was kinda being optimistic about getting them done by midnight. turns out there was a few things i overlooked lol. so we only got the fronts done, just need to do some fine tuning because im rubbing inside the wheel well.
install will resume on sunday since ill be having family over on saturday.
**note** me and my friend noticed that the way the coilovers came, they are pretty much slammed. so be prepared to do a lot of adjustments.
stock gap
rear but never got to it
passenger side out/in
no more gap, but im tucked in with some rubbing
lowered front, high rear (doggy style lol)
-----
3/22
alright guys so what i did today was just fine tune the fronts so i can somewhat drive it. i will be doing the rears tomorrow. the fronts are pretty much tucked and flushed but i might need to raise it slightly higher because it sounded like the tires rubbed a tad bit. as far as i know, i couldnt fit my finger in there lol so its kind of a 1/2 finger gap
-----
3/23
so today i got the rear coilovers in and must admit, they were much easier than the fronts. ill let the pictures speak for themselves but i do have to adjust the fronts again. its clear when its not loaded with more weight, but when i did my test drive, kept hearing constant rubbing on the front coils (driver and passenger sides.) so far im liking them, they are slightly stiffer than stock but i like it. havent taken hard corners yet cause the fronts scare me when the rubbing lol.
rears
the nut that was a bitch to screw back in

Shouldn't be hard for him to do himself. He's just gotta know how to access the rear upper shock mount bolts and he's golden. Speaking of which, I think that should be included in the DIY. The sedan wasn't in there when I looked.
