These are my Birthday,Christmas, Anniversary and all other holidays combined this year present with some more money put toward them. I did the installation by myself over the past 2 day, the front on Sunday and the rears yesterday. I so badly need a Air compressor and Impact tools as my arms got a work out! This was a tough job and I now understand why they are expensive to have LG Motor Sports install them. I kept the the factory setting from LG witch is 1" lower than stock. I also left the spring pre-load at factory settings as well until I get a better feel and understanding. After all my measurements this was pretty dead on. I have a lot to still figure out. I burned almost a half a tank testing them out today and I installed them with a full tank of gas Thanks to Toque Tutorial. (http://mysite.verizon.net/res0aae8/coilover.html). I scrap the front Spolier/Airdam a few times on Dips and my Driveway but this is expected the lower you go. The ride is a Hugh improvement to me and cornering is so much better and stable.:yesnod: I'm very happy with them so far and I have not even dialed them in. My alignment drives straight but I'm sure I need to get a new 4 wheel aliment as soon as possible, just waiting until I get them exactly the way I them.

Rear still looks a bit to High to me but She still is settling...

I don't see why they would charge so much to install. We didn't have any problems installing Kevins with just hand tools. But we did have 4 guys doing the wrenching. :D
Well no problems unless you count the lugnut incident. :rofl:
Those are definately on my must do one day list.

We also installed PFADT sway bars at the same time. It helps to have good friends. :seeya:

BTW: I have my dampening set to 8 front - 7 rear. I also added spring preload but I understand they are shipping at my spring settings now.

Oh yeah, those big, fat, meaty, don't take the end links off bars. :lolsmile:

I don't mean to sound like an asshole or anything; however your car just doesn't look right with those giant C6Z wheels. You might want to invest in some fender flares. JMHO...Nice write up though and I'm glad you like the coilovers...
