Guess what came in the mail today!!!!

So it was my birthday yesterday.... and I shall count this as my gift! Hopefully they go on Sunday (but it might snow so who knows), but next week for sure.

Going to try to install myself and have never done it before, so this should be fun.






Thanks Performance Factory for the coilovers!

Some one on here said that the dealer wouldnt do the alignment because it was too low... I dont remember where that was though...


So... when is everyone putting theres on?

I hope I can put mine on sunday. Not gonna do a DIY, because its too cold to stop and take pictures. Plus, I have never done this before, so I hope its straight forward.

it should be pretty straight forward..


when we put my springs on the front, on the first side we unbolted the a-arm and let it hang down, then realized you don't have to on this car... there is a black bracket at the bottom of the strut.. unbolt that and it should give you enough room to get the strut/spring out

you'll probably need to drill a hole bigger in the rear to pass the extender through

other than that, should be easy
