When you put the kit on make sure you have an impact wrench or you will be kicking yourself. If I didn't have one it easily would have taken upwards of 8 hours. those spring compressors are a major pita. It's gonna look good though!
ps put me on the schedule for a detail in late may/early june.

Did you break any bolts or anything doing yours? Or strip anything? These things have a tendency of happening.
And you going to come to the cities? We won't be in Fargo after the first week of May.

I didn't strip or break anything. I must have been lucky. I had trouble with one of the top strut bolt not wanting to break free (it would turn the whole rod) but a quick 20 min soak in PB blaster loosened it up enough to go. It was actually an easier install than I thought. Next time I'm home I'm doing camber kits and compression rod bushings. that should be a bit more of a challenge.

Engine bay photo shoot in daylight. Those cell phone pics of the hoses didn't do them justice.
If you go back and look at the first pics I posted the night I threw on the hoses you'll notice the cam covers are pitted from the previous owner driving the car in the winter and getting salt on them. I used double zero steel wool and they cleaned up nicely. Just an FYI in case anyone else has that problem too.

Gotta love that new exhaust smell!!!
