where can i get tein ss?
where can i get some tein ss over the net for a good price that can fit a cl? if i have it professionally installed how much would it cost?
also, is there anything i need to know before installing them like needing some extra parts or i heard that you have to take out the stock strut?

do a search in the blackmarket forum for a guy named blkmgc (something to that effect) doing a group buy for 850 shipped.
He also has a friend located in Alhambra that will do the install for you for relatively cheap. The SS's are a spring shock combo so you'll have all the parts you need

haha tell me about it, i've put about 2K in different suspension on my car
and the 100$ is probably a local thing, alot of shops out here will do it cheaper if you know the right person. It's such a competitive market out here

Hey my impatients paid off... tonight when I came back from the library there was a package in my living room. (studying for a final tomorrow)
Anyway I took them out and they look great! Well except on one of the larger ones... I think those are the front, the top nut is missing... and on the smaller one the top black rubber thingie is missing. I'm not sure if this is a problem or not I think I can find a replacement quite easily? blxmjx would you happen to know? The ingalls fronts came too and those look good as well except one of the nuts on one of the pieces is a replacement piece I think different color and different size (overall size) threads correctly... don't think that will matter. Anyway I'm looking to get them installed sometime after the new year. Where are you located blxmjx? any a-cl discount when bringing a 6-pack?
im happy to bad I'm not going to do well on the final tomorrow.

This is what I mean by the big and the small struts.
This is the black rubber thing that is missing on one but not the other small struts.
Here is the missing nut on the larger struts
since this isn't working just look at the www
