*pics* Hell froze over...cause my car is dropped

So I decided to do it myself today and the install went awesome! The fronts were super easy and took no time to burn through. The rear was a PAIN in the ASS to do. I had to take apart a whole bunch of stuff to make room for the shock, but all in all, it wasn't that bad and I'm not 225 dollars poorer. So anyways, thanks to everyone on here that encouraged me to do it myself, and thanks to my friends Matt and Will (msdosp1mp on the boards) for helping me out. In terms of the ride, it rides almost like factory, even though they're Neuspeeds/Tokicos, but I'm not going to ramble anymore. PICS!



The springs in the package



Out of the package



Stock front



The gap



Front finished



Rear finished

Anyways, those are some of the better pics I have. The car is NOT a stock color, but I'll be posting pics of that in a while

Thanks to all who helped or chimed in.

I started at 2 in the afternoon. By 3:30, I was done with the fronts. Then the rears fucked me over for a variety of reasons, so I took a lunch break and went out to sonic with some friends. Then it was back to work, with a few breaks, and I was done by around 8. So all in all, 6 hours with no experience and a few breaks including lunch.
