lowered my car.........somewhat
This is more like a rant, I just turned 29 and I went to lower my car today. OH man, my body does not like me working on my car. I took foreveerrrrr. I used to finish the whole car in 3 hours or less but it took me 2.5 hours just to do the two front! Now I have to spend my friday evening after work to finish the rest. On a bright note, my car looks siiiiick, in the front at least.

It happens. Especially if the bolts are rusted and aligning the bolt and shock is annoying. When I did mine it took almost 2.5 hours to 3 no air tools and lift.
Now everytime I do it, I have a friend to help me get it started on one side.
Definately post pics after it is all done.

the back is the worst, you gotta take the seats out, take everything out, and then the bolt long bolt connecting the bottom of the strut. are you changing the struts too? be careful not to break the bolt, mine broke in the plate. I'm still riding with no rear driver side stabilizer for now lol. and the bolts were all rusty. And then had to jam the strut back into place, def need 2 people I think. good luck and have fun

I would ask for help, cause I have a lot of car buddies, but I like to say I work on my car 100%. Oh yea, I got the Eibach sportlines. Theres no wheel gap in the front on my Aspecs, 40 series tires. Low but sick as hell

Dumb question but can you just replace the springs or do you need the whole coilover kit / spring and strut

I would do everything in this order
get spring and struts, camber kit for the rear (adjustable arms)
get alignment after you install, and then maybe get nice tires, you get what you pay for. altogether I think I spent a grand, 500 tein stechs + tokico blues, 170 for ingalls rear camber kit, and 400 for 4 Potenza's g019. I got them for that price including install because my cousin works at firestone, get the special friend discount. 135 each tire retail not including install, mount balance, stems.
