Looks good!

(Get a jack stand under there... especially when working on a part where there is a lot of yanking and possible movement of the car... and when your head is in the wheel well... I'd change the wheels without a stand (and throw some wheels underneath just in case the car does fall, it will be caught by the wheels), but never anything more. Just my )

Understandable. School is much more important.

Nice man!

I went the same route with TEIN S-Tech / stock struts.

You can drive on those struts for about 20 - 30,000 miles before the ride gets rough.

Basically, those springs are going to destroy the struts and you're going to have a very bouncy and jolting ride.

When you get the chance, get some Tokico Blues. You get almost the same drop (about .25" higher) and the ride is much more comfortable.

Exelerate ships them for about $300.

Car looks awesome man!

i think the spring and dust boot are supposed to line up with the perch on the shocks...there's a step up on the perch that the spring stops and the dust perch that all lines up nicely. just a heads up on that. looks great though.
