Default S.tech's Installed with pictures

Hey guys I installed my S.techs yesterday. It went really smooth, considering I installed some Gr2 and H&R OE sport springs about 3 months ago. The nice thing about the S.techs is that I didn't need a spring compressor to put them on. Here are some pictures from today after a bath.

what? no spring compressor needed..... WTF mine was a huge PITA to get compressed enough to secure the tophats!!!!!

but anyways nice ride. only thing id add is a nice exhaust tip. nothing to large. just some nice stainless steel double walled tip.

yeah there was just enough thread to get the damper nut started then just tightened down from there. Did you notice the s.techs were shorter than the stock springs?

That's weird I don't know why mine were like that. I got the springs off ebay with a seller with really good reviews and a 100% guarantee they were real. Plus when I got em I checked everyhting out comparing them to the fake ones. I have a little over a finger gap all around plus they ride just like stock
