Default Installing my struts and springs (update pics 4-19-07)

Well today is the day I put on my new suspension on. We got the front off so far and just compressed the springs. I got a few shots and I'm gonna post up some before and after shots. I can't wait to take the twisties after this.
S-techs and blues.

LOL yah thats my dad helping me sitting on the booster step. Well the fronts are done and it's on to the backs. BTW our gehtto compressor worked fine but I would use a real spring compressor...

I think I posted before that my front struts were busted and bled out..... Heres my little bro Daniel who frowns upon this pointing out the struts completely compressed and not coming back out. He's a little motor head already.

Yah I'm posting some before and afters, the reason there dirty is because i bought them from somone I know personally and they were only on his car for 1500 miles. I am suprised how much they lowered the car in the front. Oh yah and Honda's lean? Or at least I read on here once they did is it the front pass side that leans a little?
