damn did u cut the bolt off? atleast u have some nice new shocks and wont have to worry too much about it. still a major pain...i stripped one of my oem shocks with the allen key when replacing it, what a b*tch that was[:@]

 

yep with a dremel took and alot of banging with a wedge and hammer. i got home at 11:30 and started working on my car. its 1:40 now and im really tired. i got pissed off when i spent about 45 mins trying to get the lca screw to line back up. i have it through the hole but i cant get it to start in the threads. i tried alot of stuff and it got the best of me so tomorrow, i should be able to get it with a helping hand. so yea, i have it all on just need to get that one screw back on....

word!

yeah, you'll need to raise it back up in a couple days.

Did you cut the bump stops in half? I can't really tell.

Also, you might need to trim the dust boot a little more too. They'll bottom out on the threaded sleeve if you go too low!

 

yea the back is already saggin. and yes i cut the bumpstops in half.well thanks for all your help EVERYBODY!!!

 

looks awesome man.

 

no problem! hope I helped!

did you find a good alignment shop?

 

havent had time to look for one yet but i think i know of a place. im going to call sometime when i am free.

 

Looks killer. I love the paint on that car. Glad you finally got it done? I hate finishing projects because then you just want to do another one. My car is a money *****.
