So, finally got my Tein springs installed. It was one tough work, but was truely worth it instead of having to pay around 200 for having some mechanics do it.
I didn't take out the whole suspension. I went lazy, and only took out the structs, by unscrew the 3 nuts on the top, and unscrew the 2 screws at the bottom, and tried to angeled and shove the struct out of the wheel well. Everything was fine and dandy until the part where you have to put the structs back in. The structs were a lil bit expanded and needed to be compressed to about half an inch shorter inorder to screw in the bottom screws. Me and 2 friends, it's like assembly line. After I take out the struct, I'll pass it on to my friend, and he'll compress the spring... and then my other friend will screw the struct back together and we will all try to shove that thing into place. While we're at it, my friend helped me replaced the brake pads. It was a good tiring work out... Tein S.Tech. Front (-1.4in), Rear (-0.9in). 10am to 2pm... -------------------- |

yep. that sounds about right. 15% or so more stif than shock, you'll definately be able to tell the difference.
Ug speaking of ceilings, I was driving down the road (crappy/bumpy berkeley roads) yesterday, and noticed my head now hits the ceiling over big bumps. Ow. |
