Hey y'all, i just purchased TEIN SS Coilovers this weekend and i installed them. Er... i have been installing them. haha. The front 2 went in easy breezy. But then i got to the back and....ARG!. The end links on the sway bar.. would not come out on the driver's side and i ended up cutting it off with a dremel becuase i got SOO frustrated and ordered a new ST185 set. So i got that one in, and today i try to work on my passenger side, and the end link comes off easy on that one, but ofcourse nothing can go smoothly. I can't break loose the bottom of 2 bolts to get the suspension out. I'm also running into another problem once i get that loose, idk if my suspension will slide out because the way i have my exhuast routed. My exhuast is holding all my brake components up so i might not be able to drop it low enough and out of the way for the shock to come out but idk yet. I would keep trying, but i broke my 19mm impact sock BY HAND. I had the impact socket on a breaker bar, and i cracked the socket in 6 places. Oh yes, im so strong haha.

Oh but another thing i found out that my wheels are too wide for the rear coils to be on their lowest setting. If i have the coils all the way down, the wheel will rub. I need to either get spacers or new rims with different offsets. Right now my car sits higher than my previous coilover set up in the rear. But much lower in the front smile.gif. I'm done with suspension for the day haha.
