 guess what my girlfriend got me!  I'm leaving tomorrow for a couple days vacation, I'll post pics of the install when I get back. I still need to get the spring insulators and the bump rubbers. also considering buying a spring compressor if they're not too expensive.

I got 3 corners done yesterday. I was post-poned on the 4th because the box didn't include the nut and the big one that you use a pipe wrench on, and the stock one doesn't fit anymore, even if you pop out that bearing thing, so I guess I'm forced to buy another cartridge, but the store that would carry it was closed yesterday so I'm going today. pics to come soon.
