This is what I have for now, it started raining so I had to hold off on the rest of the install.

I would like to know more about the install process. I figure myself as a intermediate level diy'er but this may seem a bit much. i've replaced engine n tranny mounts and 02 sensors but im not sure if i wanna try and tackle this one in the spring.

That **** looks like pretty good quality though, doesnt look cheap. I would like to hear reviews after winter and see how they hold up for people

Install process is easy. I am no mechanic, just a student who likes cars. Most of the specialty tools you need can be rented from advanced auto parts. I will have a full review once they are on and I have been driving on them.

Alright guys, I got these installed yesterday. Installing the coils was simple. There was no modifications needed for the install of the coils. I followed the diy here, however I did not do any of the modifications that he did to the coils in this diy because there was no need.

Driving impressions

I have the coils cranked down pretty low(18 threads left in the front and 9 threads left in the rear). The ride is adequate. Coming from Neuspeed race springs on stock sport shocks the ride is definitely better, however it is still quite stiff which is expected when you are as low as I am. I had the coils raised up when I first installed them and they were much smoother, however I did not want to drive around 4x4 status.

Here are some pictures I took during/after the install. I will have more pictures once I get my other rims on next week and get rid of these steel rims.

"Update:
Rears ride like poop all the way down. pretty dissatisfied.. and still not very low.. "

"sadly that is the rear slammed.
front is 1.25 threads left. "

Just keeping every one posted on whats going on with the coils.(not mine)
car does look good though...
