I really like my depo ecodes and the new ones are d2s and have the same openings for the ballasts so you could direct swap your good quality hid's into them

my avant needs a new engine and hasn't been running for like two months. feelsbadman
Ya i'll probably keep them for a bit to see if some used ecodes pop up. Sorry to hear bout your avant man

Replaced the front and rear shocks, brakes all around and hoses, and changed out all of the components associated with the crankcase rebreather system.

I left mine at home cause it's been overheating and in the last 5 days I changed out the thermostat, waterpump, timing belt, v-belt, fan clutch, and radiator fluid and it's still overheating.

I took out my control arms and am changing out my struts, but am having trouble getting them back in any suggestions?

You have shocks all around.
Front or rear? Front should go in fairly easily, using a large screwdriver or prybar to align the lower mount (attach the uppers first).
Rear I've found to just use spring compressors to keep the shock assembly compact. Press down on the lower control arm and slide the shock assembly in bottom first being careful not to trash your fender.

oh, sorry shocks im still new to this, but any way, its on the front and i changed out my shock tower, and on the lower connection to the front CA i can get the bolt through one side, but cant get the other side high enough.

And finished the evening chasing my tire down the street after it fell of my car while I was seating the brakes. Tomorrow, I install studs and toss the bolt ins.
