    Yeah but make sure you cut the rubber bump stops at the top, though i dont really think youll need to since your not "slammed," so nvm. Cause if you didnt and you were really low the strut would be sitting on those rubber bump stops and you wouldent be fully low like Press was, maybe thats why mackman is so high?

    But it still looks so high! Maybe you did something wrong? It should be pretty slammed on those wheels.

    The only time you NEED a spring compressor is to put the stock springs back on.

    can you see a shiny shock exposed yes or no?

    an geez, calm down on the spring compressor, all you basically do is run into autozone, leave a $50 deposit, bring it back and you get all your money back....its not like he wasted money unless he drove to the other side of town to get it...

    You won't be able to see shiny shock exposed when it is compressed by the weight of the car. :rolleyes:

    I can't calm down more than I am already calm lol. But it's a ton of hard work to use those things, yeah obviously it doesn't cost you any money, but it's sure inconvenient to have to go to the store twice.

    At least half of the time it takes me to do suspension is using those darned compressors.

    I put the spring compressors on my BMW front when taking them out and they shot up. Scared the fuck out of me and made a mess lol

    I'm glad I own a set of spring compressors.
    The front looks too high for teins.

    Yeah, everyone switches the front end lol.

    I agree, get a real front lip! They are cheap enough, and with a full lip, it will hold the bumper together for an easy fix.

    I like the pics, the drop is more obvious not. Looks like and even! The color really pops as well.

    Not really, because then you'll have smaller tires. It already looks like your tires are small enough. Are you sure you have the proper sized tires for the car?
