Oh noes! I rubbed one out

Koni are now on the car. And I rub the drivers side rear like a bunch of 13yr olds watching scrambled ****. Hope an alignment will fix that. Either way hope to be picking up a fender roller this weekend.

Besides that. Koni are on full stiff atm. Feels like there is NO suspension on the car at all. Flinstones eat your heart out.

Ill post pictures tomorrow. Got side tracked with driving around town making sure nothing rattled its way loose on me.

I need to figure out a alignment spec now so I can try to prevent from stuffing my tire into my fender.

Sweet. I've been curious how these compare to my Tein Basic. I've heard they're a bit better but I'm not sure if it's worth it to upgrade. Which springs are you using?

Tein S Techs. After I get the alignment ill take another good side picture. And shift through all my old pictures for a compare view. But its def like half inch lower in the rear. The stance is looking epic pro. Im happy. The ride is a tad rough. But I thought the ride was pretty firm when I bought the car. Than it felt like I'm on a boat! Now its great. Still taking it easy for another day or two. Than ripping wheels back off and checking to make sure everything still bolted up nice and snug, nothing is binding or rubbing.

Hour to drop the suspension out on all 4 wheels. Than maybe 5-6 more hours of scratching my head trying to figure stuff out. Now that I know what im doing I can cut that time well in half. Pulling the suspension out and putting it back in is the easy part. Trying to figure out how the instructions go with poorly drawn ones was the **** block.

If someone else got the same setup and wanted me to install it I could do it at a max of 4 hours. Granted you help pull out the rear carpet and maybe your strut bar. Better do it on a sat instead like I did start at 7pm at night. No more of that ****.
