Actually, you have it backwards. You preloaded the endlinks by tightening it while the car was up in the air.

What you're attempting to do is tighten it up when it's on the ground so that it's not preloaded which is the proper way.

struts = shocks and springs.

if he meant strut bar he should save gas and use the DIY

^similar drop specs...

dunno bout the spring rates tho - tein lists theirs as 3.2/179(F) and 2.3/129(R) - eibach doesn't list theirs.

Anyone have experience in cleaning SSV?

Don't have CEL on me, just a bit worry since I have a 05 with 50k+miles on it.
Installing oil catch can soon tho.
