    while i do admire someone that actually lowers the car, i feel like you picked the wrong strut for the job.

    Yes, you have made your opinion on Monroe's very clear in all the thread. I just want a stockish ride, so they will work just fine for me.

    By the weekend, for sure.



    Windows retinted in the second pic? They look darker.
    Nope, just different clouds and angle.

    I wish I could have them that dark. The po-po around here don't like dark tint.



    .. How haven't you driven it yet?.. I had my car on the road two seconds after my install was done!
    Buddy here at work did the install last night. I took his ride home. He got to work after I had already started, so I have to wait for lunch to try it out. Try working under those conditions. LOL

    Good to hear. I did a lot of research also, and this isn't my first lowered vehicle, so I'm pretty confident that I have a good set-up.

    Ok, fair enough. Once you get the chance to take it for a spin lets hear what you think!

    Ok, went for a spin. Not to many twisty roads here by work, but the few that I could find, she handled WAY better than with the worn out coils and struts. The ride is good too. You can feel that she is lowered, but not to jarring or rough.

    Over all, I give it .

    One more picture to hold you over until the weekend, where I will use my good camera and get some better shots.....
