Thanks for the tips guys, now I just need a day off.

I dont know if anyone else has this issue but something to consider. After the install im not sure if you have a camber kit or if you plan on going low but even after alignment i have been chewing up tires like crazy.

I'm just planning to drop enough to cover the gaps, on stock 17's, since I'm still saving for wheels. I'm thinking that should be fine tire wise. I'm in need of new tires anyways.

and dont let douche bags do it either, i remember when my friend let this shop do the installs on his coilovers, those idiots adjusted both the rears all the way UP, meaning when the wheels were on; the rear end was literally on the floor.
