Best thing is to use a hose clamp to secure the wire clamp into the strut housing. Using a tie strap as I once used allows too much movement over time and a broken abs wire=$$$$$$$$$$$.

Ok, all wrapped up now.

needs an alignment bad. I am going to go to the wheel place today and look for some 20's and make an appointment for the alignment.

when i first dropped the car to the ground the back was sitting where you see here a nice 2 inch drop or so. the front was sitting at stock height so i had to make some major droppage happen there is so much adjustment in these JIC's its amazing.

ok so for first impressions:
front seemed like it was going to be way too stiff just by pusing on the front end the car seems like it is solid as a rock. i took it out for a quick spin around the block and i was surprised it was not that bad. the car feels like the way Pearpower described the Bilstein PSS's. just absolutely flat on the corners. no need for upgraded sway bars.

i really like all the adjustability these units have for height you can really slam it down with full suspension travel.

I ill write a review after a few days of driving on them.

What kind of coilover are those? How much?

I think I missed something.
